Study Reveals 90% of Group Project Work Done by One Sad Student

Groundbreaking research by the University of Chicago has confirmed that, as is tradition, one member of the group project inevitably ends up doing 90% of the work. 

Researchers found that the rest of the students’ contributions were limited to the following: suggesting a font, putting their names on the title page, and adding a slide at the end of the presentation that reads “Thanks for watching.” 

“I knew it!” said third-year student Audrey Smith. Her group member, Brian, was unavailable for comment because he was busy playing Brawl Stars. 

Professor Jeremiah Bauble defended group projects, saying that they “prepare students for the real world.” 

The research team has yet to find a workplace in which five employees are randomly assigned to complete a major project, and then four of them disappear. 

Further research on this topic has been derailed ever since the lead scientist quit in frustration after doing 90% of the work.
