did this warrant a 50 on my final exam?

[Music Fiend]

TL;DR
- semester final project was due on my bday
- had fam I hadn't seen in years surprise me before class wanting to go to dinner.
- missed class but tried to turn it in before class via email.
- professor didn't accept it via email
- A+ work gets a 50/100 dropping my A to a B in the class.
- I'm mad because it's not like I didn't offer to turn it in with proof it was done and it's not like I missed my presentation.




So my accounting final was a project where we make a full 10K Annual Report for a company. I ended up with a B in the class because he gave me a 50 on the final.

It was to be turned in (in person only) the class before the last class and presented on the last class.

The day the project was due was also my birthday.

An hr before I had to turn in the project in person. My brother shows up at my apt door by complete surprise. He's a sarg. In the military stationed in Alaska, I hadn't seen him in 3 years.

He was heading to a training in Mississippi and his commander allowed him to fly into his hometown instead and drive the rest of the way the next day so he can see his fam.

So he pops in and wants to go to dinner before he lives early in the AM. This is a late class 8pm, so I hit my professor up. No response.

I offer to send in my project so it's accounted for and explained why I wouldn't make it to class. Hoping he'd allow it. He hits me back at like 11pm telling me I had to turn it in next class but he's not sure what he's gonna do with it and that I can't send it in.

This project took over 30hrs. I come in next class turn it in in person, present. He never updates my grade. Grades are turned in and now he emails me and says he gave me a 50. Even though it was A+ work.

I'm pissed off.

Yes it was warranted. Welcome to adult life, how old are you?. Employers also have no-fault policies so it good you learned this lesson early.

 

[Yehuda]

Yeah you fukked up.

 

[Tunez]

You pissed of for what, you did it to yourself you knew you were suppose to turn it in on that day

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Man all I got say is that you should have confirmed that it was ok to do so, before going ahead with it. Yeah most people in academia are cut-throat.

Okay. Just making sure. I'm 24. I get it, but half the project off is a bit harsh. I don't want to be entitled and maybe that's exactly what it is. But I busted my ass in the class.

Not sure why he couldn't have just peeped the project before class via email to verify it was done then just have me bring it in.

I don't see any difference between the two. Rules are rules, but seeing as to how I had the highest grade in my class. and a strong track record, I'd be penalized harshly.

For me the only reason to take off points is because a student is using the extra time to do a project they never did.

 

[PortCityProphet]

yep. thats all on you playboy. should have told fam to wait you got to handle business

 

[the cool]

If I was the teacher I would of gave you a 30

You think you got privileges fukk boy? Welcome to the real world

 

[Osmosis]

Is your family not understanding?

Yep. Obviously I'm being an entitled Biatch.

You right.


But it was my birthday. Class at 8pm to 10pm, bro I haven't seen in 3 years shows up for the night only. Da fuq am I supposed to do. Tell my bro I gotta hit class and get back to the crib at 1030/11pm.

 

[Paradise]

I wouldn't have given you a 50... but some points would have been deducted because it wasn't turned in in the proper fashion. This is just a hard lesson you learned....

 

[Tunez]

Yep. Obviously I'm being an entitled Biatch.

yes, that's exactly what you should have done.

it's not just turning in the assignment,. there was also a presentation aspect you're completely ignoring.

this is a good life lesson for you, because if you had a presentation to do for a real job, and you bailed so you can celebrate your bday w your brother, you'd probably get fully fired, not 50% fired.

 

[yyy]

Ehh, it's a dikk move by the teacher to be honest. You def should have turned it in in class but the military angle changes things. Regardless, one grade won't make or break you and in the long run the time you spent with your brother will be more valuable than the difference between an A or a B.
