During one module at University we have to be in groups of 2/3 to do this particular assignment (analysis and design). Me and my mate have been through high school and a HND together and we drive each other to university everyday so clearly we're doing the assignment together.
There was a lad who was sitting near us (overseas student, call it ignorance but i'm not entirely sure of his nationality, but he's from the East) who was the only person to raise his hand when the tutor asked who didn't have a group. Nothing more was said until the end of the lesson where our tutor came over and asked if we minded if he joined up with us. Now obviously we're not going to say no right infront of him, so we agreed and he came over to us and we started discussing how we were going to do the assignment.
After a few minutes it became clear that it was going to be difficult, I found it hard to communicate with him as he couldn't really understand me fully.
Whilst we were driving home me and my mate agreed that I'd email him and basically tell him we didn't want to be in a group with him. It would have been difficult with us two not living at Uni, and we felt that we'd be way more organised if it was just the pair of us. So I emailed him and he replied saying "Ok thats fine" but I know he'll be a week behind now as he'll most likely have to wait until next week to sort a group again.
Was we wrong to basically "kick him out". I feel quite bad in fairness. I don't want my tutor to think i'm racist or anything it's just a simple fact that we're more comfortable working with each other rather than with a stranger as well.
