Thanks everyone...I'll try not to let this get me down. I know that I'll still get my degree even if my GPA scores are low and I know it won't matter to the outside world...but keeping my GPA up is a personal thing for me; It means a lot to me. At the moment my GPA is 3.69 but that's gonna change after this stupid class.
Try to start all over again. Review the material anew. Re-engage the professor if you can. If all else fails, guess what? Who gives a rats crap?
It's too late to withdraw without having some consequences on my loan. Failing isn't an option really because I'd have to retake it but have to pay $710. up front before I can continue with my education.
She shot down everyone's GPA but mine in the entire class. Everyone, including me, complained to administration about her, and she was actually let go by the University.
Yeah, that's a good idea. I think I will talk with the others to see if they are having trouble. I don't like the fact that I was docked for more points when he wouldn't answer my emails or answer the phone. Then I wouldn't really get help...just, "well, you need to Google it and you should have your answer".
Right now my grade is at a 61.37% . I know that it'll come up but he's making it tough to bring the grade up from criticizing the hell out of everything. I'm hoping that with my final he doesn't do that too much because that will either make or break me.
All of my professors have graded my work on whether or not I understood the assignment and did good with the actual assignments. They would recommend this or that on the writing style but wouldn't take points off since I'd do perfect with the assignments.
With him, if I forget to add a period in my references, or say (pg. instead of p.) he takes points off of all those little details. I'm NOT in creative writing anymore and those little things can be mentioned but not taken off for points....sheessh.
BTW- writing in APA means totally different to each of my professors. One may want me to use "p." for page while the others want me to use "pg." for page. I use the APA manual and I've noticed many things can go either way and sometimes it's up to the writer to choose the (small stuff) styles. As long as it's doubled space, title page, numbered correctly and with a reference page...I don't see why all the points need to be taken off.
