Oh, 32 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: I was inspired by another post which triggered the heck 33 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: out of me and resulted in this post. So there 34 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: was this college project where it was assigned to a 35 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: group of five. We didn't know each other. And I'm 36 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: convinced teachers do this not so we learn how to 37 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: work in groups, but rather so they have to only 38 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: mark six papers instead of thirty, just making it easier 39 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: for the natures. 40 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 2: Yep, So let me. 41 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: Tell you a little bit about this group. One of 42 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: the other four showed up to one of our team 43 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: meetings once the others never showed up at all. 44 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 3: Geez, guys, like, calm down, stoff, you know you don't 45 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 3: have to god, guys. 46 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: The one who did show up brought no work, no laptop, 47 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: no pen or paper. Was just there sitting looking into 48 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: my eyes with a look that only a half brain 49 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: dud mouse could Everyone had a specific section to work on, 50 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: and we were to present in class as a group 51 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: throughout the term. This is a whole term project, by 52 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: the way, whole last term. Throughout the whole last term, 53 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: we had a Google doc where we could upload our work. 54 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: One signed on once and did nothing else. One asked 55 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: one question saying what the happens is even about? One 56 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: said this is stropper and I'm not doing it. The 57 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: other one copy and pasted from Wikipedia. And that was 58 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: the contribution of the other four group members. Everything was 59 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: divided evenly, and every week we were to check in 60 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: with our professor in regards to questions or problems. 61 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: I did it hold back, hm. 62 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: I simply asked, what would happen if I only do 63 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: my part because the other four were flaking out and 64 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: not even coming to class. 65 00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: Her response, We'd all fail, so dumb, so fine. I 66 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 2: did everything. 67 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: Day of the presentation, they all showed up for the 68 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: first time ever. This project was worth forty percent of 69 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: our great Wow. The class had a copy of the 70 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: presentation and the professor had a line by line version 71 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: of what we were going to present, as well as 72 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: a written report. I gave the introduction and let the 73 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: other four present their parts. They never once asked to 74 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: see any of it. Or read any of it beforehand. 75 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: They were just going to present on whatever. Okay, the 76 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: power point was just a photo, no text, and none 77 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: of them had anything to say. One tried to sum 78 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: up my introduction, and he looked worse for trying. The 79 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: others simply refused to go to the podium. What I 80 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: did not do was put text on the PowerPoint for 81 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: any parts, which means I had to memorize my intro, 82 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: my section in the conclusion, in my support for the conclusion, 83 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: I summarize what they were supposed to say, so it 84 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: made sense. The written report only had my name on it, 85 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: and I included an indendum for the other four people's contribution. 86 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: In total, it was a print out of our work 87 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: on the Google doc which had all their names and contributions, 88 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: including plagiarized Wikipedia section. 89 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 3: And I'm also imagining just like the comment of like, 90 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 3: what the F is this? This is stupid? Just yeah, 91 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 3: just sold for everyone to see in the addendum. 92 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 2: This was the only contribution. My group was pissed. 93 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: They were pissed at me for not including the text, 94 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: or specifically for screwing up their parts. They didn't even 95 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: know the topic of the presentation, let alone what they 96 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: were supposed to say. Oh my god, my professor said, 97 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: we'd all get the same grade, and because four out 98 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: of the five sections were incomplete, it would be a 99 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: failing grade. 100 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 2: Who are these teachers like? 101 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 3: Do they watch you to like c Clearly this person 102 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 3: put forth effort, and clearly they didn't. So how are 103 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 3: you gonna reward nothing and punish like greatness? 104 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 2: Greatness? Oh, Pie's greatness. 105 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, But I was going in so 106 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 1: but Ope was going into that presentation with a ninety 107 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: eight percent. So even if OP got a zero, they'd 108 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: still pass the course. But there was no way I 109 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: was accepting that. There's an appeal process that goes to 110 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: the chair of the program and then the dean of 111 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: the school. On the day of the appeal meeting with 112 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: the chair of the program, I was informed that they 113 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: decided I would be graded for my part and the 114 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: other four would get a zero. 115 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 2: Oh. 116 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: I got an eighty five, which honestly was a low 117 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: grade for that work, but the other four failed the program. 118 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: If I had put this is an interesting point. Yeah, 119 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: if I had put the text in the power point 120 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: and just let them read it, we probably would have 121 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: passed and would have up my average from a ninety 122 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: three percent to a ninety five percent or something like that. 123 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: But I regret nothing. It was so worth it to 124 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: get that sweet sweet justice of all those freeloaders getting 125 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: a big fat zero. 126 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: We'll be right back after the break. 127 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 3: So Sam and I recently converted this podcast to anchor, 128 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 3: and it was so easy. I mean, Sam, I wish 129 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 3: all conversions with its easy, even spiritual ones. 130 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: So John, I actually called up the Church of Scientology 131 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: and asked, how can I convert Scientology Information Center? 132 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 3: How can I help you? 133 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 2: Hello? 134 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: I saw many of your pamphlets and I was wondering 135 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: if I could get more information about like like doing 136 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: some kind of like converting or joining the group.
