Man, I have been working really hard all summer. Things came to a close with that, and now I am trying to catch up on my classes. All my finals and whatnot are due the second week of August, or earlier (if you can pull it off). My astronomy prof turned his class off early (it was on Friday, apparently) and so I cannot do any work for the course at all. I cannot take any tests or turn in my report or anything.I have, like straight zeros.
The weird thing is that all of the tests, except for one, are multiple choice and are automatically graded through blackboard. So, basically, all this prof has to do is grade one essay test, the final paper, and average out the class grades and post them. I do not understand what to do because he turned the class off early, even though he barely has to do anything in the class. I am not trying to devalidate the work online profs do at all, I am just saying that this one prof has his course set up in a very easy way for him.
I have a lot of work outlined out. And, the book is really easy to read. And, all I wanted to do was sit down and finish the course online and all. I tried to e mail him and he will not bulge at all even though the semester is still in session. He said that I can try to prove my being poor, basically, and that he might give me time to make things up during the fall. But he was really mean about it, like he wants me to be humiliated.
Damn, I hate such professors. Do whatever it is you need to do to pass, even if you think he is trying to humiliate you. Then, once it is official that you have passed, find your professor, and stab him with a few sharpened #2 pencils. Don’t stop stabbing until you feel better about the whole ordeal he put you through. Then run away like a madman and never return. But before you stab, make sure there is nothing blocking your exit.
Well see this University lost funding for a scholarship during the course of the summer. This scholarship paid half of my tuition. They literally lost funding for the scholarship and were very polite and honest about it. As soon as I was notified about that, I started working an extra job.Once I earned enough money, I quit the extra job. Normally, I do not quit anything but it was only a fast food job and I gave them 2 days notice. Where I live in Memphis, there are tons of bars and restuarants of all sorts, so it was no big deal for me to be an unofficial temp at a fast food restuarant.
After that, I organised all of my schoolwork that I had been outlining out and everything and logged on to the computer to sit down and do a ton of work. This was three weeks or so before finals. That is when I learned that my online Astronomy instructor “turned his class off”. I have almost all zeros in the class. And, even now, I still have almost all zeros in the class even though the finals are not until next week. I e mailed the prof, the registrar, and everyone I could think of and have yet to obtain any response above: “tough cookies”. I have minded my manners and have tried to be open and honest and polite to no avail.
I still do not know what to do. I even, to be on the safe side, made my boyfriend and one of my younger brothers read the course schedule and syllabus in the event I Made a mistake. And I have not made any mistake, the prof just decided to end his class early.
