Dear my (first term) psychology professor,<\/p>\n

I know, you had stage fright issues. It was obvious from the first time when you stuttered and said ‘the’ maybe five times in a row. It was even more obvious when you continued with this pattern throughout the rest of the term. And I do know that the final exam time that the school set for the class that you taught was the second to last day of the exam period and I know I was expecting a lot from you to have the final grades posted when the rest of my professors got their grades post.<\/p>\n

But I wrote the final for your class on December 21st. Yes, I know there were a lot of students and I also know that there were 8 short answers and 2 essays to mark per student. But this was on the 21st. Of December. Of 2009.<\/p>\n

It’s now January 3rd, 2010. Term 2 starts tomorrow and frankly, I can’t fathom what could have hindered you from getting the marks out before<\/em> the new decade began. You even mentioned that we had to write our names and student numbers on all the pages because it would be separated<\/em> for marking purposes. That implies that there would be more than one marker. Probably like 3, considering there were 3 pages. And I know you’re a very busy man.<\/p>\n

But at the same time, might I remind you, that the new term starts tomorrow.<\/p>\n

And this was not a two-term course.<\/p>\n

So, that being said, I would like my final psychology grade for Infant Psychology soon. Before I have to go to your office and ask you for my grade. I’m so incredibly grouchy when I have to go to a professor’s office when I don’t want to be there. I’m sure I’m not the only student who’s wanting to know what they got in the class. While I’m positive that I did not fail the class (because that would be rather sad), it would be nice to know what I got in the class for other purposes.<\/p>\n

Like calculating my term GPA. Like knowing where I rank, in terms of averages, with the rest of my peers.<\/p>\n

And also just so I don’t have a glaring blank looking at me when I go and check my grades transcript.<\/p>\n

Because, you know, I wrote the final on the 21st. It’d be nice if you could pick it up a little and actually get the grades out.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,
Michelle<\/p>\n

P.S. Don’t they have some kind of deadline for submitting grades? Also, you were fully ineffective as a professor and I learned more from the textbook than I did from you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
