    disqualification of the whole team.

    Oh fuck no. I’ve been stuck on teams with deadweights before. Teachers refused to do anything about them contributing nothing at all. Still pissed that asshole graduated.

      I swear group assignments are probably the best exposure to real-life work that the school can offer. You will run into people just as lazy throughout your life. Better to recognize them early on and come up with a plan for dealing with them.

        Sure, but when you’re working and happen to have lazy people on your team it’s generally not gonna get you fired and take away significant career opportunities. When you’re in uni, however, you could fail your course and consequently fail to get a degree. The consequences are not comparable.

        Sure, great, it’s one thing if it’s costing the employer money. It’s quite another if I’m paying for an education and the school is fucking me over
