Posted: 4/25/06 at 10:02pmThe evaluations are sort of pointless unless you're honest, don't you think?

No, I'm gonna be honest, but I'm going to explain WHY I did the majority of the work, because I would feel badly if I made it seem like they were slacking. I had to help, but I don't mind.
The bug is back.

Posted: 4/25/06 at 10:08pmAllie -- perhaps, but speaking from past experience, if a group member finds out that you've marked them down, they'll mark you down in revenge, even if you did all of the work. Frankly, I'd rather just make sure that I'm not getting screwed over rather than worry about if my evaluation is a completely accurate representation of workload distribution to the teacher.

Posted: 4/25/06 at 10:11pmWe always had to just hand in the evaluation sheet to the teacher... I don't know how the other group members would see what their grades were!

Well, as I somewhat alluded to before, there have been times when the teachers handed out the evaluation forms to us when we were IN our groups and expected us to fill them out in front of the other members.
If you're filling out an evaluation at your desk and then handing it into the teacher, and the others have no way of seeing it, then of course being honest is a better route to take. Unfortunately, my teachers haven't been exactly logical.

In a class I took last semester, we had to fill out evaluations a couple of times over the course of the semester knowing that both the professor and our team members would see it and that the professor expected us to have a meeting discussing the evaluations once we had seen how we had judged one another.
I think the evaluations for the group project I'm currently dealing with are optional, and won't even count unless enough people in the group fill them out. I don't plan on filling it out, because I'll be lessening the chances of a bad evaluation of me from someone else being counted against me and I don't think I'd be able to separate my personal opinions of my group members from my thoughts on their work ("that one's an annoying overachiever, so I'll mark her down. He gets a good evaluation because I totally wanna hit that...")

Posted: 4/25/06 at 10:19pmI have to leave this in my professor's mailbox. So... people COULD look through them.

Posted: 4/25/06 at 10:20pmTeachers never are logical, they always have some stupid thing they make you do. Even the best teachers I've had made up some stupid thing for marks.

I just came back from a Holocaust commemoration thing.
Friday is Senior Skip Day. Should I skip?

If there's no penalty, go for it! If you go, your classes will be empty, right? So you'll... do nothing?
My principal ran my high school like a prison. She was going to take away our senior picnic if we cut on senior cut day; she said if less then 2/3 of the class showed up that day, she was cancelling it.
... nobody went.

If you're the only person who shows up, you won't do anything anyway. So...cut!

Posted: 4/25/06 at 10:28pmFurther proof that my high school was Nerd Central: Instead of a senior cut day, our tradition was that we had to go in to school the day after prom just to sign the attendance sheet (preferably still in our prom clothes).

I don't think I ever skipped for a senior skip day... my class decided to have several. My junior and senior year, I went for perfect attendance. *weird*
I just decided to listen to the theme song from "Where in the world in Carmen Sandiego?" HA, woo Rockapella!

I don't want to go to school, but I know there will be at least two classes where there will be important AP review, not to mention review before and after school. hmmm. Decisions, decisions...
It's thundering!

Posted: 4/25/06 at 10:46pmNia, do you reach that point every few weeks where you just need to sit down and cry for a half hour because school is so f*cking stressful? Ugh.

Posted: 4/25/06 at 10:48pmNow I feel bad! I smooched you, Nia, but then I had to Google your quote! Heh: "I had to Google your quote." That sounds slightly inappropriate!

I always say I'm gonna do something and then I never do, it's really starting to bother me. I don't have enough will to actually do my homework, or pick a song for my recital, or even choose what I'm going to wear tomorrow. Wow.
I'm sorry I just wrote that terribly boring collection of sentences.

Mandi, I'm confused. I interpreted that post as "Do you always have to break down and bug the hell out of this thread every two weeks" but now that I reread it, it could be "Doesn't IB make you want to scream and sob"?. In the latter case, the answer is absolutely.
*patpat* That's life, Musical Nerd.
Allie, it does sound dirty, but now that you know where my quote is from, you have to watch and/or read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. It has Johnny Depp! On drugs!
