What do you want to be/study?
college might be a meme and waste of time and money
>>37738538
you realize the prof did that on purpose cause they wanted to exert their power over you right? they either didnt like you or something you did.
>>37738538
they obviously would make any bullshit excuse not to accelerate you since the more classes you have to take the more semesters youre gonna be there for (and paying for)
if youre in that profs class again give him a terrible review at the end of the semester for lulz

I took the class pretty serious but I was quiet pretty much the whole. I never did anything for him to not like me unless he just hates quiet awkward guys.
>>37738656
Oh I definitely will.

Being quiet is usually grounds for a teacher to not like you. They seem to take it as you're not trying hard enough. My 8th grade math class was rather disruptive and the teacher had to calm people down a lot. I always sat there quietly and listened. The teacher had the gall to tell my mom in a meeting that I was quiet and didn't talk a lot and I should work on that. As if I should be a disruptive fuckwit like everyone else I guess.
Although it's possible that she noticed I looked at her tits a lot and didn't like me because of that. She had fucking amazing tits.

That's a pretty crazy passing grade. I would take it up with his superior. I missed a programming exam in college as well as a bunch of other kids because the prof fucked up in listing where it was to be held. I would of had I think a B+ or A even without the exam, but you need to have at least 50% on all exams, as well as I think 60% overall, so he failed me. So I took it up with the chair, explained the situation fully and showed him my marks and he told the prof to pass me.

I'll try that anon, thanks for the tip.
