I'm disappointed with a grade on a group project in a math class with my partner. So for starters, our project was a Probability (that was the math topic on the project) carnival. We were tasked to make carnival games and in order for peers to play those games, they had to answer a probability question we created and then they get a shot. We got a 35 as the final grade.

So, we were the only group that was 2 people (it was supposed to be 3 people per group, but our class didn't have enough people to have all groups have 3; but now, I'm confused on why the teacher LET us be a partnership because he literally stated the total amount of people in the class was 30 people, so there could've been even groups of 3 so why did he allow a group of 2 when there was enough people for every group to have 3? No one got expelled.)

As a group of 2, our teacher recommended we MAY have had to work outside of class because we had 1 less person than everyone else. My partner was... an issue. She didn't at all help with the questions to enter our game and hardly did anything in making the actual game.

In the actual project, all she did was help paint three or four balls, and guess what? Two things. One, in order to paint, we were expected to use a drop cloth so paint doesn't get on a floor and she DIDN'T use it even though it was RIGHT next to her!

And two, when we were cleaning up, instead of either politely handing the paint to me so I can put it away or get her own ass up off the floor and put it up herself, she *threw* the paint bottle at me and I couldn't catch it in time, therefore it splattered all over the floor and she was told to clean it up. I'm actually shocked all she got was a 'Clean it up. Now.' and not any following the clean-up.

Sine we weren't allowed to take our games home while we were working on the project, this meant we had to create our game as only a partnership while everyone else were a trio.

Since my partner decided she didn't want to work on building the game anymore, I did that *every* class period and it actually sucked. I mean, it was FUNCTIONAL, but the quality is just not it for me. So, since we were also tasked by writing probability questions that will be used to enter our game, she was tasked to the 5 we had left to do because I finished the 5 I wrote. We also did do a video on how the game is played.

Here comes the part where I REALLY get upset.

After the project was over, it was revealed we got a 35 on the final grade. Why? Firstly, let's start with the game video. We literally DID it and recorded it on her school laptop. She literally DIDN'T submit it at all, and it was worth like 40 points of the entire grade, and I couldn't submit it because it was wasn't recorded on my laptop. The most part that BAFFLES me is that there were 5 new probability questions, but my PARTNER ai generated and completely disregarded the requirements of the questions we were meant to have. All she had to do write 5 experimental probability questions, pretty doable in what? 2-3 weeks of worktime on the project? Incorrect for her. That was worth HALF the points on the project because that was the part where the content was assessed to see if we understood the material. I told her to do it at home since it was the last day to work on the carnival project, and she AI generated probability questions so simple you don't need math to answer it, you just need common sense (ex. A coin is flipped. What is the probability of landing on heads?)

This is a list of things I know she did instead of helping:

1. Go to the bathroom for the majority of the class and read a BOOK in a bathroom instead of actually using it.
2. Talk to her best friend on G-Mail
3. Do literally nothing an sit there.

I only was in a group with her since everyone else already was in a group, and I received a 35 of it. It essentially felt like it was a solo project because she barely contributed anything to it. And by the way, this was a MAJOR grade, meaning getting a bad grade on one means your grade drops by a bunch of points, so pretty I'm not really the brightest in math (I have only gotten 80s or 70s this school year for math), I haven't checked yet, but I might be failing the class because of this project.

What in the world do I do?
