Brainstorm it over a coffee, a drink in the SU. Or if a few of you live in the same student accommodation get together over a curry and work it all out before going off and completing your own assignment.
Never work together on actually writing the assignment as that could be found to be academic cheating and that just opens a whole new can of worms for you. And be persistent , break the assignment down. Take each individual element and work on it. Then bring it all together at the end.

The opportunities to allow this vary among Universities, so check the regulations at your own institution. If you fail an entire module you are usually required to re-sit the assessments, either by re-submitting the coursework or, in some cases, by resitting an exam.
The form of the assessment will be decided according to the existing module guidelines, university regulations, and the decisions of the lecturer and board of examiners. The resulting mark is usually capped at a bare pass level, which is typically in the range. If you fail a dissertation, you will usually be given an opportunity to re-submit it by an agreed-upon date.
As with a module failure, the marks awarded for a re-submitted dissertation will usually be capped at a bare pass level. It is worth noting that a complete failure of a dissertation is rare at UK universities, and typically occurs only if a student has neglected to meet with their supervisor at regular intervals, or neglected to submit drafts in advance of the final submission.
Although university regulations usually allow a student to re-sit exams and assessments, as described above, there are special procedures in place in cases of failure due to plagiarism. If a student is found to have copied work from another source or used the ideas of others without citing their sources appropriately, they may receive a failing mark.
In serious cases the matter can be referred to a University Ethics Board, that will have the authority to take a range of measures against the student. Low course grades, whether you fail or not, will impact your grade point average. This may be important for you if you want to keep the door open to Honours or postgraduate study, or even if you enrol in a different undergraduate degree later in life.
If in the future, for example, you decide to apply for a Masters degree, not only at UniSA but at any university, your grade point average will be one of the factors considered. Some professions may also take more notice of grades than others; competitive fields such as law, for example. If you are worried about your grades it would be worth doing some research into your industry to work out just how important your academic transcript will be.
Be realistic in your assessment of your failure. If you would like to discuss your progress at uni, or your personal experience of failure, you might like to come in and speak with a counsellor.
