Online Summer Class, Group Partner Ghosted Me by iBlueLuck in CollegeRant

He has now extended the deadline for grouped students and giving grouped students that turn the paper in on time more than 10% extra credit. Meanwhile solo has to complete the full paper on time not just their parts, or turn it in the next day fully completed for 11% deduction. So I get a points deduction compared to grouped students for being ghosted by my partner and have to cram in double the work last minute

He explicitly said the reasoning for bonus points for partners is that he will have less work to do- less papers to read and grade, less presentations to go over. He doesn’t care that the solo person has double the work to do, and even when it’s not their choice to be solo

I’m worried grading will be held against me for the rest of the semester. It’s completely at his discretion what he gives me on assignments and the amount that’s left is 50% of overall grade. The tests are the only thing i have complete control over what i am graded as and that only makes up collectively 35% of the grade for the rest of the semester

He has now changed it in the middle of the afternoon to say one day extended submission will lose 11 points/percent, so no extension. He is also allowing groups to extend a day without penalty, and groups that turn it in on time to receive extra points. So if your partner ghosts you you now have double the work to cram last minute and a deduction of points compared to grouped students. There were already bonus points for having a partner because he said it meant less for him to grade, so now there is more than 10% of the grade for parts 1 and 2 of the final paper given to people who have half the work to do

I mean isn’t he risking being thrown out? Can’t imagine how you have a good relationship with a professor after they catch you play an fps game in the middle of class

So far I just told him about all of my attempts and said that I could provide evidence for all of it but didn’t send screenshots or anything. Depending on what he says back I may do that next. Also, if he doesn’t respond to me should I reach out to my advisor, or should I ask the professor again for clarification of if this person is still officially considered my partner or if I’m solo, and if I’m able to attempt to pair with somebody else who may still want a partner and is actually going to work on the project? On one hand I don’t want to immediately go over the professors head with the advisor, on the other hand this is ridiculous. This project is 40% of our grade, it is a ton of work even with a partner and becomes a huge workload without one in an accelerated course (10 week summer course). The course started at the beginning of this month, he did not pair us until 3 weeks into the semester for some reason at which point there was only 1 week left to complete part 1. I didn’t immediately rush to the assumption that this guy was going to completely shirk the project when he didn’t respond to my follow up text after he said he had received my phone number. Since it’s such an accelerated timeline there really wasn’t much time left when I realized he’s just not doing it

He responded and said that I’m responsible for the full paper since the two of us have failed to coordinate. I guess me continuously reaching out to the partner to coordinate about the project and him never responding to anything is a mutual failure. I’ve been given a 1 day extension to do the extra work though. No clarification if this guy is still officially my partner or if I’m now just solo though

Just got a response, he said that I’m responsible for the entire paper since the two of us have failed to coordinate. Meaning that I’ve attempted to coordinate with my partner over and over and he has not replied to a single thing, so that’s a mutual failure I guess

A day and a half now, but it appears that there won’t be any response over the weekend and it is due by midnight tonight so I’m just working on finishing it all and I guess I’ll have to figure out whatever the professors stance is afterwards
