What was this about

[tsekaty]

So I was taking this undergrad class just for fun since my fav prof was teaching it. Recently we got the group assignment back and it was low 70s! He asked if there was lack of communication within the group and I told him that we divided up the parts but this group member edit everything at last minute. He didn't look pleased and asked me "is this going to affect you?". He later had this serious look and even pouted his lips. I didn't get what that meant. Few minutes later, he was talking to this other girl (not from my group) and myself about how "no one can/is perfect" and he was looking straight at me.

What did his question meant? And was he disappointed? Ive taken other classes before with him and made good marks.

It's really hard to say!

Sometimes academics just look grumpy when (i) they are maybe transiently unhappy but in half an hour they'll forget about the whole thing (ii) they're thinking about something else entirely (maybe they had trouble getting a parking spot this morning, or didn't have time to drink that mug of coffee they wanted).

I wouldn't stress about this. If you have another group assignment for this course then I'd make sure that the editing gets done in good time (maybe have a different group members double-check the edited document before it is submitted).

I guess I will try not to think about it. Thanks  Happy Holidays!

I would say, if you are a grad student in an undergraduate class, that choosing to let another group member do final edits, and admitting it, may have disappointed him
