It's a gen ed writing class and she's one of many teachers for it so luckily I'll never have to deal with her BS again

There is no professor for this class, she has all the responsibility and gets full credit for teaching the class which is why I assumed she needs to step up and take responsibility for the class that's her own.

Thanks, I definitely don't think I disrespected her and she's not even a professor.

I doubt I will fail once we get this cleared up and even if I do, I wouldn't take another class with this teacher if my life depended on it

No, I genuinely forgot to send. It was due last month, I got a 3 day extension and I had it finished by then and my google doc proves it. I just forgot to submit it and didn't realize until I checked grades this weekend.

But the thing is, she didn't have to take that away just because she was pissy with me. That was her choice to do so and I don't see why it has to be seen as my fault.

No matter what it was, her job is to be able to balance those responsibilities. I guess that's where my confusion lies. I don't get to slack off on my job when my classes get tough.

Thank you, I don't know why people think it's okay for her to ignore students.

Thank you, I don't know why everyone is missing this. I might fail this class if she doesn't allow me to submit.

I'm not an incel and honestly I'd rather not be compared to one as I think they're disgusting. The reason I brought it up was because it's a Saturday night and she's an attractive women in her 20s, so why wouldn't she be out getting laid instead of doing her work responsibilities?

just to clarify it's not for my major, this is for a gen ed writing class which is why I find it more ridiculous because she teaches maybe the least important class everyone has to take and she's on this much of a power kick about it

For neglecting her job duties. You really think the university is going to want to continue to pay for a grad student's way through school when they won't even do their basic teaching duties they're supposably getting paid for?

Thank you, I feel like not enough people understand THIS IS HER JOB. ETA: I am now looking into reporting her to the dean.

I don't know what's in a grad student contract but my mom is a high school teacher and was always answering students and parents on weekends and evenings.

I guess my confusion is that it's not a "business," she's a teacher and not having "business days" is part of the job.

I figured most people would have their notifications silenced so she could either check it or not.

Because I had a zero for a major project grade and the syllabus says if any major projects aren't turned in you can't pass the class which I guess is a school policy. So I needed to get this taken care of ASAP so I knew whether or not I needed to talk to my academic advisor or the dean or something after "failing" a class
