<p>so my teacher gave out this sheet explaining a project we had to do. from the sheet, it looked like we were required to have a partner. so I asked someone... let's call him Max. later, though, my teacher clarified that we didn't have to have a partner (although we were allowed to). personally, I'm usually more comfortable working alone than with a partner, so I emailed Max after school on Friday and politely explained that. but he didn't reply so I'm not sure if he got my email. I'm worried that on Monday he'll still be expecting me to work with him (if he didn't read my email yet). the project is due tuesday. I'ld feel bad if I made him do the project by himself in only one day, but, at the same time, should I just tell him that I want to work alone (and that I emailed him) right then and there, since he didn't even bother to contact me when the project is due so soon? </p>
<p>I'm hoping to finish is this weekend, and I could just let him put his name on it too, but, frankly, that's not going to happen. I really hate lying. and then I'ld just tell him that I'm not partnering with him.</p>
<p>or I could not do anything (or not do much) until monday so (in the case he didn't get my email) we could work on it together, but it's a long project, and I'ld rather not stay up late on monday doing this (not to mention, than I'll be keeping my family up too since we're doing it at my house). and he didn't even try to contact me beforehand to see if we could meet up earlier.</p>
<p>sorry for how long this is... I'm horrible at articulation when I'm worried. </p>
<p>I could, but we both have something on monday so we’ll already start late, and this isn’t the kind of project you could just do half of. we literally need to build something that fulfills a specific function, so it basically requires us to build, see if it works, and try again until it does work.</p>
<p>You could call him and tell him that you prefer working alone. If you don’t feel comfortable doing that, you could message him on facebook. A lot of people don’t check their emails because they think facebook is newer and stuff. I personally like emailing because it seems more professional.</p>
<p>Well since it is due Tuesday and he hasn’t even tried to get in touch with you about doing the project then there should not be a problem since you did make contact with him. What if you were unavailable on Monday to work together? That being said why not make a phone call rather than rely on email?</p>
<p>I don’t have his number or facebook. only his email.</p>
<p>I think I’m pretty much just going to tell him that I’m working alone if he brings it up on Monday. I can’t let this project keep eating me up. I’ll feel bad about it, but I figure there isn’t much else I can do. no way we could get the whole thing done on monday without being up really late anyways.</p>
<p>This is going to sound really mean, but if he hasn’t contacted you about the project at all, then why assume that he even cares? Just do the project on your own. Don’t let your grade suffer because he didn’t talk to you about it. Just my 2 cents.</p>
