...which leads to me to do 90% of all the work...not because they are so lazy, but because they are useless....

...the problem is, they are nice guys and are trying...so I can hardly tell them what I'm thinking

did they get appointed to the group, or was it by choice?

we were put together by the prof by chance

I suppose the problem is that I'm a rather good student at the end of my studies and they are below average in the middle of theirs

do you have enough time to walk/teach them through some of the work?

no, unfortunately this is my main trouble, I am so busy these days, I'd even be a lot quicker without them

I suppose I will have to be "mean" and tell them that I want to write the final paper by myself and not with the group, I think the prof...

...would accept that

I already pushed them through 2 presentations last weekend, so I already helped them get a better mark than they would have otherwise had

Hi Julian

You migth want to discuss that with the Prof first though.

yes, I have a final presentation on friday and will ask her afterwards

good choice

ARGH!!!! tough luck!!!!

*agrees* I hope these guys start learning quickly

I hope so too, for their own good, but probably it won't happen within this term

give them an inch. They will take a mile. Just sayin.

I just don't understand how unequal people can be with knowledge retention. I can understand if you haven't done something for a while but

if you're in the midst of learning the same stuff, where does it go? (rhetorical question) just sayin'

no, they are in the middle of their study, I am at the end, that'S because university here doesn't have a school system...

...with suggested schedules, you just choose what you want and need from a huge list of classes to collect the exams you need

oh, I get it. Can see how that's good and bad

make them get coffee for you and run errands and do the grunt work. Seriously.
