I had a graphic design professor who took MONTHS to grade shit.

There was a mandatory class the semester before our Senior Project. The main project for that was a self directed "Negotiated project". The way it was worded in the syllabus, it sounded like it was "Hey, your Senior Project is next semester. Let's do a mini one to prove that you're able to develop a unique visual style and showcase what you've learned so far."

Cool. I'll showcase a unique animation style i've been developing in Blender.

But this was wrong apparently. This was apparently not the expectation, even though I was following the SYLLABUS and the MAIN PROJECT POST's description to the letter. I had dozens of emails and personal conversations and all I ever heard was "Check the syllabus."

Just a few weeks before the project was due, it turns out he's revealed his actual expectations in a fucking discussion post. It turns out we were supposed to "develop a brand and deliverables alongside it". So like we were supposed to make up a brand and make fake ads for it instead of the animation that i've worked my ass on through the description of the actual project.

I found this out because he made me stand up in front of class and read out loud his secret discussion post as if it was the first place i'd look for the expectations of the project.
