Argh. Stupid teacher. I have this class that I hate, Principles of Counseling - thought it would be great, turned out I was way wrong. So anyway, I got a slow start and didn't do so hot at the beginning, so I really had to work my butt off the second half. I just got my grade back for my final and participation grade - both 100%! That was great, but my final average was still showing 88%, which didn't make any sense considering all my grades were A's except for my Discussion Board grade which was worth 15% of the final grade and I had an 88% average in that class.
I emailed the stupid teacher and she told me that the final grade was correct. I went back and looked again and I had earned 1001 of 1100 points, which is a 91% - so I emailed her to double check it. All she emailed back was "Stop....", which really ticked me off - I mean, I have a RIGHT to question her grading if it doesn't add up correctly and I am NOT going to take a B, just because that is what she wants to give me - not if my grades don't support it. I mean, I'm passive, but not that passive. So, anyway, I look again at the gradebook and I notice that her Discussion Board weights do not match - some show as 100% and some show as 3% - well, that doesn't make sense so I email the stupid woman again and guess what.......she changes my grade - to a 93%! Okay, so then she emails the class and says that she "discovered" that her grading was incorrect, so double check your grades. Then she sends me a personal email saying that she realized the grade had been incorrect but that I had been a pest and basically needed to ask all my questions in one email instead of three!! Well, don't you think I WOULD have if I had thought of all the questions at once??? And isn't the point that she is the instructor, which means she HAS to listen to my emails? I am so sorry that my emails get on her nerves, but frankly, that is what she is paid to do. I know lots of people far more annoying than me, and I am thinking that if she thinks that I am annoying, she better find a new profession.
Okay - I feel better now. I have my "A" and that's all that counts. So offended though! Once my grade is recorded officially I may write a nice little letter to admin to complain (not that I think it will do any good).
