Teacher messing up.

I agree, OP.

>Is it reasonable to demand that my teacher automatically give me a 100% on a two-hour, in-class assignment which she lost?
No, it's not.

>She said that she would simply omit the assigment, but quite frankly that isn't fair to me. I've completed two hours' worth of material which would have most likely raised my mark.
I imagine she's not just going to write off that percentage of your grade, she'd just adjust your grade accordingly. So it you all the other work was worth 70% and you achieved an average of 75% for all of it, your final grade would be 75%.

Here's the problem: if his final grade in the class is 80, that means she's basically giving him an 80 on that assignment, which he may have deserved higher on and would have resulted in a higher final grade. All because of her fuck up.

>>18559873
But he could also have flunked the assignment and received a 100% he doesn't deserve.

Not to mention, there are almost always university guidelines on what happens in situations like this, and she's probably just following those.

>>18559876
It's her mistake, so the benefit of the doubt has to go to OP.

>>18559889
Then she'd have to give everyone 100%, otherwise OP is disproportionately advantaged by this. That's why the guidelines I mentioned often say that your final grade will be scaled up.

It's the same if you were sick or a family member died and you couldn't make a test or exam. You don't automatically get 100% because 'it's not your fault', your overall grade is just scaled up as if that test or exam didn't exist.

>>18559862
what if your paper was shit?

no fuck that, fuck you for demanding a grade you may or may not have deserved. You should demand to resubmit it. Demanding 100% is childish and unrealistic.

>>18559902
Scaled up how? I don't understand. Does the teacher omit the assignment or give the assignment the same mark as the average?

>>18559909
The latter, which is essentially the same as taking his average grade and making it his final grade. Unless OP is prepared to redo this assignment, it's almost definitely the best he's going to get.

>>18559926
So if he has a 92% overall, the missing assignment will be worth 92%? That sounds reasonable.

>>18559862

Is she attractive?

>>18559902
She literally lost an assignment that he completed. Your comparisons about missing an exam are bad comparisons since you just go take the exam later if that happens. He did the work, she lost it, he deserves the theoretical max grade. Is it unfair to others? I'd say no since they'd have the same benefit if the teacher lost their work.

>>18559957
If some kid came and demanded that I give him 100% on some assignment cuz I misplaced it, I'd laugh in his face. I might consider it if every other assignment they'd turned in had been flawless, but I doubt OP is in that position. If he was, omitting the assignment wouldn't be a big deal

>>18559983
If you lost a student's assignment and then proceeded to potentially punish them for it, then you're an unequitable shit bag for sure.

>>18559989
Giving them their average grade for the lost assignment is not punishing them. On the other hand, giving them 100% is rewarding them, rather than compensating, which is what SHOULD happen.

>>18559997
If you're actually a teacher, it must not be in anything math or reason based.

>kid has 79 average in the class
>works ass off to nail his final paper worth 20% of his grade
>you lose it or accidentally get cum on it after jerking off to loli porn and throw it away out of shame
>"sorry anon you get a 79 on it, enjoy your C"
>not a punishment

>>18559997
It's not a matter of reward. It's not even a matter of grades anymore. It's a matter of how you can - without inferring what the results were, because you can NEVER know for sure - compensate them. Turns out the only way is to give them the maximum potential mark.

>>18560006
Are you an idiot? A 79% average is an AVERAGE. It's not the same as a total grade. I'll illustrate using an example:

Say that a course has five pieces of work, all worth 20% each. One of them is the one that is lost. For the other four, you get 65%, 70%, 80% and 85%. If the teacher were to substitute the average grade of the four other pieces for the missing assignment, the 'grade' for the missing piece would be 75%. Looking at it another way, the teacher would be making each of the four assignments worth 25% of the overall grade.

This is not the same as not receiving ANY credit for the missing assignment at all, which is what you seem to think we're discussing.

>>18560013
>Turns out the only way is to give them the maximum potential mark.
No it's not. You're right in that you can never know what the real results would be, but the most accurate way to estimate it would be take the average of every other piece of work and use that as a substitute grade.

>>18560024
You are the fucking idiot here. Making each item worth 25% is identical to making that assignment worth the average of the others. In other words, there's no way for the student to raise his grade with that assignment, which does matter, all because of teacher incompetence. That's unfair.

The same thing happened to me in my last literature class. I had an 89 in the class and my dipshit teacher misplaced a project that I've been working on for two weeks. She flat out told me that I didn't turn in the assignment and I had to argue with her until she gave me the class average which was below my average grade and it brought my grade down. Needless to say, that dumb cunt found my assignment and gave me the 100%. She didn't even apologize after accusing me of not doing my work. Just do it OP. Since your incompetent teacher lost it then they hold full accountability and should compensate you for their lack of responsibility.
