been there, done that

You shouldve just started. They ought to fail, you just joined them.

I think OP ment he need to present the project.

If they didn't help you throw them all under the bus to the teacher. Seriously. Let the little pricks be mad. Being popular while still in school isn't worth failing. In a few years you'll hardly see any of them again anyway so who cares if they hate you.

I hate group project... Was taking a class on Equine Show management and was assigned to do a breed/ breed show presentation with this girl. She chose the breed. I looked up all the specifics, rules, and regulations of that breed and its shows. I put together the whole presentation. When it was time to present, she didnt show. I presented alone, told my professors how she did NONE of the work... She received a zero while I got a B. Needless to say, I prefer to work alone on projects.

that sh*t happens to me all the time I hate it! I feel for you man

I've been in a completely opposite situation. My partner told me she would do all of the work and I only had to put my name on it. While that seems like a dream come true it isn't. Whatever grade she made I was stuck with. OP could have done all the work and made sure to note the partners did none. Though I don't know if its the kind of thing they would still be in trouble for no matter what.

I would have just taken it upon myself. its crap but it's better than failing.

THANKS Obama!

There's ALWAYS someone that'll find enough excuses to not do shit during a group project. I'm sorry you had to suffer because of their actions!
