You and three classmates are working on a major group project that is worth 40% of your final grade. Everyone agreed that all sections would be submitted by Friday night, so you would have the weekend to review and polish the final draft before submitting it on Monday. By Saturday morning, everyone except Kara has submitted their part. You check your messages and find no update from her. The group is frustrated because this isn’t the first time Kara has been late, but in the past, she always turned in their work eventually. Then, you receive a message from Kara saying: "Hey, sorry for the delay. I had a family emergency last night, and I couldn’t finish my section on time. I’ll try to get it to you later today, but I’m really exhausted. Let me know what you think." At this point, you must decide how to respond:

Confrontation Strategy – You reply directly to Kara, saying: "Hey Kara, I’m sorry to hear that. We understand, but we really need your section since the deadline is coming up. Is there any way you can finish it soon? If you can’t, let us know so we can figure out another solution." You choose to hold Kara accountable while still being empathetic about their situation.
