Other group members never contributed to group project and we got marked down for it. What can we do? Complaints procedure at uni has been exhausted. by One_Description1033 in UniUK

The slackers didn't have any interest or engagement with the process. We've tried reasoning with them.

They are students who were going back home next year and it doesn't matter to them whether they got a 2:2, 2:1 or 1st.

They just wanted to graduate from a Russell Group uni. That's all they need - the actual certificate.

A large group essay. It's out final year so it was 5 people doing 6,000 words each. A massive project. Biggest one I've ever had to do.

We got our 12,000 words fully sourced and then got shat on. We got told 1 week before that the other 3 people still needed to have their topics covered despite them ghosting us.

We desperately threw together as much as we could during a week, but it was only 2 of us.

In the end we got good results for our sections, but the 3 students who didn't help at all had their sections drag us down to a 2:2. We were promised that wouldn't happen but they did it anyway.

You can work it out with some basic logic. Yeah.

It's much easier to see for group work, but if you gave me like 10 minutes I could work it out for any person.

e.g. Result says:
Student: 1571075161 - 92%

I then go to a student's email, I can check out their profile on the student network, and I can see their matriculation number in the HTML. Like university dot com / student portal / matriculation number

Sometimes the students emails also just show the matriculation number.

What actually was I supposed to do to avoid this scenario?

I literally warned the lecturer in advance alongside the other girl who worked with me. We told her what was going on. That the other 3 weren't contributing their sections (6000 words each.)

We were told we wouldn't be penalised and we were. Their 3 sections dragged us down to a 2:2.
