I just remember that it was a serious matter. We kept yelling and arguing with each other, and we even emailed the lecturer about our issues, asking her to find a solution for us. She advised us to strike a balance. I wanted to strike a balance too, but my friend was so conservative that she didn't want to compromise between the two methods.
