pretty sure most team assignments are just a way for profs to grade less papers

they don't really give a fuck about the burden that puts on the "teams"

from their point of view its probably less work for the students too, and since thats what they're all about, voila

this idea that winnie needs to go assess his behavior in light of this misses the point, which is he's being set up to conform to accommodate other people start to finish, and when he turns around an apologizes for his past "aggressive behavior" they know they've got him right where they want him

now if the "team" project genuinely required a team and couldn't be structured differently or the assignment simply given in a way that transparently reduces the profs workload and not at the expense of students, then it might be different, but usually people in that position realize success depends on actual group health and try to arrange things fairly to begin with. this whole thing is slipshod leadership and ignorance of group dynamics top to bottom

that the underlings turn around and try to sort themselves out just goes to show how programmed they are to obey and not question
