Top 10 School Group Project Member Stereotypes
School projects, ugh everyone has to do them at some point. You either love or hate them. Personally I’m in the hate category but here’s people in your group that can grind your gears sometimes
You know this person. He barely shows up and barely participates in class at all. He just so happens to be in your group and doesn't even bother making eye contact or any social interaction whatsoever. He has an F in the class yet he'll just so happen to get an A on the project because logic.
In a 4-person group, there will always be 3 who slap their names on the project but do none of the work.
You know these people. They're normally in the back of the class without any real friends in the class, so they're just stuck with whoever's left. Just luck of the draw.
Yeah, when these people are in your group, good luck because they won't do anything and need the teacher by their side at all times. That won't happen. Just have fun.
I never know what I'm doing. I just do whatever I think is correct and hope for the best.
This person is the MVP of your team and yet misses the presentation because of a doctor's appointment, getting sick, or whatever. This means you're forced to wing it and hope for the best. In sports, this is the equivalent of LeBron James carrying your team to the finals but not playing in the Finals.
Had a guy like this in English class. Not class president, though. Just self-centered and couldn't handle criticism. He didn't do any actual work. Instead, he liked to boss us around and criticize our contributions because they were "not good enough for him." When we called him out for not doing any actual work, he was furious and started to blame us.
We told the teacher about this, and he ended up having to do a separate assignment. We got to work on our project without him! We got an A, and now he's somebody we joke about.
This group doesn't use class time to work on stuff. Instead, they do it all outside of class and put it together the day of the presentations. It works, but it's very risky to pull off.
Basically most people in my class.
Some call him lucky, but either way, the teacher is strict on groups of 3 or 4. There are more guy friends, so one guy has to take one for the team because there's a group that needs one more person.
Oof, this happens to me a lot because the teacher never trusts me with my friends.
The socializer of the class. This person has friends in every other group and, instead of being with their own group, talks with their friends about weekend plans.
This person will stop at nothing to ensure the project is perfect. Every single word, sentence, picture, graph, etc., has to line up and be perfect. Anything less than a 99.9999% is unacceptable, and the project is a failure.
