Today, after working all week on a group project, I realized I forgot to submit the assignment and missed the deadline. I now have to tell my group that we automatically failed. FML

FYI it was an honest mistake and the paper was only turned in 8 minutes late...after some frantic talks with my teacher she agreed not to penalize my group and just deduct points from me. Lesson learned!!

Through what stroke of genius did the group put you in charge of the final submission?

Don't let your group suffer. Admit fault to your teacher/professor. It was your fault it wasn't submitted, not theirs, don't bring them down with you.

This is why I hate group projects

*gasps* I would destroy you! And this is why I never rely on anyone but myself for those types of projects. It's supposed to teach your how to work in a team and everything, but what it has taught me in all my school and university years is that people are not reliable.

Can't you lie and blame the internet? Assuming you had to submit it electronically...

Yes, because that's the responsible way to handle this situation.

I dreaded group projects as I was growing, and now I'm ever so thankful that I don't have to do them anymore in college (illustration tends to be a pretty solitary trade). One of the moments that pissed me off the most was back in high school, and my final exam for PE class was a group project where two of my classmates and I had to make a choreography and dance in front of the teacher; I'm not good at dancing, but I worked hard to elaborate a good choreography for three people since the grade was pretty important. However, one of the girls NEVER showed up for practice, and I started to get nervous since the exam was coming quickly and we didn't have a

OOPS, I pressed tab too quickly! Well, I ended up confronting the girl who never showed up for practice a week and a half before the exam, and she told she never came because in reality she decided to do someone else's project! When I asked her why she didn't tell me before, her answer was " 'cause I didn't want you to be mad!". I had to redo my whole project and ended up having a shitty grade because the final product was horrible. The girl who ditched me then got surprised I never wanted to talk to her again.

I had a similar situation in college for my Senior Project. First, I had agreed to partner with someone on the project; we met during summer to discuss working on it, and agreed to start working on it in fall. When I tried to set up a meeting with him to plan out the work, he tells me "oh, I decided to work on something else instead". Then later in the semester while I was working on my project, a friend of mine offered to create some of the art assets for it. He told me he'd have the first batch ready in a month. Then he needed another week, then another, finally

This is why people fail at life. I hope your group teaches you how to remember stuff.

You now have absolutely nothing to lose as your peers are inevitably going to hate you, so you should probably just lie and say you submitted it in order to buy some time to go and beg your teacher for mercy and see where that gets you.

I had a group member screw me over like this in college. At least our professor was understanding and allowed me and the 3rd partner to submit our portions individually and still gave us a fair grade on those. Hopefully your professor is similarly generous with your group members. But you, OP, you deserve that zero.
