That's it.

I'm scrapping group presentations for next year.

Cannot deal with the kindergarten level drama and conflict and whining.

On one hand 1st years need presentation skills. On the other... they are getting them in another module. I ain't doing it any more... It was fine for 2nd years, but the module changes to 1st year only from next year so... No more whiny student emails of 'oh we haven't heard from two group members so we've just been waiting on them and not done anything and yeah I know it's two days before the deadline, any advice you could give?' which I then can't answer with 'pull your thumbs out and grow the fuck up'.

I'm just bitter because in my first year I did 90% of the work (as in, picked the topic, wrote the entire presentation and designed the poster) because no-one else in the group could be bothered. So I gave them all a 1st despite me having a fulltime job and the rest of the group not.

So personally? I'd make them do presentations but would insist they did it individually. Then you know they've done the work.
