I work better under pressure
You are paired with a classmate for a presentation worth 30 percent of your grade.
Tyler is reliable and did excellent work on your last assignment together, but he always finishes at the last minute. Five days before the presentation, you meet in a campus study room. You have drafted your half; he plans to write his the night before and rehearse together only once, an hour before class.
What's said in the scene
Tyler: Here is my outline. I'll write the rest Thursday.
Tyler: Relax. I always do my best work the night before. I've never missed a deadline.
Tyler: Why does it matter how I get there, as long as it's done? Honestly, what's the problem?
