    The prof recommends the student repeat the course with another instructor. I had to repeat a few courses and found a new prof made a 100% improvement. I just wonder why some ppl OPT to repeat it with the same prof, several times. Maybe the prof's method of teaching does not correspond to the students method of learning. Indeed profs also ask their students why they don't try it with someone else.

    This clip makes me sad when I think of the students who slacked off in one of my college English classes. Clearly I was one of the few students who gave 100 percent effort and subsequently received an A. It broke my heart knowing that my professor gave the students many opportunities to ace the class. Sadly, some of them squandered it.

    I've seen people like this ...
    I failed an English course, once. It sucked. I worked my ass off, spent about six hours a night, every night, redrafting and perfecting each of my essays, doing everything I could to do the best possible work, and the professor still gave me 20% and 30% on all of them. Also, I always got 100%s in every other English course I've ever taken, and I didn't put nearly as much effort into any of those, so maybe my professor did just hate me ...

  • @bast963
    @bast963 12 років тому +5

    Student: "Okay, I got here on time all classes, have perfect attendance, I did all your work, I never used a phone, and I passed the final. Why do I have an F anyway?"
    English composition professor: "Because I am high standard jackass and your essays had errors that are really difficult for college students to notice. Also, you passed the final with a D+."
    It says something when the hardest course for half the majors in a college is the stupid English class you take freshman year.

    @Sallyallie89 12 років тому +1

    I thought college students actually geared themselves to pass, but once I got to college myself I realized this was far from the truth in the general education classes anyway, such as English. Clearly their parents are forcing them to attend college and paying their way through it, hence why the students are lazy. I myself want to get a career, so I am in college thanks to my dad paying for me to go, but I am actually passing! I'm down to my last semester in fact because I actually car to pass.

    @jfuhrer89 12 років тому +2

    It's funny because I've actually been in a class where the professor clearly disliked me, and then gave me an F. However, the reason I got an F was because I did almost none of the work. I recognized that and submitted no complaints about the professor's grading. It's possible that that the professor's attitude toward me left me less willing to complete the assignments, yes. But if you don't do the work, you don't pass the class, bad teaching or otherwise.
