EDIT: Some of you may know about passive and active voice. University papers should always be written in active voice. If I have to edit 5 more pages of nothing but passive voice, I'm going to go insane... |
Not always, in engineering passive is standard. You'd never (ever, ever, ever, ever) use "I" in a thesis or report for example. |

you aren't so mature and that aware if you only came to realize the issue now ....
You made no mention of a deadline but from the looks of it, it appears as if it may not be far off.
Should have anticipated issues, taken control early, had group meetups, at least something to organize a semblance of coherence in your work as a whole.
Sucks to be you. |

I've got the perfect paper on Noam Chomsky:
On Noam Chomsky
by Marcus Lira
Avram Noam Chomsky (born December 7, 1928), is an American linguist that really (really!) needs a bloody pseudonym. Seriously, every God damn time I hear a non-linguist talk about Chomsky I'm like Wow, you know generative grammar and stuff? , and turns out the person just read (one of) his books about politics.
Seriously, I know you've got these anarchist ideas and all but... if you're reading this, please accept the idea that you're a committee rather than just a person. There are so many cool names you can come up with, like "Anarchin Skywalker" (for your work in Politics) "Noam Kunnin" (for your work in Linguistics).
Huh? |

I'm sure that works well for a good grade. |
For the most part, if they ask for the lot to get in their own groups, I abstain and the teacher just shrugs it off.

Me: off
Professor: your grade |
worked out for the best (for me) in high school). Joined an independent studies program and didn't have to deal with the high density of wanker saturation. |

I always hated it, and if u can get away from it, your lucky. My professors always made us do it every now and then. If you didn't, u lost a letter grade. We always liked it since everyones grades were better! |

Uh, we did. We've worked on it for the past 3 weeks.
Turned it in 5 hours ago. I'm expecting a good grade. We did everything that was asked in the syllabus.
I'm a stickler on writing style, so if you're working with me, and you can't write a sentence without having 3 or 4 commas in every PASSIVE sentence with run ons and missing words, you shouldn't be in university. |

| I find that doing anything 'groupwork'-wise in school, whether it be project, speech, or paper, almost always ends up being a chap in the ass because theres always that one dude or girl who doesnt talk and therefore doesnt wanna do and provides absolutely nothing constructive to whatever needs to be done. |

Sorry but have to do this because you're getting so worried about it. But that is a seriously long sentence!!! :p

And as I said before passive is the correct form for science based submissions. |
