so, who got screwed by their professors?

[Mday]

[lawaris]

why else do you think I am moving out of here ?

 

[minendo]

I was two points shy of an A in Food Processing.:disgust:

 

[GermyBoy]

Sort of. I expected the grades I got except for one. This teacher though is the kind of guy you'd take to rob a bank. You take him with you, get a bunch of hostages, and when the police come, you have this guy talk to them. They'll all fall asleep, leaving your reasonably wealthy.

I actually got pretty lucky this semester. I thought I had a C in a class, boom B+. Final projects save

How can you get "screwed" by your professors? In college, I got the grades I deserved - end of story.

Oh, that's right, I forgot - accountability is un-American.

 

[SuperCyrix]

Was it as good for you was it was for the prof?

Subjectivity. I had an arts and performance class - if you tried your hardest in that class you're supposed to do well. I aced the two exams and did what I thought was good in these 2 "workshops" but got a C- just because the teaching assistants didn't like that my work conflicted with their interests or whatever BS they told me

Yeah, professors never screw people.......

I had a teacher who told everybody the first day of class that nobody would get an A. Of course, nobody did. I did A work in that class as well, and still didn't get an A. He gave me a 88%......Nobody got higher than 88%...........


Try to open your eyes dood.....

I came into this thread thinking it was about sex... then reading some guy just got screwed by his male professor... I think I took a wrong turn.

I'll walk out now...

Lets see.. Last semester got a B for Cisco 3 even though I had an 89 and pretty much did the entire group project by myself. Those who did not contribute (3 of them) all passed the class against Cisco policy, and I didn't even get as much as 1 pt added to my final grade for all of my hard work. In that case, I would say my prof. screwed me, that and the fact that everybody thinks he is a smart alec butthole

I kind of feel like I got screwed a little bit in my Linear Algebra class. I did a lot of work and put in a lot of effort into that class and just barely got a C. After the final, I thought for sure I was going to get a D, so the C was a pleasant surprise. Of course, it was still a C, which is still not good.

My physics teacher was one of the worst teachers I have ever had at any level of school and I did poorly as a result.

I was a tad disappointed with my Electrical Engineering class, too. The teacher said I should be able to get a specific grade if I did well on my final and I thought I did really well, yet I don't get the grade. I don't know for sure what happened. Maybe I didn't do as well as I thought I did.

At any rate, I don't think teachers can really screw students just for the heck of it. I mean, it can happen to a certain extent just because of the subject matter. Take an art or English class for example. If the teacher doesn't like your art for some reason or another or doesn't like your writing style or whatever, that can subjectively determine your grade. In a math class or another class like that, you're either right or you're wrong (unless there is partial credit for work, etc.). For the most part, I think my grades have been determined objectively. I guess I'm just disappointed that after all the hard work I put into my classes, I still get kicked in the teeth.

i got screwed a few times i suppose. but the jokes on them cuz i'm gonna be operating on their old asses soon. muhahaha
jk

 

[Evadman]

/me waves hands in the air!

Thankfully no longer have to deal with them.

Most professors will bend over backwards to be fair, but there are some who will try to screw you.

a friend of mine got screwed by Harry Edwards in his sociology class at Cal. Edwards admitted that my friend had an A and that a mistake had been made, but he refused to change the grade. That B cost my friend from having the highest GPA at Cal for the class of 1994.

 

[Spoooon]

I don't really consider this getting "screwed" because the prof was just doing her job. I needed to get a 90 on the final to get an A in the class and keep my 4.0. I got an 89, which gave me an average of an 89.275. Some profs would have bumped me up, others wouldn't. She happened to be one that wouldn't.

I didn't ask either. I hate students that beg for a few more points.

 

[tigerbait]

I missed an A in my Feedback Controls class by only a point, and that gave me a 3.47 keeping me .03 from Dean's list :Q . But I can't complain, I had a 2.8 after midterms.
