Ally Update from Hell! Excuse the rant, I'm just so pissed off words cant describe, and need to get it all off my chest.
So today was going great.
1)I got my next set of chapter edits back from my friend on AW who has been reading betaing, and proofreading/editing my first book!
2)I found out my ACS exam retake score. We were suppose to get national average which was a 30. First time i took it i got second lowest in the class with a 17. This next time i thought I wouldn't do any better but i got a 28!!!! Which for me means i passed!
3) I left from spring break getting my in class test score back from my one class that is literally killing me. I got a 40. Now you might think that is horrible, but out of my group, of four i got the highest score, in fact i got higher then alot of people in my class who got in the teens scores!!! (highest grade only in the 50's, average around 20-25) So on a curving scale i felt freaking awesome. I was so freaking excited. My adviser told me when i got back from break to ask what exactly my grade was, so i would know if i was still failing/doing horrible.
Then today's class happened. For our second test it was two parts, One in class, one take home. Again for the in class i did really well compared to the class, but today i got my take home part back. He gave me a 30! A F*&^ing 30! I wasnt ALL THAT WRONG!
So kind of devastated but still feeling my in class grade would pull me up I went to talk to my asshole of a professor to figure out what EXACTLY my grade was, a question i asked before and he yelled at me saying "Its like your asking me to sign a contract, i don't grade in exact grades". Sucking up my courage i went to talk to him this is how things played out.
He rolled his eyes and said "Well of course i dont have the exact grade"
"Well..."
"Your clearly not doing well you failed the take home."
"But on the in class..."
"You didnt do well on that either did you?"
"I'm not sure what 'well' on that test would be. I did much better then my group mates and many others in the class" I replied and he rolled his eyes again, then hesitate, finally replying
"That may be.... but your still not doing well at all. I dont know what you want else you want me to say, its not like it looks good for you."
Looks like its game over, even with the drastic improvment, clearly to him and his made up way of grading,(in which he just gives whatever to whomever he wants) it doesnt count.
Just got done emailing the Dean asking how to proceed and explaining all the effort and time spend on this course, after all its my second time taking it, and the ONLY class standing in my way of graduating.
I'm fed up and freaking done with it all at this point....
