What would you do if you partner in a class presentation didn’t do their work and won’t respond to your emails?

What would you do if your partner for a class presentation neglected their responsibilities and isn’t replying to your messages? You had a significant presentation that was meant to be divided between the two of you, and while you completed your portion, they contributed nothing and are unresponsive. With time running out, there’s no way to catch up on their part now.

  1. That sounds really frustrating, and I can understand how stressful that situation must be, especially with the deadline approaching. Here are a few steps you could consider:

    1. Document Everything: Make sure to keep a record of all your attempts to communicate with your partner, including emails, messages, or any other way you tried to reach them. This will be helpful if you need to explain the situation to your instructor.

    2. Reach Out to Your Instructor: As soon as possible, inform your instructor or professor about the situation. Explain what happened, how you tried to collaborate, and your partner’s lack of response. They may have procedures in place for handling such issues.

    3. Prepare Your Presentation: Focus on preparing your portion as best as you can. If necessary, you can mention in your presentation that it was meant to be a joint effort but address the current situation honestly.

    4. Stay Professional: Even if you’re frustrated, try to remain professional in your communication with both your partner and your instructor. This will reflect well on you and help maintain your credibility.

    5. Learn from the Experience: In future group projects, it might be helpful to establish clear roles and deadlines early on and check-in regularly to ensure everyone is on track.

    Good luck with your presentation! You’ve got this.
