The Worst Group Experience: My Worst Team Experience

The worst team experience here was in my physics class. We had about a month to put together a small project, and roughly a week in I started trying to send messages to the other members of the team. They never replied. Emails were ignored, elms messages never got a response, and we had a groupme where the only 7 messages were mine. A week before the project was due I went to the professor, and was told to keep trying. That most students wait a long time before starting.

It is difficult to describe this team because my only interaction was the day the assignments were given, and the day of the presentation. All of that was me telling them the lines, and them memorizing what to say. The task was incredibly simple, we had to give a demonstration of kinetic energy converting into heat energy, and give a rough calculation of the change in temperature. Management of the team is also impossible to talk about. I tried communicating and
