So uh... Can I get some opinions on a situation?
So for one of my programming classes we were paired up and given a week to do an assignment together. I worked with this partner on the previous assignment as well and ended up having to do most of the work, but whatever. I figured this was gonna end up being the same situation, and it has been.
HOWEVER, this time around I ran into an issue that would’ve been a pain to debug on my own computer. I don’t live on campus so I don’t have access to any of the computers at school right now, and I really didn’t want to dig out my laptop and set it up with the stuff i’d need... So I sent my partner a text that basically said “Hey, ive got most of the project for tomorrow done already, but could you real quick try running this code for me and tell me if it actually works or not? And if it doesn’t can you just send me the error it gives you?” Like thats seriously all I wanted. Its at most like a 2 minute task.
Im used to people being lazy about doing stuff and leeching work off me, and honestly half-expected him to just not respond (which would have been annoying but it happens all the time so whatever), but this dude, no joke, messages back telling me to “shut the fuck up and leave him alone about school shit.”
So uh... thats a first?
Managed to figure it out on my own and ive got everything mostly done at this point, and i’m gonna be handing it in for tomorrow... but im really tempted to email my professor and let him know because i’ll be damned if someones gonna get credit for not only doing nothing but also being an ass towards me?? At the same time though, im hyper-empathetic and tend to overthink things so idk if the dudes got like a personal/family emergency that came up suddenly and I was just messaging him at a really bad time. So like... What do you guys think I should do?
