We have a class group project due this Thursday with randomly assigned group members. Emma emailed each of us to get our contact info 2 weeks ago. Then we didn’t have any discussion about the project until I sent that text Monday. We have all the same classes from Tuesday-Thursday (attendance is mandatory in all) except the Monday class which Caleb is not in, Lily was absent, and I’m not sure if Emma is in the class. I had spoken to Lily before and noticed she was often absent. The first few classes she had a friend to sit with who I now assume to be Emma, but Emma also appeared to be often absent as well. On Tuesday, I spoke to Caleb in class and mentioned I’d try to contact everyone in next class because they were absent. On Wednesday and Thursday it was the same issue and I spoke to Caleb each time to tell him. I spoke on Thursday to the professor about how Emma seems to be MIA since she did not respond to the 2:30pm meeting time. He said that she’s been absent often, that he’s emailed her and gotten no response, and that if needed we can complete the project as a trio. This argument was insane to me, and I understand that my texts came off passive aggressive, but I truly was frustrated. The FaceTime thing, I believe was very out of pocket and strange behavior. So I can understand Emma and Lily getting upset, but they could have sent any type of text explaining they had issues going on in their personal lives but that they were definitely planning to complete the project and would get in touch (it seems like they’re having similar issues in the texts, I had no idea they even knew each other). Also, Emma saying that I can choose subtopics is irrelevant since the subtopics are already chosen, we just need a main topic and to choose which parts of the template we want. But even for the 7pm meeting time, they sent one text and didn’t reply until at least 15 minutes later, causing me confusion and more aggravation. They didn’t even suggest any other time to meet. I’m kind of just seeking validation and assurance that I should explain the situation to my professor in person, who Caleb emailed to explain the situation about after the argument occurred, emphasizing that they were being unresponsive and argumentative towards me. I had messaged Lily separately to confirm if she was ok working with Emma on her own, still not realizing they were friends and Caleb decided we should go solo before she texted back individually.
