Group Work. Ah. Here come the issues. The group chat is like a ghost town. People ask questions and it takes days for people to reply. DAYS. I am spending the majority of my life at my grandfathers bed side at the moment, in hospital and having warned my group that I might be unresponsive, there continues to be radio silence and complete lack of communication on a few people’s behalf and unfortunately I feel a lot of responsibility for it. I the being caught in the middle of family issues and uni. And I hate the fact that my group have to just deal with that. There’s no special consideration for them so the expectation is that I will just keep working even when there is a massive problem with communication.

Glancing at the Collaborative contract, I’ve noticed that all of our skills are different and a lot of my contributions are meant to be in the editing phase, so at this point, I feel like I’m not needed but because all of us are so busy, I wish I could facilitate some work because I know it’s essential that we start working on this assignment now.

One of the things that concerns me is that not even the research portion of the assignment has been done and that counts for quite a substantial part of the writing of the essay. The annotated bibliography is a required document and is due on Thursday. Not excited about the total lack of research so I’m gonna try get a little done now. Cheerio.
