Group Project Participation Unaffected by Online Shift
This past month, Texas A&M University moved all classes to an online format until August due to the spread of COVID-19. While many aspects of the traditional face-to-face lecture format are expected to change as instructors modify curriculum and coursework, it is expected that group project participation will not be affected.
In many courses, group projects are assigned to teach students collaborative skills and task delegation. More commonly, group projects devolve into anarcho-primitivistic chaos in which one member attempts to complete the entire project while the others present meaningful excuses as to why they could not complete their assigned work. While the inability to interact in person might be expected to decrease group project productivity, experts predict that there will be no change.
“I’m so glad that we shifted to the online format,” said senior industrial engineering major Dean Jameson. “It was getting really inconvenient to avoid the other group members on campus or in town when I said I had a doctor’s appointment or something.” No longer facing the threat of getting caught in a lie, Jameson told The Mugdown that he looks forward to shirking all of his responsibilities onto group members with flagrant disregard for any consequences the group may face as a result.

You may have seen her skulking around campus in a beige trenchcoat, waiting for the perfect moment to reveal her ass to unsuspecting students. An exhibitionist at heart, she’s been arrested for streaking fifteen times since 2012. UPD is aware of her presence and is doing their best to keep her away from sporting events, graduations, and the background of promotional materials. You can often find her doing squats at the Rec. If you ask politely, she might just show you her assets.
