I think the portfolio is where our group experienced the most issues. We unfortanately had less days in person due to hurricane days, so our group had to do work at home, which was previously stated. When Thanksgiving break started, we only had the outline of the story along with the storyboard done. I have issues with group work out of fear of others not getting their work done, so when we went into break with very little done, I was worried. I created a group chat for us on the Tuesday and assigned everyone to certain parts of the project to complete. Below is who I assigned to what.
While I'm the editor and most of my work should be done in post, since we were 4 days into break without hearing anything from anyone I felt the need to put out a schedule so we'd have the work done in time. I mainly structured this because I knew Kim left for a field trip Sunday morning, so I wanted her work sent to us and reviewed before she went away. I thought since I know Bella and Kim had a history of being bad with deadlines, I kept their work to a minimum and I gave them both only one page to do while splitting the rest between me and Brendan would be the best course of action.
The problem was, Friday rolled around and only myself in the group chat had said I finished my part, so I sent another message asking how it's going and got no response. Then it was Monday, Kim is still on her field trip and I'm in study hall with Brendan and he tells me he still only has my work, both Kim and Bella hadn't sent in their work. This is exactly what I wanted to avoid and I was quite honestly frustrated because I felt like I gave them the bare minimum and took all the actions I needed to. Below are the texts I sent to Kim and Bella about their work.
Kim ended up submitting her part in late and Bella had sent Brendan her work the next period, but it was frustrating when I made a schedule that revolved around making things easy for the both of them and they still waited until the very last moment.
