Hiya! You can find prints of this on my store at kkderobst.com and you can find ME on insta under the same name.

"If there is one thing I learned in Roman art history, it's from Brutus, and it's how to stab someone in the back"😂

Rome wasn’t built in a day and they expected to write an essay on it in one ??

I feel this my scientific writing course, i was supposed to write a 10 page essay on the merele gene in dogs with a group of 4 other people. Luckily I have trust issues to I wrote two papers. I did one where I did just my portion and I wrote one where I did the whole thing by myself. I knew by the first time we were supposed to meet and everyone cancelled that I was going to be the only one writing. The day to turn it in came and they all saw me turn in my packet of an essay and when I sat dowm they started thanking me for doing the work. I had already emailed my teacher by the third time we rescheduled our meeting. I got a B and they had to redo the assignment individually.

How you can just sit there and listen to someone present your work without throwing hands is honestly commendable…

For those who don't understand what she meant at the end, it probably means they didn't get their credits for that class, so were one year behind on that specific class. Basically, a junior with a sophomore class and then a senior with a junior class, forcing them to say both when people ask their grade.

This is why the night before you notify the professor of the work you did as well as the situation with the other group members.

i fully support snitching in college. I HATED group projects and got paired up with the worst. For our final 3d animation video my partner suddenly called in sick (a "flu" that lasted for 5 weeks but still went partying) and was supposed to send me an entire car model and 2 scene animation, easy work considering i empathized with her and decided to do 70% of the work, she ghosted me and i had to model, texture, animate as well as edit "OUR" video, luckily the professor recognized my art style and worked something out with me but i was so exhausted, i never knew it was possible to stay awake for 2 nights until that moment.

There was this one girl in highschool who never did her work on time. The first year we learned our lesson, the two that followed we didn't want anything to do with her. Except one of the girls my friend an I paired with for big group projects was her friend, and couldn't say no to her in fear of looking bad, so she shoved that responsibility onto others. One time, senior year, we were working in groups of five, and my friend and I talked to the teacher and ended up working just us two because we couldn't put up with her again and would rather have a bigger work load each. It went like a breeze, especially since it was the second trimester and we had different group projects for different classes and we divided the work among us two based on our strengths and then decide and/or put the projects together at school since it wasn't easy to meet up often to work together in real life. Those projects were part of our final grades for senior year.

Now I’m all for procrastinating on my own projects and doing them as the teacher is collecting them but, group projects are a different story

I did, in fact, get an A on an essay I wrote the night before once. It is very possible, however I suggest doing it gradually over time and polishing it before the hand in date, it’s much less stressful.

Whenever I worked on a group project, I kept in mind the idea that none of the others would do their work, which would mean me coming in clutch for their part. This mindset helped me make sure I was always prepared and saved my grades (and the rest of the group) whenever a weak link (cough*lazyone*cough) would reveal itself on D-Day.

The way the paintbrush just glides across the paper is just wonderful and the art is so beautiful 🤧

That’s really shitty and I am that person that can do an essay an hour before class but you will never catch me doing that in a group project. Glad you got justice♥️♥️

They tried to steal your thunder. And you stole it back. Nice lol

Broooo that painting is sick ash. Kinda trippy, gotta look closely to see how the boxes and colors blend I love it 😍

I still haven’t fully forgiven the group who arranged to meet the day before deadline WHEN I HAD WORK to “do the presentation”. I did my quarter of the work and emailed it to them, I checked my phone on breaks to make sure there were no issues, nobody contacted me. MORNING OF DEADLINE, they claim they never got my work and need me to do the last quarter (even though some of my sentences were still in paragraphs that had been redone by them). Did my best but we weren’t done at presentation time. Prof kindly gives us the rest of the day, but a) I have class and b) I’m mad now. They scraped it together without me, and I used the “groupwork analysis” to present proof that I HAD, in fact, finished my share. Everyone passed, and I passed slightly better than they did, but the feeling of “what do you mean I still have to do the assignment I spent hours on and finished my part of?” sucked

You didnt stab them in the back, you just gave them a dose of reality. They are grown people, and should learn to be responsible for themselves instead of pushing their problems on others, mummy and daddy aint always around to carry their shit

“It happened to be a group project, which SUCKED-“ Relatable asf 😭😭😭

One time in art class we had this group project it consisted of 4 people including me yk what I did? Everything 2 people in my group were fighting the whole time and the other person was talking with her friends! I did the whole art project by myself with the help of a friend who just colored a bit of the background. I told the teacher no one helped me except my friend and he goes “if no one helped you then they get no credit because they didn’t do any work” was very satisfied with that answer and glad they got what they deserved!

As a procrastinator, good on you. I’ll admit defeat before I screw someone else over on a group project.

Scenarios like these when I went to school is why I wish more teachers would go to each group and note down who in the group was assigned what task/topic. The groups decide that on their own, but the teacher has the notes ready for presentation day. Then no person can get by with riding on someone elses effort, or others failing because one/several didn't do their part. This way the students who did their work can get an appropriate grade and whoever didn't do their part is alone with their consequences. I had one teacher who did this and all the slackers learnt quickly to actually put in effort.

I had a "best friend" do this with a lot of my work and ideas back in highschool. She still has it on her official LinkedIn as well. Almost makes me laugh she was that pathetic she had to do that. These people are fakes. Karma gets them. I love your freaking work❤❤❤

I despised group work in school. We all saw what they were doing. Stick good student with the near-dropouts. Student won't cut their own nose, so even if it's a poor grade for them, they uplifted the dropouts enough to preserve the bell curve.

Here my son had the same issue. In any team work he would end up doing all the work alone, even the parts that weren't his, because every teacher always told him it was supposed to be a team work and the same vote would go to all. They were practically saying in a team you're responsible for the team. None of his class mates ever wanted to put in any work, so he often ended up doing it all by himself. I'm talking middle school, high school AND university. But in work environments it's very much the same. I think it's an idiotic system to just relieve the teacher (or boss) from taking measures. All the kids that skipped work think themselves so clever and they will simply grow into parasites.

I love story’s of people getting revenge of a group mate that didn’t do shit on the project Edit: I haven’t seen this comment since I commented it and oh god this is the most likes I’ve ever had on a comment thank you

Worst group project that I've experienced actually had to do with the nature of the assignment. My group had to dissect a donated lab rat for a biology assignment for a week (this was when I was in middle school, back when Myspace was big and some time before KZfaq - we didn't have to dissect frogs, but technology wasn't yet at the point where people could digitally dissect something yet). I can remember being squeamish/not being able to pull my weight for the project, but ended up needing to suck it up since the group assignment relied on everyone doing their part. I was eventually able to deal with it and got my group and I to pass the assignment - but man, I'm really thankful they have better technology to teach kids nowadays! 0_0

Good. I can't stand cheaters and plagerizers.

In psych rn! Fun fact, the phenomenon when people put less work into projects when working in a group is called social loafing! This is the reason most people who don’t like working in groups hate group work.

I had to do a group project, which i typically don't like. I cant remember what it was over but the other two of my partners refused to do the work and opted to let me do all of it. So, like a normal person, I did nothing. I ended up working by myself on a presentation of my own instead of working on a group project. When it was our turn to present, they had nothing and i had my presentation. I told my teacher what was up and they ended up failing the assignment while i got a solid grade. Really cool art, by the way

I had the same thing happen to me once - the person who went before me started my part of the presentation and I was so confused. I talked to the professor afterwards and it was ultimately fine but I was so annoyed.

They had to … whut ? I listened 4 times & still have no idea what The Consequences were

Props to the prof who understood the situation.

I'm a huge procrastinator and it's definitely a problem. I can also write a research paper the night before and get an A, but as soon as it's a group project where my work will effect other people, I will make sure everything is done a week in advance. Don't get me wrong, I hate group projects, but I refuse to be the one who drops the ball at the last minute.

It’s funny that I’m getting this video now, because yesterday my partner for a presentation, for which I did practically all the work,…simply didn’t show up to it. And she neither warned me nor sent me any of our materials…so I had to improvise her and my part alone without a PowerPoint…

I did ONE group project in uni and we were only two people. Here you have 3 chances to pass, and she was the type of person who would just not submit an exam if she didn't think she could get the highest. I actually threatened her with telling the professor EVERYTHING, contacting administration and borderline violence if she didn't do her part so we could submit. The amount of calls I got(we lived in different cities) because she had a "breakdown because she didn't know what to write" was insane. I basically did the entire project, we both ended up with the highest possible grade, I'm still so incredibly salty about that

This reminds me of my first ever presentation at a corporate meeting. My boss was also supposed to present during this time but for a different topic. I was given very specific topics to put together. I pulled data and compiled all of this info/personal insights and innovation, etc. Here comes the day of the meeting. Boss asks to check out what I have for my presentation "out of curiosity" and I proceed to stupidly hand over my notes for him to give a once over. After a few minutes, he hands them back and says "well done, looks like you put in a lot of effort". We go up to present, I am supposed to say my part first. He steps in front of me and says "I'll just go ahead and go". THEN PROCEEDS TO TOUCH ON EVERY SINGLE TOPIC I WAS GOING TO DISCUSS, A LOT OF IT DAMN NEAR WORD FOR WORD, leaving me standing up there fuming. When he was done, he turns to me and says,"do you have anything to add or does that cover it?" That guy is now the bumbling District Manager for a rapidly failing company and I eventually wisened up and got the hell out. Now they are a sinking ship. Fuck people like that.

This reminds me of a presentation a few jobs ago. It was our annual meeting with community partners and coalition members. My boss had everyone do a rehearsal presentation to him for ahead of time, he didn't show his work because "he was fine and didn't need approval". On the day of the annual meeting he presented right before I did. Why I say he shared my presentation, it was my exact presentation - the order of going through our issues, the exact wording of what I was going to say, he even used the exact jokes I had written in the same place. I was shocked and horrified. When he came off stage and it was time for me to go he even gave me a little smirk as he walked past. Oddly enough, I gave my presentation, with only minor ad libs, but a lot of enthusiasm and energy. I got bigger reactions, louder laughs, and bigger applause. I don't know if they didn't realize it was the same presentation. Maybe it was just unconsciously more interesting to hear from the person who did the work and knew the information. But I'll never forget it. People who don't do their work in school go on the being people who don't do their work as adults too.

i love you’re shading both literally and figuratively

They aren't wrong, but are so insufferably smug I don't feel bad for em.

Thats awesome. Similar thing happened to me (I’m a high school freshman), but google docs edit history doesn’t lie. Seeing their face when I ccd them on the email with the screenshots would have made my life.

I absolutely hate group projects, I used to love them, until I realized that most the time, you get matched with people who try to push work onto everyone else. On my last willing project, I did 90% of the work, but we were individually graded despite the work being presented as ONE. And somehow, I was graded the lowest although our presentation was all of MY WORK that they were leeching off of. I refused to do group work, I was so DONE. I was much happier doing all that work myself and being out in the open, than people getting credit for what I did. My grades weren't negatively impacted by the laziness of others after this, it made me more productive. I am so happy to finally be done with schools in general.

god sorry but all i can focus on is the lovely brushwork youre showing us, makes me wanna get into brush art like this again

Okay, but Roman History is fucking wild and interesting

I hate those types of people on projects because they get all mad that they got no points for not doing anything when you bring it up with your teacher. I'm all for procrastinating on my own work, but not when there's other people involved with the grade.

That's why you always go first in group presentations. No one can steal your shit if you go first. And then watch them struggle their way through their part, only jumping in at the very end when the professor starts asking questions, because you also did their part and can actually answer these questions.

"Which SUUUUCKED!" I felt that 😂

I've had teachers who'd grade us ALL as a group, no exceptions. Such a dumb rule. We had a Spanish project where we had to perform a Spanish scene of some skit we watched. I had a group with 1 girl and 2 native Spanish speaking dudes. You'd think since they were native Spanish speakers this would be the easiest for them. The ENTIRE TIME we worked on the script, all they did was talk to each other and not help at all. Whenever we asked them to do one basic task, they would need to be reminded multiple times in the same class period. We asked them to proofread and they did it for maybe less than a min, and we still found grammatical errors. Anyways, the biggest rule was we were not allowed to use notecards when performing. Not only did these bozos not memorize their parts, but they ALSO read EVERYRHING off the script. The professor gave all of us an 80. I asked why and he told me it's because those two didn't memorize their part. I asked how that's my fault, and he said we should have kept them in check since it's a "team effort." DUDE HOW WERE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW THESR NATIVE SPANISH SPEAKERS WERE GONNA READ OFF THE SCRIPT. We were not even informed about this "group grade" policy beforehand. I was so proud of my part too...

I’ll never forget the two classes I did the group projects by myself in. Not a single person in my group emailed anyone to even start until *8pm* the day before it was due. By then, I had already done and submitted the whole project alone lmao

I've had nearly the opposite experience in a group and it's just as bad. I told them I was certified in html and I was the only one who did web development before, but they wouldn't allow me to do the backend. I ended up doing frontend. Finished everything, got my presentation together, and then went in one day to work on it and when I opened up my laptop, all my work was deleted...they deleted all my work...they wanted a blank white page over what I did...I- I'll never get over this. I was the only girl in the group. Kinda scared to go into this male heavy tech field, but I must😔✊🏽

As someone who CAN write an essay in a day, and has written at least 20 essays in a day that got an A, I wouldn't wait that long in a group project, and I certainly wouldnt steal anyones woek like that! Im so very sorry that anyone even considered doing that :(

Reminds me of my latin class. We did a group project and i was in charge of the art, someone did research and another person did the essay. As it turns out, the guy that did the essay completely plagiarized the entire thing and we had to come in after school and each turn in our own essay. I turned in a terrible essay, looked at the teacher and was like "i only did the art, this is all i know." He gave me pity points 😂

I had a similar situation in uni. I was doing a group project with four other girls and we had to make a presentation and then show it to the class where we would get a shared grade. I wasn't normally there, so I didn't know anyone particularly well, but three of the girls were best friends from school and the other was deaf and didn't speak to anyone. I knew sign language so I worked with the deaf girl while the three others laughed off the project and said they'd "get it done". Come the day of the presentation, they had submitted nothing and all three of them had mysteriously disappeared. So the deaf girl removed their names from all the documents and slides and I presented. An hour later, we got a message from them in a group chat asking how "we'd " done and I said that we'd got 84%, which was an A. The next morning, they received their grades, which were all 0%. They asked what happened and I just said "you didn't complete the project, simple as." I never saw them again, but I still speak to the deaf girl a lot now. We both graduated together this year. It turned out that the three girls did this a lot and subsequently had to repeat their year.

This one group assignment got me with all the deadbeats who assumed I would just make all the slides and present. I just stood on stage pretending to have lost my voice to a cold and watched them questioned by the faculty. Petty and self destructive , yes. But worth it.

I'm shocked nobody is pointing out "Roman art history" being called a "normal academic course"

This is why I loved one of my first year professor’s policies on group work (which was basically the entire curriculum in that specific course). He required everyone to independently fill out a document after the project was due but before it was graded, indicating how much of the work each person did and how they worked overall with the rest of the group. Things like if they showed up to group meetings, if they were cooperative, if they contributed ideas at all, etc. This would then be factored into their actual grades, and if someone didn’t turn one in, some of their own grade points would be deducted but not anyone else’s. The rest of the group members never got to see these documents either, only the professor.

Something similar happened when I was in college. On presentation day for my medical physiology class, the guy that was in charge of submitting our presentation, created a new one by himself. He didn't say a word to any of us about it prior. I was LIVID because I'd spent hours creating a good presentation and he just tossed it. So when it's my turn to speak, I'm speechless, because idk what I'm even looking at or where to start. What he created wasn't visually engaging and was extremely vague. He then takes over and begins talking for me, which makes me look unprepared. This pissed me off even more, because I couldn't even fake it and just present what was there. I'm an introvert and to public speak is already nerve-wracking, so I'd meticulously planned everything I was going to say. Anyway, after class, I immediately emailed the professor and sent the original presentation that we ALL agreed on 2 days prior, as well as highlighted what my section was. I also offered to come in and present on my own, so she'd know I was prepared. Oh! I forgot to mention, she immediately entered the grades in after class and gave me a C. After reading my email, she spoke with the Dean of the College of Health Sciences (which I didn't know she'd do) and I was given an A. That was a huge lesson for me in so many ways. From then on, I final submitted every group project I ever worked on in college lol. It also taught me to advocate for myself. Had I left it alone, I would've gotten a C. And finally, I learned to overcome, somewhat, being an introvert. I still hate large social gatherings, but I forced myself to take on more public speaking opportunities, and even worked a job that required me to talk extensively to people. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk

Back in college i had a guy who did this to me. He had a big ego and was always a show off. He didn't do any of the lab work and wanted all the presentation credit. He took my and another kids portion. I said nothing, other than tell the other kid to relax. Came to me. I threw in my USB, looked up, apologized to the class that there was going to be a repeat in information. And released a whole set of data and information that was not shared with the ah, motion to my other classmate to finish with a majority different conclusion. Professor wasnt happy and came to ask why we had a disjointed presentation. And I presented a copy of all the data sheets and student check ins and out. Including all the files the other students sent me, including all the major correspondence between my lab mates. All except... AH. AH didn't realize that the data set that he bullied out from another lab mate was missing the set he would have collected. He failed the assignment and the rest of my team got graded on the presentation that didn't include his bs. Twas grand. Professor was said "stealing other people's work and presenting it as your own is HIGHLY frowned upon in academia, especially in the medical field." And eyed AH so hard even though the class was marine biology.

Back in school I was known as the art kid so when we could choose our groups normally someone picked me up to make the entire presentation while the rest would do the entire talking involved with it, which for an introvert is a fantastic deal. But when the teacher choose the groups than we had nearly always the described situation in the video and doing it alone was seen as and treated like le revolution against the teacher and school.

The pen writes so deliciously

LITERALLY the exact same thing happened to me back when I was in college So basically as part of engineering curriculum, we had to spend one month of summer vacation doing summer training. And during that month, all the students in groups of four have to visit an industrial/ construction area on a daily basis. where we will be as observers learning how things work in that area (work scope, work culture, safety regulations, etc…). Me and three colleagues were going to a hospital that was under construction. And the construction manager was really supportive and welcoming and taught us a lot. HOWEVER, i was the only one who was writing notes at the time because each one of us will have to prepare a presentation about the things that he learned during his summer training and present it to the college professors. NOW HERE IS THE REAL KICK IN THE NUTS, while preparing the presentation, one of my group members asked for my notes and I told him that the notes had plenty of information for both of us, as long he helps me with presentation preparation and he agreed. BUT… on presentation day, i was supposed to be first but since the professor didn’t come in time, I thought that maybe i could go for a quick bath room break and I already told my colleague to call me once the professor arrives. Moments later, he called and told me that the professor came. But when I got there 😮… i got PISSED. NOT ONLY DID HE PRESENT BEFORE ME, BUT ALSO USED ALMOST ALL OF MY NOTES AS IF IT WAS HIS 😮. And the professor even told me as I entered “ wow he did such an amazing job, I can’t believe he managed to gather this much knowledge during the summer vacation” That was my hard work!!!!!!!🤬 There was no way I was going to let that slide!! So I told the professor right in front of everyone “These were my slides and I have proof” Then I proceeded to present what I have prepared (even though that guy already mentioned it) Then after I left, that colleague HAD THE AUDACITY TO GET UPSET 😮. He said that what I did was not cool at all, and it made him look bad 🙄. Wow

I’ve had many group projects in my 23 years, and despite attending college the one seared into my memory was my 10th grade chemistry project. Because the teacher forced us to make a music video in which we had to write song lyrics explaining a chemistry topic, sing them, and cut together footage of us providing visual aides. Doing all the work because my partners were extremely lazy was the least of my problems for that project, I had to _sing._ With no backup or harmonizing with my group like I asked, which would have disguised the fact that we aren’t singers, we were teenagers recording on a very crappy built in laptop mic. So when the entire class burst into laughter at how bad the singing quality was, I was alone in my shame. It lasted 5 minutes, and they didn’t stop laughing _once._ Our teacher was nice, but that project was so evil that it overshadowed every nice thing she ever did. That shit *_haunts_* me. Even if I got my partners docked severely for not helping, nothing could ever fix that rare moment of public humiliation for me.

I love that you guys played this game. I’ve watched a couple of others play this and this group was by far the funnest to watch. You weren’t try Harding, you didn’t get angry at each other, no rage quit, or massively abuse the checkpoints. By far my favorite watch of the game so thank you. 😊

I am thay guy that can write an essay the night before and get an A. My entire class was pissed about it when they found out after finals.

Bruh, that deserves an A+, my dude.

From a former adjunct professor - I despise group projects. I always made a point of making sure that each group member has a piece of their own.

Am I the only one when I first saw it saying: "STICH!" With SUCH confidence😭😭

Roman art history is literally so fun what do you mean 😭

That's why I would always ask to just do the entire project myself, I didn't care about the work load. I'd rather do the extra work and pass then have to potentially lose more points on the assignment because someone didn't do their part.

It’s amazing how it takes such a small number of people to mess up everything for the majority.

THATS BETTER THAN I COULD EVER DO

Group projects can only be either a blessing or a nightmare. There is no in-between.

Kudos to the guy for not getting completely in trouble, my art school would have said “aha- yeah academic dishonesty isn’t tolerated here.”

I remember this happening to me and some others in my CAD class when I went to college. I was majoring in Fashion Design and my CAD class was partnering up with a CAD class in a college in Mexico. Me and a few of my classmates were paired with a few students from that class and we were tasked with creating a collection that incorporated influences from both locations. My classmates and I busted our asses with little to no communication and contribution from the other class (not because of a language barrier, they just weren't talking to us) and when it came time to present our project, they used our work and lazily put it together to use it as theirs. This was apparently an issue with everyones' groups in the class and needless to say, I and everyone in my class was upset about it. Our teacher ended confronting their teacher about it and I think they got reprimanded for it.

I tried to focus on the story but HOLY CRAP THAT DRAWING OF THE DRAGON IS INSANELY GOOD

There’s always one of these in each group

Except for the fact that Brutus was the only member of the mutiny that stabbed Caesar in the front. "Et tu, Brutei?"

Girl started a painter's villain arc

Group projects in school only taught me that teammates slow you down and it's better to do everything solo, that way everything can be completed in a way that is comprehensive and not lacking in an area where another person may end up not contributing. It fosters individual responsibility and independence in one's own efforts to achieve a goal previously intended for 2 or more people to reach working together.

The fact you still got an A-

I had something similar happen to me in high school. It was the most frustrating and embarrassing thing I have ever experienced. I HATE group assignments.

Seriously though, group projects are a pain. I'm someone who does extremely well on my own. I hated being in a group because sometimes I'm the group leader because I'm "smart" even though I'm someone who doesn't do well telling people what to do or asking for opinions of what to do because i feel shy doing so. However, i do excell in getting the job done if I'm told to what to do or if I'm alone. I just hate being at the center and tell people what not to do. It feels extremely wrong to tell people they shouldn't do something.

I want a whole book with your art.

Yeah I did a similar thing when I was put in the one group with 3 members instead of 4 in CHEM I for a project, and they were the least motivated people there basically. So I mostly did the entire thing since it wasn't being done properly by them. I was pretty miffed and gave negative feedback on the group feedback thing, and ended up getting an A while they got a B or C. They didn't straight up take my material tho, at least. I felt like I was being a queen at the time, but at 26 I'm way more confident in sticking up for myself. I'm glad you did too! That piece is incredible btw!

A- is much better than a shitty partner taking all the credit, proud of you for standing your ground

When I first scrolled to this I was distracted and I thought you said something about "academic horses". I suddenly became very interested. I was slightly disappointed that this wan't about equine scholars, but I loved the painting.

That painting is so good!!

bro backstabbed someone twice all at the same time bro

I was in a four person group and two people kept promising they were doing their part, but didn't give us anything. Us other two let the professor know and his response was, "You're still sharing grade, work it out." They never gave us anything, and despite us adding to be graded on our half, we got a point above failing. The other two members didn't suffer because THEY WERE PROFESSORS. WHO WERE AUDITING.

This is why I used the Google Doc format for the every project. Google doc lets multiple people use any essay and everyone can even choose what color to represent themselves. Then on the Google doc everyone write what their task is and what each deadline for each task is. Most projects are due in 3 months more or less so I make deadlines for each step. I always started these right away so I wouldn’t be overwhelmed later on. Usually never have an issue with these and everyone’s email is connected so no one can deny their access and participation. The only issue are older adults who are not tech savvy. They usually just write things in pen and paper and I take a photo and add it to google doc. People usually like stuff like this because it means they have a guide and specific expectations. Lazy people get noticed with proof for not contributing and it WILL be brought up with the professor. I don’t play. I take myself too seriously because I need to get crossfaded once a week. I don’t got time to do someone else’s work 🍻

I never had to do a group project, the only benefit of being rejected by everyone in school.

I had to tell you I cross posted this to my threads (IG) because I LOVE it. I have never in my life heard of the shaming disgrace with terms "sophomore - junior" & "junior - senior." And this kind of sh*t happened to me often throughout my time in academia. ❤ Please keep making killer awesome art and being an honorable art historian! 😊 Also... Never forget about Brutus.

The twist being "Sophomore Junior Junior Senior" has the same energy as "man door hand hook car door".

In Germany we got this wonderful saying to represent the people that don't do shit in a team. You gotta love the sarcastic aggressiveness. TEAM T.oll E.in A.nderer M.achts (Basically the starting letters of TEAM align with the words meaning "Great, someone else is dong it!"😅)

And that’s why my school always gave individual grades for each team member And my Uni only does group work for low credit pass/fail units.

Story aside, THAT ART IS FANTASTIC

Had this scenario with a person in my group who did nothing. Told the prof at the end of my lecture they did nothing to contribute, he told me it was to late and that the evidence of them not contributing was not enough. He also told me to learn from what I did and do the presentation better…

Which is why it would be the best to grade the students individually even in group projects. Had some projects like that. I'm not the most hardworking but still do my job type of person and I think that is the best. No pressure that my performance would affect the group either. Thankfully even the laziest members in my groups never steal someone's point. Guess some peope have no shame

As someone who had 75% of my work plagiarised so badly the teachers admitted it when they walked into the girls exhibit she set up, sadly the school was filled with lazy teachers and because they knew I was a full time carer for my dying mother on top of doing full time school when I applied for her to get into actual trouble with all the proof they just said ‘well your mum is dying and we don’t want to do the work, you won’t have the time to go through the process so give up.’ Even though they themselves told me what happened and called it out. Safe to say I ended up leaving art school. The chick took one of the things she stole from me and repeated it all the way to her final big piece for exams in her last year. But it did show she had next to no actual creativity and she hasn’t gotten anywhere with her art, still it crushed me so badly at the time when my life was already really bad, so glad your teacher was better about this

Bruh, back then being in a group was the best things and now it just feels annoying to be in one
