As a teacher I'm actually angrier with your teacher. There should always be a way for partners in any group project to rate each other and for them to turn in all the work they did toward the cumulative end result to help the teacher evaluate and give a fair grade. I think you should talk to your teacher and explain.

I say we pummel said partner with a big stick. Force her to wear a "red nose" and do Panto with Blobby and then kick her arse through the engine!

Ouch.

This is why I work alone.

Wow... That sucks. I hate group work of any kind really for that very same reason. There's always someone who doesn't want to pull their weight and do the work. But that's really bad. Even my pot smoker/dealer partner in my Chem Lab wasn't that bad. Actually...he was better than me...which is why I'm an English major and not a math or science major...heh...

Glad to hear you at least got a 40%. I know my university's policy on plagiarism is a 0 for the assignment and possible suspension or outright expulsion, though the latter depends on the teacher and if he/she reports it.

Hope things go better.

Aw, that sucks. *tear* Ah, well...better luck next time, mm? Here's to hoping for a better lab partner in the future!

Good luck and hope thing's work out well for you. :-D

*hugs*

You went wrong by caring if she failed or not. Obviously SHE didn't care.

Oh well... live and learn.

This is the lenient option. I originally scored zero before I explained what had happened.

Definitely writing seperate lab reports in future.

Wow! That really does suck.

Did you explain the situation to your lecturer? I would have explained the situation and brought in the report that I emailed to her in the first place to show that you had indeed done 90% of the work yourself. And I probably would have mentioned that I did the whole first lab myself. And mentioned how your partner never shows up for said labs.

I don't think of myself as catty, but I wouldn't let another person drag me down like that. Stand up for yourself!

Certainly the lecturer will give you some leniancy if s/he understand your situation.

That really really sucks and I'm sorry you're having to learn such a hard life lesson!

And from now on, can you write separate lab reports?

Poor you! *hugs*

Damn. that utterly sucks. Here's hoping your lab partner gets a good kick from karma sometimes soon. what a jerk.
