Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I know it's ironic but: Forgive my poor English. It's not my native language.


 I'm having a group project in my college with four other students. One of them is a foreign exchange student who's not that fluent in the language of my country. Let me call her Y here.

 Y hasn't contributed at all since the beginning of the semester(for about 2 months). Not that she's a bad person imo, but she's not that trying hard either.

 Every time we have a discussion, she just sits around there idly. I know it could be hard enough for her to just catch up with conversation; so I constantly ask her questions and opinions. But she never answers the question. She just shrugs no matter what I ask(her language skill is good enough to understand the short sentences I organized to be as simple as possible).

 Last week, we set up a meeting to discuss one of the most important interim report of the semester. It'd be a long meeting so it was a little hard to find out when would be ok for everyone. Since it was impossible for everyone to meet up the same time, we set up the meeting for the day when Y wasn't available and told her we'd share the meeting result to her via email.

 I'm not sure how did she feel about that. Anyway the meeting was successful; the hardest part was to decide which assignment should we give to Y(She gotta do something we can write down on the report). We made up an easy assignment that we don't really need to avoid any trouble in case she screws up.

 Now I want to tell Y that she doesn't have to waste her time texting to her friends while other teammates discuss and we won't tell the professor. I don't dislike her or anything. She's a lovely person and must be really smart to study college level books in foreign language. But literally no one is benefiting here in my eyes.
