I have stated once that I have an instructor for two of my classes whose voice sounds like he has a mouth full of peanut butter. Well, in my Windows 7 class, I have just recently found out that I have been missing homework assignments without knowing about them. I believe that the homework assignments and how to do them should be made obvious on the online page of the class. So, I decided to hit up Mr. Mumbo-Jumbo on the public discussion forum on that page. All names and locations have been censored for safety and privacy reasons.
Pentagram (me): I didn't know until last night that there were assignments for this class due weekly. In class, I didn't hear anything about there being homework. And I don't see anywhere that tells us exactly how we are supposed to do it. I'm sorry, but I believe that you should do more to let us know of what our assignments are and how to do them, especially because they are for a grade.
Instructor: I have explained this multiple times in class. Did you really think you would take a class with no assignments? Have you used eLearn and seen the assignments in the Content area?
Pentagram: I have only found the assignment list on eLearn last night. But it doesn't explain exactly how to do it and I can't find that information on here. I wonder how many other students are potentially failing (or have failed) your class due to your failure to properly notify us of our homework assignments! And I suggest you get a microphone and some speakers or some other way to amplify your voice, because quite frankly, we can't hear exactly what you're saying.
Instructor: I am not going to discuss this in a public forum. I find it interesting that you have not come by my office or talked to me after class about any of this, rather you want to criticize me in a public forum. Why is that?
I told you in an e-mail to come to my office and you have not as of yet. I will only discuss this in person, so man up and come by.
Pentagram: You're not going to say exactly how to do our assigments right here on eLearn so that everyone can see it? Seems like that would be a lot easier than having to mumble it to your students over and over again. In fact, you should have done so before even the first week started. Now you should let me catch up so that I don't have my grade muddled with zeros that aren't even my fault. Or I will do more than criticize you in a public forum. I'll file a complain with the JSCC administration. How about that?
Instructor: Your concerns are being addressed.
After this, I have gotten an email from the Assistant Dean of the Technical Department asking me to come to his office on Thursday afternoon to discuss my intent with what I have posted. Oh boy, this is going to be fun! :zoinks:
-
You can get probation for this, it's not worth it. Trust me. He can refuse to let you in his class as well. College has tons of assignments, and I hate to put it this way but it's really your job to figure out what to do - it's not always in black and white.
I had a girl freak out on one of my Lit professors one time. Saying something like she couldnt believe we had an online test due before every class. She cried and everything
guess what happened ? she got kicked out of class.

Pentagram. Walk on eggshells with this. Sounds like you were angry, frustrated and confrontational over this. The instructor was right. It should have been discussed privately with him as a first step. It's always easier to escalate a situation than deflate it. In other words, start with your most business-like, reasonable position and go from there. This is college and you need to have a higher level of maturity in dealing with people. These are the ones who you will be asking for a reference when you're looking for your first job or two. And how you handle yourself will get spread around the students. Students are a goldmine in job referrals. A friends son got a job simply because 3 other recent graduates were hired by this firm. His interview? He was asked who had the best football team on a conference call. Total interview, hired because his fellow students vouched for him.
Threats are always a bad move, especially when they're made publicly. The Administration is going to be cautious in handling this matter after recent violent campus incidents. And they are right in adopting this attitude. They really don't know you. They only know what you've written in the email.
Thursday is not going to be easy. You may have to eat crow.

FA you are a fucking idiot. So publicly challenging your instructor is supposed to have a positive outcome for you, is that it? Starting a pissing contest with someone at a higher elevation requires a degree of self sabotaging stupidity that you seem to excel at. You will remain a moronic loser your entire life if you do not pull your head out of your ass at least long enough to get a glimpse of daylight every once in a while, but if you are more comfortable in the dark then by all means keep your head stuck in your ass. :thumbdn:
-
Another thing FA, fucking up like that and then blaming your own failure on others is very immature. Not that I believe you really mind being an immature pissant.
-
Yep, that was an incredibly stupid thing to do. Talk about fucking things up.
-
Persuasion not Intimidation, remember that next time.
I found I was able to get extensions and be excused for failing to do something right, if I kindly persuaded them to give me a chance. I remember one time I misunderstood an assignment and wasted a lot working on something that wasn't exactly what was asked. The lecturer even told me I made a mistake, and I kindly explained that I misunderstood but still fulfil the criteria of what was asked and presented him with what I had. He accepted it and I still passed.

I just wanted to mention that this isn't really the way it works in college.
Most of the time, the prof. talks about theories, not how to do the work or how to understand the material. The "work" is often something you just need to know how to do, or figure out how to do quickly. Often times refer to your syllabus for what material will be covered.

At this stage, if you want to get on, your attitude should be more ''help me i'v fucked up'' rather than ''you're fucking this up for me''.
I am not going to waste my time telling you how you should have handled it. It's already done.
You should apologise for airing your grievances on a public forum. That is the first thing. Then explain any difficulties you may be having. It may be an idea to find out
if any other students have missed assignments this way. If they have, use them, it will demonstrate to your instructor that there could be a possible problem at his end
and you are not just making trouble.
Remember, you will already have gotten his back up - so be polite, and be prepared to back down. Unless of course you want to quit anyway which i am assuming you
dont.
I have no idea if your tutor is crap. He could be. POINT IS NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO CAUSE TROUBLE FOR THIS MAN. Hopefully you will catch up on assignments, and
do well in college and get a decent job. THEN IT MIGHT BE WORTH TELLING HIM HE IS A JERK...BUT NOT NOW

What made you think doing that shit was a good idea? Are you trying to look tough?
If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough. - John Wayne

I see both sides of the argument here:
A fair amount of lecturers feel like they're above people when in reality they're possibly the most laziest, useless cunts around. A lot of them DON'T do their job properlly and most likely forgot 90% of their education long ago. Students with a piece of paper to make them feel special, basically. The lecturers that do their job are however are fantastic.
However, it is up to the student to suss out things. No point arguing or moaning at them because you didn't realise you had to do this and that, tough shit. Your words will never carry any weight, if anything you'll just get kicked out. The only way to get over the cunts is to do your fucking work and someday take THEIR job. :orly:

Can you get extra tutoring to help you figure out how to do the homework and some extra time to do it in?

That is indeed a good way to get scores. Thanks. :) There has to be a significant outcome, though, to make the lecturer happy heh.
Sorry to derail the thread Pentagram.

Well, the meeting went okay. The assistant dean of the tech dept told me that what I had posted was unacceptable and I told her that I wouldn't do it again. The instructor told me that if I do well in his class, that he would give me full credit for the assignments that I missed. And he has posted online how to do the assignments. No hard feelings.

That's good. I'm glad it went OK. You've just got to remember that you need these people a lot more than they need you, and if it means putting up with stuff you think is unfair, then that's what you have to do.
If you do well here you might have a few oportunities with your life. If you fuck it up, then you're probably right back to sitting in your appartment with absolutely no options open to you.

That's good. I'm glad that it went OK when you said you wouldn't do it again and the professor agreed not to penalize you for not doing homework you didn't know existed until it was too late and posted how to do it online.
I would advise doing the homework to the best of your ability anyway, even if it's not for a grade.

pentagram, "Glock did, however, have extensive experience in advanced synthetic polymers, knowledge of which was instrumental in the company's design of the first successful line of pistols with a polymer frame."
"plastic" is relative. it doesnt mean the gun is made out of bubblegum, you know.
besides, its only the frame. you could say the M1 Garand is made out of wood, on the same premise.

The fact that you have a favorite Pokemon is pretty fucking lame.

Well, you have to admit, for how bullshit Pokemon in general is, you have to admit, GameFreaks created some cool, badass looking "pocket monsters" over the years.
It's just a shame they never did anything good with them. The shows are crap, the games are boring, etc.
-
I have never played Pokemon. The few video games I have played I truly and abysymically (new word) suck big time at. Just don't have the coordination to do them, probably because I started so late in life.

I play the Pokemon Gameboy games and I don't care who thinks I'm lame because of it.

I and I am sure no one else wants to know about your "pocket monster". Amazed you would be able to reach around your stomach to get your hands in your pockets tbh. Good work.

I like the games too, although I find anything later than gold/silver to be a pile of shit IMO.

I don't play much beyond G/S, mainly because I don't own a Gameboy Advance or later.
The Red/Blue/Yellow generation is my favourite. I love the glitches.
