Re: Unpleasent captain duties, how do you?
Luke,
In cases like this, any team member (regardless if they are a captain or not) should bring the problem to the attention of the Team Mentors (Instructors/Parents/Engineers) - whom ever are in the leadership role and that made the assignment to the student.
Students from the team often use the team captain as the person that they tell stuff to - the captain then determines if the problem really needs to be addressed above them. Sometime they do - sometimes they don't (in this particular case, this one does need to be addressed above them)
Rather than confront them directly, which could end up being taken wrong or misunderstood, let the mentor address it. The role of team captain varies greatly among teams, but whenever one student takes it upon themselves to tell another they think is good or bad, the communication often goes bad.
In cases where the issue involved can and should be handled among the students, do so. This case involves an assigned project from someone other than you.
So, my advice is to quietly get a mentor involved and then just let that mentor take care of the situation.
Whom ever assigned the website project should review the project and determine if the outcome has met the expectations and goals. (Hopefully, that included something about what was appropriate and what wasn't)
