I’m a CS major that is unfortunately in a group where the other two members are lazy, and I end up doing most of the work. It’s too late to change groups. The class itself consists of a research paper/presentations, as well as a programming project/app. Every time I clearly tell them what they need to do, and they say they will do it, but they either don’t do anything, or save it until the absolute last minute, and end up doing a subpar job. I sometimes have to go over, and “improve” their work. They also ask me questions on how to do things.
Ultimately, I cannot just do my part and not do extra work - We all get the same grade, and I don’t want my grade to suffer. I fear that being overly confrontational with them will even further push them away.
Be straight with them and give them a nice hard nudge in the butt if they aren’t people you have to deal with after this class. Don’t talk about the improving their work part, as their effort is the key here, and if you have to only make improvements versus writing it yourself, it’s prob better. Other than that, it’s kind of a rock and a hard place. Worst case, talk to the professor.
That’s the nature of group projects. Same thing happened to me when I was on a group project in school back in the early 80s. Only difference was I was the lazy one everyone else complained about.
