I am a senior in college, and I am having an issue with a teacher

I just got back from a job interview in another state that went really well, I am almost sure they are going to hire me, but now I have this issue. The company paid to fly me out and had an amazing facility. This spiteful bitch is going to not only fail me, but cost me a great job as well.


How is a college prof. unless they go out of their way to spite you will prevent you from getting a job?
If its really that bad I would take it up with the related Dean assuming your report really wasn't shit. What is the class if I may ask?

I had terrible professors however I have never had a professor that would go out of the way to stop me from passing. Even the worst ones would at least offer insight on how to improve or focus studying on.

They are going to hire me under the assumption I get a degree, if I fail this class I won't get a degree.

The class is called Business Strategy, it's just a bullshit course that everyone in the business college has to take senior year.

I just hope the dean can do something, I don't know if they even care about this kind of thing.

Sounds like your professor is being absolutely ridiculous.
I think talking to the dean is a good idea. If you clearly, calmly, and politely explain the situation I think the dean will definitely see that it's messed up.

Professor (not yours) writing here.

Do these things, in this order (stopping when you don't have to go further)

1. Go back to the teacher. Instead of being confrontational ("That isn't very constructive") ask for help - "What can I do to make it better or make up for the failure?"
2. If you get nothing from her, stay within the department and go to the undergrad adviser or department head. Here your argument HAS TO be prejudice - that in some way she is treating you differently from others in the class. (Did everyone else in the group get an F on it?)

3. Depending on how things are organized there, the head/adviser will either talk to the prof and report back to you, or arrange a 3-sided meeting and judge, or have an in-department committee judge. (This will be a matter of university policy, so they don't choose which one to use)

4. If you still aren't happy you can go to the dean - but now you will be claiming that the whole department has it in for you personally, which is very hard to argue.

Meanwhile there is another road. Tell the employer that your F in that course was the result of a bureaucratic error - someone in the office didn't register your withdrawal or something like that. Since all you need is another 3 hours you can pick up at night classes, they may very well give you the job anyway.

Thank you for that advice, I will try to do what you wrote out. Hopefully it all goes smoothly and I can start my career

Wow what a fucking bitch. She probably has a crusty vagina.

How old are you OP?

She's just your typical liberal college professor who takes things too seriously.

>I said that was not very constructive, and that really made her angry at me.
what'd you do next, call her a cunt? the fuck is wrong with you

There's obviously nothing wrong with him. A natural reaction to confrontation is more confrontation.

The abnormal one is the one who handles it well.

>>17813865
Fuck.

What uni do you go to?

Junior in college here. I would ask around for the average for their papers. If your grade is seriously off, then it might be that she graded it more harshly. Ask another student to read your paper and get their feedback if it is truly shit.

Go see the professor again. Kiss her ass and ask shit like "what can I do to make this better" or "im not happy with the quality of this work, is there a chance that you might regrade it if I majorly rework this?". Just stroke her ego, it is the quickest way to end this. If she is still a hardass, says no and gives no feedback on what went wrong: you need another approach.

If it isn't shit and your grade is way far off from the rest, go see the dean or the head of student affairs about the issue. Dont give a biased narrative, as theyll more likely let the case go than fire staff members. Explain the significance of this in terms of your job and explain that she hasnt graded other assignments yet.

Also, get a new group. It might be that she sunk you because of her relationship with some of your other group members. Even if that isn't the case, don't associate with people she is willing to fail.

Sorry.
*Average of other group papers
If everyone failed OP, ask her if there will be a curve in the class.

As far as i know everyone else in the class got a around a B, our group is the only one that got such a low grade.

Our paper as a whole is not bad, at least from what I have seen in other groups papers. I certainly don't think its worth the F we got on it.

I guess I start writing her an email to see her, thank you

Yea. I'd ask the professor what went wrong in the paper. Normally when this happens (if she is a libtard professor) you probably wrote something that either triggered her or she knows is wrong.

Ask her what went wrong and get another student who got a B to read your paper. If the professor can't give you a straight answer as to why your paper was "shit" there is obviously something else going on.

Don't go to the dean unless you know she is fucking with you. Bring a group mate with you to her officer hours. Make sure the 2 of you hear her explanation. If you go to the Dean, s/he will separately call in the professor for her side of the story. She will shit talk you if she is biased as you claim.

OP: you need to bring a group mate to her office hours, kiss her ass to get her answer to why she think the essay is shit, and get another classmate to read the paper. If you don't you're fucked because at the end of the day, it is your word against hers. Let me tell you from experience: Deans always believe the faculty unless they think you will sue. You don't sound like a SJW to me, so you're fucked if you don't have outside evidence.
