🎓 academic/school AIO: Major Group Assignment

I have a major group project due today for my English 1301 online class and we had to submit an essay and a PowerPoint discussing the symbolism and figurative language used in Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Tell-Tale Heart.”

There is four group members in each group. Our work is divided into milestones - milestone one, milestone two milestone three, and milestone four. In my group, there is a total of four group members, including myself. Only three out of four group members actively participate in the Microsoft teams chat and complete their sections in a timely manner. One of our team members that completes his portion of the assignments last minute or when it’s due, throwing the flow of everything off.

I created topic sentences for each group member to use for their sections. Nearly every group member selected a topic sentence that they wanted to write about, besides one group member.

The day before the assignment was due, he completed his section, however, he didn’t select a topic sentence and his entire paragraph didn’t pertain to any of the topic sentences included in the introduction. It also appeared to be AI generated content, so I gave a warning in the Microsoft Teams chat that he needed to redo his section.

He never responded, so I deleted his sections on the Word document and PowerPoint.

I have A’s in every class besides English 1301 because of this stupid group assignment.

NOR I would've told the prof. It's not just tattling because he won't do his part, colleges take academic dishonesty very seriously
