You're partnered with someone for a project

And they don't do anything. What would you do?

Being me, I would just do all of it and lie to the teacher and say that we did half-half work equally.

I am always the one that does the "free ride" role.

I'm usually like that too, but when it comes to group work I'm on top of things.

Do it all, hand it in with ONLY your name on it!

Do all the work EXCEPT not show them the work (if it is a presentation). Then they're stuck presenting in front of the class not knowing what to do. Did this a few weeks ago with a kid in my English class.

Do the work, I don't even trust them with my grade like that.
Of course I'm not going to let them have the creds, I'll talk to the teacher asking for separate marks while explaining why.
Oh & [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DGxC06AjjA]this is how I feel[/URL]

If its a friend, probably force myself to ride over to their house and work there.
If its some random person.. well, I'd probably do it myself.

Fail because I don't do anything either.

I pretty much force them to let me do everything alone.
If they try to contribute, they'd probably taint my perfection/excellence. :L

I'll just do it.
Who cares. It's my grade too.

i like this type of situation because it lets me do the work the way i want to do it with minimum social interaction

I'd tell the teacher.
Once this happened to me last year, and the teacher let me join another group.

Additional info: Why I do all the work by myself sometimes? Sometimes my partner doesn't provide the best quality of work. Sometimes it may seem that the better person will be doing all the work...[/quote]

Ha, I do that too sometimes. xD

I did that in AP world history. I didn't complain but was so angry at my 'friends' for not doing anything that I didn't tell them I left. They even said "you doin the board?" I replied yes but they didn't know I left. I know you might think I'm an ass but this has never happened to me ever in my entire life nor will i put up with this crap. They don't deserve to be in AP and are probably failing right now.

do everything and make the teach keep close eye on them
and if they try to take credit then ya
but then again you could just tell teach and give them nothing
