First year introduction to Humanities course. We are assigned groups with a final project very early on in the semester. Pretty much no one shows up to work on the project except the last week or so. At least they do show up and finish the project.

One person does not respond the entire semester then shows up the last day expecting some degree of credit. They did literally nothing. They claim someone died in their family and they have been broken up all semester… I tell them that they could have told us five months ago. They should speak to the Professor if that is legitimate not make us hide their lack of participation for them.
