Is hope or luck actually ethical Nige?

Dunno, should probably study that.

Got a group presentation on Friday and another Friday next week.

Gotta spend the afternoon doing my parts of both as obviously I have to present tomorrow morning and the group for next week's wants everything done by tomorrow when we have our group meeting.

My time management and organisational skills need a lot of work.

My tip, always do group assignments early. And make sure you tell the rest of your group when you've finished your assignment - it makes you look good, meaning they'll think you're smart/are more likely to like you and be in your group in the future/rate you better in the peer review part.

For my two group assignments, I finished one before the other guy even started, and have finished the other well before the other two have.

Oh I meant to, but the mid sem break meant I wasn't keen on doing any Uni work and I more or less booked myself out the entire week to do stuff.  :P

But yeah, I usually do that but this time I'm going about it the hard way. Doesn't help that we're going out for dinner tonight which means I'll have to come back and finish my Ethics one off.

I dislike group assignments.

Had our first group meeting today, the other two seem lost in how to run tests and even understanding what the assignment asks. The assignment asks to make your own research question and test it. One guy understood it, the other not so much. But they both felt like they just wanted to get out of there. I wouldn't mind if they half knew what they were doing, but they don't even follow the lectures or know what tests to run and one of them didn't even want to give me an idea on what he would do his research question on for me to cover the other topic...

It's worth 20% otherwise if it was 10% or less I wouldn't care. Testing stuff is easy and this assignment overall seems fairly easy once you decide what you want to test on, but after that group meeting I got a migraine that still is there now >:(.

Do you get to pick your groups? I'm guessing not from what you're saying...

[Hellopplz]

It's too late to change out (although I could basically do entire thing myself) but I'm happy to do half to two-thirds of the assignment myself since we just have to put it up onto a powerpoint slide pretty much and submit.

In my experience, it varies. For some units - yes, for others - no. Best example is that for the one I have tomorrow, we chose each other (because we needed a group of three and we were all sitting at the same table) but for my Ethics one next week, we were allocated groups. Both have been as bad as each other tbh.

Group assignments are shower if you have a shower group.

I've got one assignment with three lads I played footy with a few years ago so thats sweet, but the other is a group of foreigners who can hardly speak a lick of English.

One of the most difficult things.

Best advice you've ever given on the forum. I do this too, works so damn well!

So my HRM presentation went pretty well. The lecturer/tutor was seemingly pretty happy with it as a whole and even praised me individually while he called the other two in the group out on that transition between their parts and some other stuff.

My Ethics presentation is a different story. We're a group of 5 and we've pretty much had one group meeting with all of us present which was like 10 mins after class on Friday. Also, the weird thing about that presentation is that on the peer evaluation form, you can't give anyone the same score which is kinda annoying when we've all pretty much put in the same amount of effort.
