My best friend and I are working on a project due in our history class, and we're going to be presenting on either Monday or Tuesday.
It's a split project between two people with one doing a PowerPoint and one doing a poster. She did the poster, and I did the powerpoint. Here's the issue: the powerpoint, in my opinion, was a bigger part of the project because we needed more information on it. I have all my notecards laid out, and all my information ready. She told me Friday, at practically the last minute, that SHE wanted to present part of it with me. She had told me earlier that she wanted to present the poster, and I was fine with it. I have a problem with her taking the credit for all the hard work I did and wanting to present it when she doesn't know half of what I researched. She ALSO tells me at the last minute that she doesn't know what she is going to say about the poster. Is my reasoning correct on this problem? I want to present what I worked hard on, and I don't want her to act like she did the research as well. |

what's kind of dumb of her. would you be presenting part of the poster with her, or would she do part of powerpoint + whole poster?
maybe she's worried that it'll seem like she didn't do too much work if she only presented on the poster and wants in on some powerpoint? just tell her not to bother learning stuff on the powerpoint (because you already know the stuff) and concentrate on making the poster presentation perfect. make it seem like you're saving her the trouble of learning the powerpoint info. |
