being partners with your friend in class

Starting university, group work is one of those areas tend to be the most frustrating and most stressful period in life. I tend to just work with random people, and mix the group with a few friends and a few new people. I guess I was lucky that everyone worked well together and we now stick together all the time during group with. But the most important thing is that you should talk about having roles and responsibilities early on so that everyone is clear about having to put in their fair share of work into the group work. Also when things aren't working or you clearly see that people are slacking off, you must do something about it. Talking through calmly is the most useful thing to do and do not get into a heated argument trying to resolve the situation. I've seen this happen and all it ever does is leads to greater conflict within the group.

Sometimes it's better not to do things with your friends. I know people who are friends that can't live together because it would drive them mad! I have a friend who no longer speaks to a girl she was friends with after they lived together for the summer...i think you should just go up to your friend and ask if she can forget about the whole project thing, and than if she agrees make a pact to NEVER to projects together again!

yes partners are developed by instinct ,,but its upto us inwhat way we see it ..as a collegue or a partner

I've always been partners with my friends in class projects. I never had that problem. I think the only thing wrong is the blaming. Fine, both of you talked a lot. It took both of you, so it's not the fault of only one. Just work it out with your friend. Apologize. Sometimes, we have to make the first move or else nothing will happen. Maybe make something special for her (is it a her? I'm just assuming here). I know it's really difficult. I've fought with my best friend before and it's really not easy to say sorry. But if you really love your friend, you will do it, and she will do anything to have you back too, if she really loves you. I'm really sorry for being preachy... But I guess next time, when it's a week before deadline, start getting serious already. I've experienced a lot of last minute project-doing too, and it's really hard, but we've always managed to finish it. Segregate the work. Work on half as you friend works on the other half. It cuts the work time in half. Good luck :) I hope you patch it up with your friend right away. :)

Hello mate, if your friendship is as good as you say this will not make any diffrence at all, if it does then maybe just maybe you guys was not as tight as you thought and its for the best. real frineds overcome all sorts of things and I am syre you will do the same. good luck

Perhaps something you could not understand now.Time will tell you all things.

oh no, i hate when this happens, it happened to me a while back with a friend, we sort of blamed each other for not being able to have it done, but we were still friends but didnt seem as close. just try keep talking to her and hope she comes around. try and move on and forget about the project.

WEll I think its not only your mistake she is equally responsible for this mess..!! But you go upto her and say sorry because you don't get good friends very easily ..!! Don't let her go just becasue fo one project..!! All its need a little compromise thing. Stay happy an cheer up girl...!

FRIENDS.....they would never ever ignore friends no matter what happened... how it happenned when it happenned where it happenned You should go back to your study. Do the best you can Try not to think of her and the whole thing that happenned I know I know... it's not easy as I said but after you get over it you will be so proud of yourself that you can pass such bad experience in your life Dont regret things turn out bad Learn from it and Make it better Cheers

Time will heal all wounds. For better or for worse, you two still have to talk to each other, I mean you guys still have to get the project DONE! if she don't talk to you, give her the cold shoulders too. Urgency will occur when the project reaches its deadline

actually partners are developed in the work environment automatically when we work together ..but its a matter of whether we acknowdelge it as a partner or jus a collegue...

Be patient is mostly what I would say. If you have access to her email, it would probably be best to email your thoughts and feelings to her, give her the chance to read it and absorb it and if nothing happens, then you have to think that she wasn't a very good friend to begin with if she has no forgiveness in her heart. She has to understand you were not at complete fault for the bad grade. She had her hand in it too. It could be that she is feeling guilt and is angry at herself for not finishing the project as well. So, just give it time.

wow...I'm actually in the same situation. it was a friend as well. things didnt work out for our project...because like he said..."were irresponsible" after that, I just felt awkward towards him. He ignores me and I could just feel the difference in our friendship. well, slowly, were patching things up. Well, I'm trying...but things are definitely not the same. Just don't give up. If you really want your friend back..

Best way is to give a sympathy letter to her or if you have email id you can send a online greeting card to her email-id. This method worked for me. So Try this method and response me. Please send me message if it is worked or not....
