I just received an email from my group mate who i have been hounding for weeks for her piece of work. For almost 1 month, she has been telling me "tomorrow. i'd send tomorrow." but her tomorrow never comes. SO FINALLY, after so many week, i receive 2 emails from her which are blatantly copied from some website. She didn't even bother to re-write and reference. How do you handle such people?

some would tell you "just don't do the work!" but I understand that your grades depend on this work also. Just do your best though they're like parasites feeding on you. your wits will tell you when to confront them.

How did you get stuck with such a lazy person???? And also what is it pertaining too??? Is it a school project? I would turn her work in as is & with her name on the work & my work would be turned in with my name on it, this way if this is a school project the teacher will know. If it is a school project & you happened to get assigned to her again I would talk with the teacher & tell the teacher to assign with someone else & explain the problem. Good luck & Happy Posting.

it's a group report. and we have an evaluation. but it's still very tiring to be getting such work. and she has a good friend in our group that is obviously hiding her bottom for her and it's frustrating.

I confront them. If this happened to me, I will tell my group mate that the work she did was plagiarized and that if she won't cooperate I'd kick her out of the group and talk to my teacher/professor and tell them about the situation.
