Im not really sure what I'm hoping to get out of this thread, whether its just a vent thread or if someone can actually help, but here I go
>take class online for the summer
>notoriously bad at online classes
>I actually do very well with the quizzes and assignments
>I keep up with the subject matter for the most part
>start to get more slack on studying
>quiz grades still stay the same though
>take the final
>get 95%
>last thing to do in the class is write a final paper: 5 pages
>for the life of me, I can't think of a compelling subject matter to write about
>end up finishing the paper a couple days late
>its a bit short and bit rushed, but I turned it in before the cutoff time (I think)
>without the paper I still "pass" the class with a ~60%
>now I just wait for it to be graded
>and wait
>and wait some more
>the paper is still ungraded and my final grade in the class sits at a D
>in my student portal, the final grade in the class says D
>I just emailed the professor about it
Am I fucked?? Can I do something about my grade? Even with it late, and short, I should be able to at least get a B or at maybe a C+ at worst
What should I do?

First of all, make sure you really understand you fucked up and it's your fault. Then, along with your professor there should be some sort of academic advisor you can contact as well. Get into contact with them as well. Be polite, apologetic, and willing to take whatever opportunity you're offered. If you're lucky things can sorta work out. Good luck, hope you can stop being an idiot. I couldn't

I know that I fucked up
If I had studied more, and read all the assigned readings/watched the films more thoroughly, I could have had a more concise idea for writing a paper. If I planned better and followed the plan the professor set up for us (take small steps throughout the whole class to get ready for the paper) I could have easily gotten all the work done without rushing and I wouldnt have had to turn things in late.
However, I did write the paper, and I did turn it in technically on time so I think that I at least deserve some credit.
