Episode description
We've all been there — stuck in a group project where not everyone pulls their weight. But what happens when you're asked to rate your teammates, and telling the truth could mean one of them fails?
In this episode, we explore the ethical gray area of peer evaluations in group assignments. Mpumi sent us a voice note saying: "one teammate contributed nothing, and now honest feedback could tank their grade. Is it being fair, or is it being a snitch? Would you stay silent to keep the peace or speak up for the sake of justice?"
