Case Study 4

Yvonne's design class involves a group project that is worth 55% of the grade. Yvonne just started dating and is really caught up in the excitement of a new infatuation. On top of that she has to work 20 hours a week to help pay her rent. She is frustrated at having to make time to meet with the group. She goes to the first meeting and after the first hour feels that the group isn't making much progress, so she suggests that they divide up the tasks and then meet in a week leaving them a day to "paste" all the parts together into the final project. The group agrees to the plan. The only problem is that Yvonne doesn't feel like doing her part of the project so she keeps putting it off. The night before the final group meeting, Yvonne still hasn't started her part of the assignment.
