A student on a team project notices another member has done no work. The student tells the whole group in a message that the member is lazy, without speaking to them first. How appropriate is this action?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Inappropriate, though not disastrous
- Step 1: The concern is legitimate, but the way it is raised is unfair and unlikely to help. Step 2. Speaking privately with the member first, then involving the tutor if needed, would be better. Answer: Inappropriate, though not disastrous. Why not the others: The motive is fair so it is not 'very inappropriate'; the public accusation is more than 'not the best response' because it skips a private conversation.
