<p>This poster had a hard time with another professor, apparently. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/engineering-majors/1436590-my-teacher-hates-me-being-unfair.html#post15244144[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/engineering-majors/1436590-my-teacher-hates-me-being-unfair.html#post15244144</a></p>
<p>manee:</p>
<p>I am probably OLDER than your parents. </p>
<p>You were asking for advice. If you don’t like my advice. Don’t take it.</p>
<p>IF YOU WANT SOME MORE ADVICE. Learn to channel your anger in a more positive manner. You’ll enjoy life a lot better that way. And if you don’t like that comment as well, you don’t have to follow it.</p>
<p>BTW: You didn’t read that thread about my son and his looking for a job long enough. I DIDN’T help him and he found quite a nice job on his own.</p>
<p>At most schools, the registration is pretty fluid for the first week. The savviest people register for the most popular classes and then attend some extras to see which ones they like. It’s possible that there is a waiting list and that someone would drop out. </p>
<p>I sincerely hope that you were nice to the professor and didn’t give them the kind of attitude that you’ve displayed in your posts. Few people who you disrespected would want to help you. Life is tough and older people like myself, your professor and HPuck know it. Nobody owes you anything. Nobody cares if you graduate. Frankly, I think that it’s healthy for young people with an entitlement attitude to get smacked down every so often to give them a dose of reality. They are doing you a favor. They are contributing to your “education”. If you had told your professor that you were really interested in his/her course, he/she might have made an exception, but it sounds like you told them that you wanted to take the course because you needed to graduate. Why should they care? </p>
<p>Ultimately, you have to take responsibility for not getting registered in time, and be contrite about it. Even if it really isn’t your fault, you need to be contrite to people who do think it’s your fault so that they want to help you. I put myself in the professor’s shoes, and all of the other students manged to register ok. Why do I need another student, one who feels entitled, in my course, who is just taking it because she needs to graduate. Not my problem.</p>
<p>There is a problem to be solved. You’re an engineer. Drop the attitude, and the emotional component and figure out a solution. If there is no other course that would meet the graduation requirement, then you aren’t going to graduate. You would need to contact your company, tell them what happened, and see if you can either start the job and take the last remaining course online or at night, or delay your start until you take the course and graduate. </p>
<p>Often there are independent research courses that can be used to fulfill electives. If there is a professor that you can work for, that might be the way to go also. </p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>oh boy…there you go again. It sounds like country …country music that is: Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom…my teacher dont let me take his class…but my boyfriend loves me…boom, boom, boom, boom…I fight my teacher but he won’t give in boom, boom, boom, boom…</p>
<p>Actually what happened is that you were set up. The company arranged to offer you a job that you would never be able to get because the university wouldn’t let you get it. The world is out to get you, so that’s how it happened. Sucks but such is life.</p>
<p>I don’t understand OP, people gave him advice and he refuses to take it. I don’t understand why you would complain on CC where no members have control over the situation. People offered you alternatives and obviously didn’t take them. You need to take responsibility for your actions and poor planning. It’s no one’s fault that you missed the chance of getting into that class, except your own. If you knew you needed that class, you should have gotten the form to let you take over the maximum number units before registration started.</p>
<p>It’s also entirely possible that the decision to let you overload was made after registration began to give people who weren’t overloading higher priority. Since you would be getting something (an extra class) for presumably no extra tuition, it makes perfect sense for that to be the case, and that overloaded classes are really meant for classes with space available. You certainly can’t expect the school to deny someone taking a normal load admission to a class in favor of someone who is overloading.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Also, I think the OP is female.</p>
<p>Quite true RockerDad. Most schools put a limit on the number of units one sign up for at their initial registration. Then, after everyone then has a chance at their classes, they let students overload.</p>
