In this compelling story, a Redditor shared his unforgettable experience during a university group work project that tested his skills, patience, and determination. The story revolves around his computer science degree at university and the challenges he faced in a two-stage group work project. The story explores the ups and downs of collaboration, the importance of taking ownership of one’s work, and the triumph of justice over intellectual dishonesty.
The post begins by detailing the structure of the university group project. Part A involved developing an application and writing a report, while Part B required improving upon the initial work. The project carried significant weight, accounting for 100% of a module grade.
The next section explores how groups were formed randomly, leading to OP’s association with four other students. Each member chose specific tasks, and OP was designated the primary coder due to his confidence in programming.
1. OP did a computer science degree at university and he had a group project which was set out in two stages
2. OP was in a randomly selected group with 4 other students
3. OP says that he was the group’s most confident coder so he assigned himself about half of the code
4. Soon after OP finished his work the others asked OP if he could do their parts of the code as well
5. OP contacted his module organiser explaining that he had done half the work
6. Then OP got asked to do some report too because they didn’t understand how the code worked
7. OP had done the workload of 3 people!
8. OP’s module organizer emailed OP asking if he had any proof of this
9. OP emailed him back linking him to the GitHub he used to share the code with the team
10. He added it all up and made a special exception for OP’s group
11. OP messed up a bit on the code and only got about 50% of the marks
12. When others found out their marks they started calling, emailing, and messaging OP almost for about 3 hours
13. OP screenshotted all the messages they had sent and recorded all the voicemails including the ones they had sent previously
14. OP sends all the voicemails and screenshots to his module organizer!
15. At this point OP decided to quit the group and then he decided to work on part B by himself
16. OP fixed the error in the code in about 2 weeks
17. OP ended up submitting 2 weeks early for the deadline and got 100% on the whole section 2
18. OP emailed his module organizer asking him if he supports him in this
19. OP turned up to the meeting there was the VP of computing there
20. OP was asked to hang up as he was no longer involved
21. It turned out they had cloned one of OP’s commits and still had a copy on their laptop
22. One of OP’s friends who is also friends with one from the old group asked what grade they got and they said that they failed!
23. Here is a TL: DR for those who are too lazy to read the whole thing
24. OP thanks everyone for their comments
25. Always save the evidence
26. This is what happened at this Redditor’s university if someone plagiarized anyone’s work
27. OP also did post this on pro revenge but it got removed within a few hours
