My professor hates me!

<p>I'm depressed. I'm taking this class I need with the same grad student who barely passed me last time. I think this was mostly because I accidentally said the wrong thing to him one time and he never got over it. I also think he arbitrarily changed one of my grades. I'd drop his class if I could but my schedule is kinda locked and I'm not sure if they're ever going to get someone else to teach the class. </p>

<p>Also: what can I do about verbal harassment? I think I also have a classmate who has something against me, too, but since I think the professor hates me who can I complain to!? I'm not even a rude person!</p>

<p>A classmate said something against you? What did they say?</p>

<p>If you think someone is harassing you, bring the issue up to the department chair or director of graduate studies. Don't let it get out of control.</p>

<p>There should be paper proof of all of your grades so that someone can't just change it if they feel like it.</p>

<p>Is there a chance that you could change the class? If not, you could try talking to someone higher up there.</p>

<p>I'm not sure why you "think" this person "arbitrarily changed one of [your] grades" because you "accidentally said the wrong thing to him one time" (though I am really curious to know what it is you accidentally said). You should have evidence of each of your grades, and if you thought this at the time I assume you appealed the final grade so that someone else would sort it out.</p>

<p>If you think your instructor hates you and is likely to grade you unfairly, look into the possibility of dropping the class and taking it with someone else later. If that won't work for you, then you'll just need to keep track of everything you're being graded on so that you will have the evidence if you decide to appeal the grade this time.</p>

<p>As far as someone harrassing you, there should be information in your student handbook about how those things are handled on your campus. Read the policy and then take whatever steps are appropriate.</p>
