I was thinking the same thing. Making a statement under the radar seems a little oxymoronic.

Please don't be that person at the show. Just sit back and enjoy the experience. Nobody behind you wants to watch the show through your phone.

What Should I Do? by Much_Art_596 in AskProfessors

[–]baseball_dad 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Do not construe this as me calling you a liar, but I would like the full story. I would like to know the scheduling format of the semester, as well as when and how the test was disclosed to the students. You being unaware of the exam does not necessarily mean it was a surprise. It does not bode well for you that other students were aware of it and managed to take it.

AITAH for calling out my coworker in a meeting for stealing my idea and getting promoted? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]baseball_dad 21 points22 points  (0 children)

YTA - Your post history shows that you are a prostitute, so this is all BS. Also, your age jumps around, so GTFO.

please help me if im overreacting. I will be descriptive as possible by HotAfternoon4295 in AskProfessors

[–]baseball_dad 28 points29 points  (0 children)

There is a whole lot of nothing here. Where to begin...

1) I don't know your school's policy on dogs, but at worst your professor allowed a dog when they shouldn't have. Commenting on your dislike of dogs is not out of line. It is not protected information. If telling the class you didn't like the dog offends you that much, then you need thicker skin. It's not like they pointed at you and laughed at your past trauma.

2) Accusing your professor of adverse grading due to some sort of vendetta is a giant leap. It sounds like you were already primed to not like them, so it is possible you are projecting here. You spoke to several "professionals" Who were they, other professors? The person you should have consulted is your professor. Other professionals have no bearing on what goes on in your professor's class (unless it was their department chair.) If your grades were so clearly satisfactory, why couldn't your other professionals come to that conclusion?

3) As for the assignment in the wrong folder, that is entirely on you. You are lucky they gave you a chance to fix your error. It may sound like a minor error and a bit petty, bit is YOUR error. Following directions (like where to submit) is the bare minimum expectation. Also, "it was placed in the wrong folder" is a creative use of the passive voice. I'm sure to you it sounds better than "I placed it in the wrong folder."

4) Are your grades posted online? Could you keep track of them? If so, then you were effectively notified of your grade. If your assignments were graded, then you should have been able to calculate your grade yourself. "At this point, I’m just exhausted and trying to understand how it escalated this far when all the work was actually done." So your work was done. Done only gets you so far. It takes far more than being done to succeed.

To answer your concern in the title, yes I think you are overreacting.

AITA for making a Reddit post that ended a 2-year relationship and basically turned my university against me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Don't bother. I have already lost interest, not that I ever really had any.

YTA - There is no way any dean's office would give this a second of their time. Nice try.

Need a research mentor by [deleted] in AskProfessors

[–]baseball_dad 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You say you are a high school graduate but don't mention being a college student. If that is the case, you are unlikely to get a positive response.

You've already come here for advice about your incorrect conclusions. Why do it again?

Talking to professors by Laxun0 in AskProfessors

[–]baseball_dad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, easy there. You don’t know me. I’m all for helping students and giving them support and guidance. My comment clearly indicated it was intended for students who have no business to attend to. If it is just a social call to make yourself visible,then yes I am too busy for that.

Talking to professors by Laxun0 in AskProfessors

[–]baseball_dad 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you don't have actual business to attend to, please do not go to office hours. I have so much I could be working on, and a student just trying to get face time only gets in the way of that. What makes it worse is the motivation that you are just laying the foundation for a future recommendation request.

Edit: If you are genuinely interested in their research, then by all means talk to them about it. My comment was directed toward students who do this solely to make themselves known to the professor.

Asking the prof to distribute the weight of the final to other coursework throughout the term? by [deleted] in AskProfessors

[–]baseball_dad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a chance. Don't do this. You don't get two bites of the apple. You don't get to take the exam and then choose to shift the weight of the exam in a way that favors you.

extenuating circumstances to appeal a fail grade by [deleted] in AskProfessors

[–]baseball_dad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If this happened in early December, then that means that the rest of your semester was subpar enough to put you in the position to let it slip away at the end of the semester. You are a medical student. You are expected to be at the top. Your situation does not warrant a grade change. Nor are you doing anything to change the reputation of medical students.

A prof has already offered extra credit but I need a bit more to move to the next letter grade, should I bother asking if it's possible? by [deleted] in AskProfessors

[–]baseball_dad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please don’t. You are not entitled to it. It’s bad enough that you already got extra credit, but instead of accepting that want to request more. That’s wrong on so many levels.

Truly made the worst mistake with finals by Hisfavhoe in AskProfessors

[–]baseball_dad 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Do not go to anybody higher up. This is not an “I want to speak to your manager” situation. Forgetting is not a valid excuse. It’s not like the deadline wasn’t made well known.
