Ok, so in my IAG 2 class, everyone is in a group. My two of the four people are too soical for me. All they do is talk during class and make me get into the topic they are talking about and not what the class is focused on.
The other person in my group I think has the same problem. I think she's autistic too *gasp!*. We were both talking about on how the people in our group keep on making us screw up in class.
Has anyone had a problem like this?
I sort of know where you're coming from. I've been put in a group to do our latest project in English, and it's driving me mental. The people I'm in a group with are OK, but they talk amongst themselves a lot AND with other people. I don't have much in common with any of them and never know or care about who or what they're talking about so I'm often left just sitting there.
Also I can't just get on with the work as neither me nor anybody else really knows what we're meant to be doing. We've had a lot of subs and our teacher wasn't very clear.
It was really boring.
I would suggest that, when they talk to you, answer them with a short sentence. Or just put your head down and get on with it- that way they will hopefully take the hint that you'd rather work than talk to them. Or you could talk to the other erson in your group about the work- the 'problem' people might not want to talk to two people who are already talking.
If it really doesn't work. Ask if you can move groups.
It's not much different in the workplace. People near my cubicle want to chatter at me, or call me up to do so. Even after I came out and said "sorry, I'm very busy between the hours of xx and xx, and I'll always seem abrupt during that time because it is a very rushed time for my work right then". Yet the same bozo called me at the same time the next day... to talk about weather and sports. I can't split up my attention and not make mistakes.
Fortunately, most of my work is done when nobody is around. I suppose you could ask the teacher if he'd consider remixing the groups. Some teachers specify that the group members must be different combinations for each project.. even if they had worked well together. It was explained to me that this was to give experience in learning how to deal with a variety of different people one might have to do projects with in the work place later.
Good luck
