Projects are assigned to assess participants’ ability to force their teammates to complete their work on time, whether by force or any other approach. OP had to suffer a mark deduction due to their project partner’s irresponsible attitude, but OP was delighted to teach the partner a lesson. The assignment can be conducted as a group project, but grades should be assigned individually based on each person’s efforts and the quality of their work. OP should learn to remain with the partner and request documented work at every stage so that it does not come as a surprise when the project’s deadline approaches.
