The right way to email a professor about your grade

[zokudu]

Thats my fucking point!

The dumb lazy fucktards are too spoiled. They dont even have the good sense to pretend they give a shit anymore. At least lie or make up a good story and fix your grammar!
Sorry sons of bitches!

Hey i am in college. I'm offended :'(

 

[busydude]

You use BlackBoard too? Sucks ass doesnt it?

Me too.. and yeah it does suck. It can import spreadsheets, but does not let a TA/instructor download the grading forms. The faculty had a meeting last month.. they said they were looking for alternatives. I would be happy if they moved away from this one.

Wow, what the fuck. The guy can't even be bothered to pretend he knows how to compose a proper paragraph when emailing a professor? Sorry guy, but no, you don't get extra credit. You earn your grades just like everybody else. Slack off til the last week and then stitch together a half-assed email to the professor, begging for extra credit? No way.

I hope your friend fails him. Earn your grades. Don't beg for them.

"Had to work" -- like he's the only person in college with a job. The fuck is wrong with people?

The student wants to transfer from a cal state to UCI.

 

[Mr. Lennon]

Your friend is Asian....right?

That's it. My friend is white lol.

He'll get eaten alive at the UC. He should stay at the Cal State.

In college, I was taking this business class. I dont remember exactly what class it was. But we had an exam, and I think the grade I got back was a B. I was looking over the questions that I got wrong, and comparing them to the solution key provided by the professor. I disagreed with a few of the correct answers; in fact, I remember that the answers just didnt make sense, and my "incorrect answer" should have been right. This was the case on maybe 4 questions, which if I had gotten credit for, would have bumped me up to an A.

First I brought up my issue with the professor and argued that my answers were right, etc. I thought there was no way I would not get the points for the questions based on my argument.

The professor simply stated that these were the "book's solutions", and if that's what they thought were right, then it was right.

I was furious, and I remember ripping her a new one. I said something along the lines of her being the professor of the class and how we all (students) assume she has some influence over the course rather than a textbook.

A week later, she decided to give me the credit.

it showed up after I was a student, but I think most places use it these days. I'm actually not that familiar with it.

I don't get it...just use spell check and it will look passable.

to depend on spell check to fix something like that is a major social failure.

examples like this should be evidence for eradicating spell check technology altogether.

I actually like it. Each year it's gotten better and IMO it does everything it's supposed to do. If the professor keeps it updated it's a great tool to keep track of your grades, syllabus, schedule updates, etc. People just seem to hate it because it's connected with school

We use Springboard, and when the instructors use it effectively it's a good tool (although the software is shitty at times).

my highschool (graduated 2003) and my current college use blackboard. surprisingly enough noone at csusm used blackboard. (at least not for my classes).

i hate it. i hated it with a passion since i was forced to use it at my highschool. absolutely terrible software.

I dont wanna go on a rant about college students (because I do that at least once a week already) but the above email is not at all surprising to me.
Their grammar is so fucked up I actually feel sorry for them. It stopped being funny a long time ago, now its just scary.

Sounds like you knew some really stupid students. When I was back in university four years ago, I didn't know a single person who was anywhere close to that bad. That's definitely an example of the exception, not the rule. Unless it was a football player. lololololo.

I hope that person is a girl, and she's hot for own sake.

Community College.
Virginia suburbs.
K-12 out here a damn joke. They dont challenge the students at all. And even then the kids are so lazy they have to give them a free diploma just so they dont clog up the system. 1st year of college only serves one purpose, to make up for the shitty high school education.

In Minnesota, I learned stuff about chemistry in junior high that we still havent covered in NOVA's CHM 101. My senior high chem taught me a lot more than Virginia's CHM 102.

And again, because teachers dont wanna see the same students over and over, they give them D's just so they get the hell out.

For those of you who dont yet understand: Straight D's from a community college is NOT going to impress any employers.

He needs to go back for another year or two in high school.
