let's say you're working on a group project with 2 other people.
1 of them is awesome, she pays attention in class and does her share of the work well. the other guy is pleasant, but is a complete social loafer. he misses meetings, makes the rest of the group come to his place to work, and everything he does pretty much has to be redone by you or the other member.
now you finish your project, and everything goes really well. the professor hands out a group evaluation form.
do you: 1) bitch about the group member who did not help and give him a low score 2) suck it up, give everyone a good score
it seems natural to pick the first choice, but here's the problem: it's your word against his. you know that the slacker is going to say that he did a bunch of work and rate himself high. and if the other group member decides to just rate everyone the same, then you look like a whiny bitch to the professor.
what do the wise posters of SA think?
