So I have a member in my group who is also my friend (we kinda formed a friendship once our group met for the first time because we're the only 2 girls in our group).

She said she'd call me about our project between this past Friday and Saturday and I gave her a specific time I'm comfortable with on Saturday.

She never called me over that time, so I called her. She didn't pick up and I didn't leave a voicemail because there wasn't an option to when I called her. This was on Saturday. And a couple of hours after I attempted the call, I left her a text saying she can call me over another block of time I specified.

That never happened.

I gave her all of yesterday and now all of today too and she isn't responding!

& I just left her a lighthearted/joking text message, asking if she's still there, just a couple of hours or so today.

& She's only contributed to our group ONCE!!!

& Her class attendance has been shaky too so I don't know if she's going to be there tomorrow or not!!!

Help???
And we exchanged numbers when we started forming our friendship too! As I said, she was good for a WHILE....

is this an online class?
talk to your other group members about the problem, then maybe agree
on talking to the professor about the girl and maybe drop her from the group
may seem like a messed up thing, but she can't take credit for something
didnt really put work into :

I wouldn't be surprised if she stops contributing. One of the problems with group projects is that if even one person doesn't contribute, then the rest of the group has to work harder. It is things like group projects that made me ultimately stop caring about school.

The only thing you can do if you've given her every chance to contribute is to talk to the person who assigned the project about the girl not adding anything to the group. They will likely respond better if they themself chose the group... I've found that when the students choose the groups, that the professors tend to be less sympathetic towards inactive students. "You wanted to work with them, this is your punishment."

It's possible she has something going on in her life if she hasn't answered you, and her attendance is shaky at best. If she's a friend, keep pestering her, and try to figure out what's going on with her, since she's clearly been unable to help. She may actually have a good excuse, which could help sway the professor into not punishing you for something that is basically happenstance.

As for the project, since she's unlikely to help, the rest of the group will have to step up their game. You "may" be able to get an extension due to the circumstances, but you can't count on it. Just do your best.

Hmm... that's why I hate group projects... in that case, the only thing you could do is to do your best with the other group members to finish the project on due date, and then tell your instructor/teacher about that friend who didn't help you guys at all with the project. Maybe that'a just me, but I always tell our professors when a group member is being lazy even if that someone's a close friend of mine. So my friends know they can't be lazy when they have me with their group, no excuses.

I have had this happen to me several times. The best advice I could give you is to report him . Especially if you do the entire project yourself and he doesn't even help. Either that or just do the best you can with the other members.

Is this an online course or a regular course; it really does not matter . I would talk to the other group members. I would even e-mail the instructor and let him or her know what is going on. I had a group member like this a few times. Me and the other group members told our instructor what happened. He was so understanding we got good grades but the group member got a bad grade. If she is not answering. I hope nothing is terribly wrong. But if her attendance is shaky chances of her no showing are high. If there is something wrong she needs to let everybody know
