In our first week of semester two, our new modules started. We were informed about all upcoming assignments/group work by our lecturers. In week one, our lecturer read out the names of each group. She gave everyone the same task with the same deadline. The task was all groups needed to decide whose doing what, then come up with a deadline for each week, we had to use our independent study time to get the deadline met. We also had to do group meetings outside of university.
I live in the Cotsworld and spend typically two hours on public transport getting to and from university. When we had group meetings they would cancel halfway whilst I'm on the train which cost me money. Today was our final assessment deadline, we've finished two weeks earlier then most courses. The lecturer who teaches the module happens to be my academic advisor.
The group presentation went horribly wrong, we all messed up. I do admit I made mistakes. I thought I'd only have to know about my bit as I be talking about the work I did but she told me in a meeting that already was arranged for today that everyone was supposed to know the whole group presentation.
At the end of our group presentation whilst other groups prepared for theirs I heard two members in our group go to others and moan about me saying it's all my fault and I didn't prepare enough for this. This upset me, I spent a lot of time preparing for my tasks, I showed my academic advisor my notebooks and my documents during the tutorial. I'm just upset and I'm questioning if university is for me. I've used my gift year, I've had the worst final day. Sorry for the negatives.
