For a programming assignment for one of my classes, we were supposed to work in groups. I had every intention of working on my own until I realized that the assignment was so large that a single person would likely not be able to do it themselves. So I agreed to let two other (much weaker) students join me.

Sensing that I would likely be the only one who really knew what they were doing, I assigned much of the project to myself and gave small parts to the other members.

One guy wrote some code but clearly did not do any error checking. It wouldn’t even run. He has not yet responded to my telling him so.

The older woman has not given me any code yet, but says that she’s “working on it.” It’s been over a week now.

I have a bad, bad feeling about this… I may as well have done this by myself. I’ve already done almost all of it, and am now trying to salvage myself by doing their parts as well.

It’s due tomorrow, by the way.

This is a two-part assignment. I absolutely refuse to work with them on the next part.

 EDIT: The woman has come through and delivered beautiful, bug-free code. The guy sent in a revision of his code but again did not do any error-checking. He has effectively done nothing for this project. I hope he fails.
