Uneven Task Split
The situation
You are in a four-person group project. The leader has assigned you three of the five report sections while others have one each. You also have two other assignments due the same week. Speak to the group leader after your meeting: explain your concern, suggest a fairer split, and ask them to update the plan.
Model answer
Hey, before you head off, can we talk about the task list? I noticed I've been given three of the five sections, the literature review, methods and discussion, while everyone else has one. I'm happy to pull my weight, but I've also got two other assignments due the same week, so I'm worried the quality would suffer. Could we rebalance it? For example, I could do the literature review and discussion, and someone else could take methods. If that sounds fair, could you update the shared plan tonight? Thanks.
