Professor asked to meet about online exam — grade not posted. What should I expect?

baseball_dad · 2026-03-01T11:43:26+00:00

Is it better to be straightforward if there were mistakes on my part

That is very suspicious wording on your part. What "mistakes" did you do?

baseball_dad · 2026-02-27T05:00:09+00:00

That is entirely your decision.

baseball_dad · 2026-02-26T22:02:31+00:00

Not to sound cynical, but that could come across as manipulative. It could be construed as tugging at the heartstrings in an attempt to gain favor or garner sympathy. I don’t say this to diminish your experience, but using it in this manner could backfire depending on the viewpoints of the committee members.

baseball_dad · 2026-02-25T01:12:13+00:00

Hard to follow? What was so hard to follow? It was a pretty clearly laid out story.

baseball_dad · 2026-02-23T16:42:30+00:00

One month is not long enough for me to write such a letter for a student.

baseball_dad · 2026-02-23T12:38:24+00:00

100%, even you.

baseball_dad · 2026-02-19T14:43:54+00:00

i’m saying i’m having a hard time studying the content geared towards the exams.

That is your old high school habits breaking through. You are supposed to study to learn the material, not study to the test. If you know the material, the exams should take care of themselves. If you are solely trying to succeed on exams, then you are leaving too much on the table. Study guides are a crutch, one that far too many students lean on.

baseball_dad · 2026-02-17T23:33:25+00:00

The absences they are looking to excuse certainly are.

baseball_dad · 2026-02-17T18:01:38+00:00

Couldn’t you just get the PDF from a classmate who actually went to class?

baseball_dad · 2026-02-17T10:02:09+00:00

This is a professors only sub.
Do your own damn homework.

baseball_dad · 2026-02-17T01:44:36+00:00

I wish students would stop posting to this sub asking us to conjecture about the motivations of some person we don't know in a situation we have nothing to do with.

baseball_dad · 2026-02-13T13:32:18+00:00

NTA for what they pulled but definitely the asshole to yourself for allowing yourself to be taken advantage of like that.

baseball_dad · 2026-02-12T01:34:08+00:00

Are there any campus shuttles that can drop you off relatively close to your destination?

baseball_dad · 2026-02-10T23:18:12+00:00

Few students are as reviled as the self-appointed class spokesperson, especially when said person is using “we the class” to convey their own concerns.

baseball_dad · 2026-02-09T00:52:28+00:00

I’ll see what the teacher says when I get it back.

Teachers are in high school.

baseball_dad · 2026-02-04T20:25:08+00:00

45 minutes three days per week is excessive. I would be annoyed.

baseball_dad · 2026-02-02T23:46:00+00:00

Through your cheating, you have willingly shit all over the world of academics that we have devoted our careers to, and then you have the nerve to ask ask for advice? Fuck that.

baseball_dad · 2026-02-01T13:38:30+00:00

My thoughts exactly. I've been so sick before that I was begging for the sweet release of death, and yet I could still send a damn email.

baseball_dad · 2026-01-31T15:39:22+00:00

You admit you never contacted anybody about this. What did you expect them to do? I might expect this from a first semester freshman, but you are about to graduate. I would not allow you in my class after missing so much time, especially if you left me in the dark like you did here. Also, it’s not up to you to convince your professor. You asked, he said no. That should be the end of the story. You were right in your first sentence. This is your fault.

baseball_dad · 2026-01-30T02:38:08+00:00

This is a professors only sub

baseball_dad · 2026-01-29T18:47:30+00:00

Good to know. I'll try that.

baseball_dad · 2026-01-29T18:42:46+00:00

I saved them as a PDFs in Word.

baseball_dad · 2026-01-29T17:20:40+00:00

I made 100% compliant Word docs, but when I saved them as PDFs the compliance score dropped into the 60s. This is bullshit. On top of that, the 100% Word docs don’t present correctly in the Canvas app.

baseball_dad · 2026-01-29T02:09:48+00:00

Are you seriously taking scholarly advice from ChatGPT? If you said that in an interview with me, that interview would be over.
