Chapter 214 Group Assignment
It can be said that the courses in Zhang Wei's major are almost pure science. The courses are still various types of chemistry: organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, various types of biology: physiology, pharmacology, anatomy, and pharmaceutical-related professional courses: in vivo drug analysis, pharmacy, biopharmaceutics, etc.
Anyway, it is equivalent to the refinement of several high school courses plus the professional knowledge of pharmacy, so most of the classes and homework are done in the laboratory.
It can be said that their laboratory is a place where people spend more time than in ordinary classrooms. Moreover, Magdalen College is one of the richest colleges. Zhang Wei has his own laboratory table in every major class.
This means that she does not need to share equipment with anyone. Everyone in the class has their own laboratory bench, and biology and chemistry classes have different laboratories.
So Zhang Wei didn't understand why the teacher was keen on having students work in groups to complete homework. She really didn't like others disrupting her learning rhythm.
She felt a little upset when she thought about having to look at what other people had done in order to complete her own homework, and that she could only show the teacher a quarter of it.
So when the other three people in her group were discussing how to divide the assignment:
"I think I'll do the statistics and data analysis. I'm good at summarizing."
Zhang Wei: I can do this too. I will just copy the result.
"Great! No one's competing with me for lab report submissions now! I'm sure you can see I'm very expressive!"
Zhang Wei: Your big buck teeth and thick lips do look expressive if your saliva doesn't spray so far.
“Then I will record the experimental process.”
Zhang Wei: Do you need to record this? Isn't it in the book?
The three boys finished their work and looked at Zhang Wei, who had been silent the whole time. Seeing that she didn't say anything, Big Teeth spoke up:
"Vera, I'll leave the rest of the experiment to you. Remember to do it several times to maintain accuracy."
"Yes, remember to send me the experimental results four days in advance so that I can complete them as soon as possible and hand them over to the final spokesperson." The man with freckles and glasses also spoke.
Zhang Wei couldn't help but sneer and said, "Thank you for giving me three days out of the week."
The three boys could hear the dissatisfaction in her tone, but they didn't care. The boy, Min, who also had an Asian face, said to Zhang Wei:
"Forget it, let's just leave it like this for now. Let's go, the other groups have already left."
Zhang Wei just felt that she was really unlucky to have met three scheming male bitches at the same time. She slammed the table with a "bang" and the three men were stunned.
Zhang Weicai continued:
"If I'm a member of this group, why don't I have the right to express my opinion? If I'm not a member of the group, why should I undertake the complicated and difficult experimental process?"
Then he pointed at the big buck teeth and said, "Didn't you say you were very expressive? Well, I've performed at the most famous opera house in London."
Then he looked at the man with freckles and glasses and said, "You mean you are good at statistics and data analysis? Sorry, I was on the reserve team for the International Mathematical Olympiad."
Finally, he said to Min in a mocking tone: "As for writing the experimental process, isn't it enough to have hands?"
Seeing that Zhang Wei had pointed out their little thoughts directly, the three of them showed a rare look of embarrassment on their faces.
Freckles pushed his glasses up on his nose and said uncomfortably:
"I didn't think so much just now—"
Before he could finish his words, Big Teeth said, "Oh, girls just love to argue. It's okay, it's okay. Let's change next time!"
Zhang Wei immediately said, "You don't care about arguments, right? Then you do the experiment this time and I'll be the spokesperson."
"I have an important date this week~" He said this from his thick lips and winked playfully.
Zhang Wei looked at his round belly, dark fat face, and big front teeth. It was really an eyesore and he felt sick for his date.
"You are not the only thing that matters in this world! If you don't understand, let me say it again: the world does not revolve around you!"
Seeing Zhang Wei's tough attitude, the man with freckles and the Asian man Min put aside their lazy thoughts. Fearing that the two would fight, they hurriedly tried to persuade them:
"Okay, it's our fault for not asking for your opinion. How about you talk about it and we'll cooperate?"
Zhang Wei glanced at Big Teeth, who snorted and rolled his eyes, agreeing with the statement.
Zhang Wei didn't mean to make things difficult for them, but their first group assignment turned out like this. In the future, she would probably be the only one doing the work while four others would get A's. She felt like vomiting just thinking about it.
"Two people do the experiment, one writes the lab report, and one acts as a spokesperson,"
"When two people conduct an experiment, everyone knows that repeating the experiment several times ensures the stability of the results. Also, let me make it clear in advance that if our group receives a low score due to the lack of a spokesperson, we will be permanently disqualified from this position."
"This allocation—"
"Draw lots!" Zhang Wei came up with an absolutely fair and panacea method.
Everyone agreed with this. In the end, Zhang Wei was chosen to write the experimental report. Jimmy with big buck teeth was unlucky but still got to do the experiment. Another person who did the experiment was the one with freckles and glasses. Asian Min was chosen to be the spokesperson.
In fact, no matter which part Zhang Wei was selected, she would complete the entire assignment carefully. She did not trust these unfamiliar classmates very much. After all, they really gave her a very bad first impression.
However, five days later, Jimmy, who submitted his results late, sent her the experimental results. She compared the results submitted by the two people and found that Jimmy had only slightly changed a few data on the freckles result, so it should not have been done by her.
But their results were almost the same as Zhang Wei's own, so Zhang Wei didn't care. At least one of them was useful. She was not a teacher, and she was not responsible for disciplining students.
After completing the lab report, she immediately sent it to Min. After all, he needed to spend some time familiarizing himself with the content first.
On the day of the report, there were four groups in their class, but only two completed the report, and one group was even stuttering.
The two groups that made mistakes were: one group forgot to bring the experimental report and went out to find a printer during class; the other group's spokesperson took his own group's experimental report and criticized it, saying that there were problems with the experimental data and refused to continue speaking.
Min's speech was very fluent. He remembered all the key points in Zhang Wei's experimental report. It seemed that he spent time on it.
Without exception, everyone in Zhang Wei's group got the only A.
Seeing the smug Jimmy, Zhang Wei said to him after class:
"I hope you'll have this kind of luck next time!"
Seeing that his laughter was choked, Zhang Wei left with satisfaction.
Zhang Wei felt that the teacher was quite happy to see such a chaotic group report class. It was really funny to see normal students being driven into autism by weirdos.
This is probably the biggest function of group assignments: it allows you to learn how to get along with weirdos in your future studies and work, and to exercise your patience.
