Need advice about Siemens

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I'm a rising junior, so I must be on a team to enter Siemens.<br>
The idea is mine and I've done about 75% of the work. One other member (I'll call him A) did about 14% of the work. The last member (I'll call him B) has barely done anything.</p>

<p>Experiment - I'm not sure what to do with this last member (B). He took the time to visit the experiment (a 2 hour drive, the event lasted 4 hours). The other member (A) was not able to come to this.
Processing - Member B did nothing. Member A and I split the work evenly. This took the most time of all the sections
Writing - As you know, there are ~10 parts to the research paper. I did 6 parts, member A did 2 parts, and member B was supposed to do 2 parts, but he has only done one. On saturday, he said he would have the part for me the next day. Now he says maybe by monday.</p>

<p>Should I drop him from the group? Should I explain what I wrote above to him and ask for the last part the next day and if not, he's out?<br>
I would feel really bad dropping anyone, but member B did devote a whole day (well ~8 hours) to the experiment. But then again, member A and I spent A LOT more time overall than member B did (we did at least 4 to 5 times the amount of work).</p>

<p>So... advice?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Maybe you should talk to member A about it. Tell him your thoughts. If I were you, I would want to drop member B from the group but I wouldn't be able to do it... like you I guess :) Because I would feel bad. But it's also not fair that member B gets the credit when you guys did all the work. Tell member B about what you explained to him above and discuss it with him... you know... ask him how much Siemens means to him, if it's important to him and stuff like that.</p>

<p>If you are basically done with your project, there is no point in dropping members. However, if you still have anything left, I'd give member B a warning to start pulling their weight.</p>
