Seriously, this really pisses me off. I may not be a great writer, but my paper was well above snuff considering everyone has to take this class. Met all requirements, turned it in on time, and the professor was okay with the topic. What the hell is wrong with it?

Oh, you're in college. Sorry, I just read "freshman", and assumed that you were in High School.

The teacher gave no reasons for the grade you received? I hate it when they do that.YoshiEgg25 wrote:Ticked: I got a D in Freshman Composition II.

I am graduating this semester with a BA in English and I had a professor that told me I do not know how to interpret literature. WTF? How would I make it to be a senior without knowing literature?! She could not take people having different interpretations for anything. Even though my papers were well done she gave me low grades on them all because she said I had it all wrong.
They can be so annoying.

Oh I doubt that. If that is the case I'd speak with the registrar asap.PixelPixii wrote: The teacher gave no reasons for the grade you received? I hate it when they do that.

No explanation, no e-mails, nothing. Didn't even find out until I decided to look at my grades today.Luke wrote:Oh I doubt that. If that is the case I'd speak with the registrar asap.PixelPixii wrote: The teacher gave no reasons for the grade you received? I hate it when they do that.
It pisses me off that I never got anything worse than a C throughout high school, then I get a D and an F. And I really don't think I deserved that D.

I would assume that you turned in more than one paper for a compositions class. She gave no reasoning for the low grades on your papers?YoshiEgg25 wrote:No explanation, no e-mails, nothing.

You could try sending an email. I had a professor once that put in the wrong grade by accident. I knew it was wrong because I had all good grades on all my assignments.

Ticked off - Power has been fluctuating since Sunday, which means tree on the line.

Re: What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?
It was a he, and it was only one paper, and he emailed me back with a list of all the assignments. He gave me a D on the paper and an F on two major in-class assignments that I'm not even sure where I could've possibly missed points. I'm really mad, and I don't even think anything will fix this shit.PixelPixii wrote: You could try sending an email. I had a professor once that put in the wrong grade by accident.
