However, the woman doesn't like this proposal because depending on others makes her feel nervous. One of her roommates did this kind of assignment before, but her partner was unreliable. She didn't do anything. It really hurt her grade. Besides, at the end of the semester, students are focusing on their exams, so they won't do a good job because they don't have enough time. They are occupied. They won't listen to others carefully.

Revised Answer (140 words):

The final project for this course involves an oral presentation with a partner. This project aims to help students explore the benefits and challenges of collaborating with others, while also enabling them to share their findings with the class and learn from each other's efforts. However, the woman expresses her concerns about this assignment as she feels uneasy relying on others. She shares an experience of her roommate, who had an unreliable partner in a similar project, leading to a negative impact on her grade. Furthermore, the woman believes that students will be preoccupied with their exams towards the end of the semester, leaving them with insufficient time to devote to the project. Consequently, she thinks that students might not be able to deliver quality work and may not pay adequate attention to their peers' presentations.
