My professor was really mean to me two nights ago, and it is just starting to sink in.
I sent her two emails, one telling her that I got half of the assignments turned in, and the other one saying that I had all of them turned in. Both were returned.
So I wait a few days, and then send her another email, asking "did you get my emails?" It was a courtesy email, because I wasn't sure she had gotten them. She sent back a really sharp email, saying that she had and that she would email me every time she graded one of my assignments.
Cue Monday night. She approaches me, and tells me that she will get everything graded soon, and that I should "stop complaining about my grades." She points out that I have a 93% in the class, and that it's nothing to complain about. I get really insecure, and start apologizing.
I feel terrible, mostly because I couldn't stand up for myself. And I know she is under stress; the class is 3 weeks behind, and we only have two weeks left in the semester. But that was
no reason to have a go at me, because I was never complaining about my grades!
It says in the syllabus to email the professor, once you turn in a late assignment, so that they know how to grade it. I was just going by the syllabus.
And now I have the problem of having to email her again tonight, and ask her where the homework assignments for this week to do are, because they sure aren't up on Blackboard!
