this is probably false, but i have never been so scared in my life. my final grades for the spring semester come out tmrw. I am scared shitless. For now this is what I know:
APSY101-A
BFOR100- A-
BFOR203- D
BLAW220- A-
BACC211- C
The only grade that is not confirmed is the D. It is in my networking and cryptography class. This whole semester it has felt like pulling teeth with my professor. He has been so rude to me and dismissive. I have watched 2 people un-enroll from the class in front of him. This class is at night for reference. One guy came to class IN THE SNOW , no backpack, no coat, sat at the computer station pulled up his classes and dropped out of the class. He stood up said " I wish everyone luck on the quiz today. I'm dropping this class and you suck". He came to class only to pull that move to the professors face! I loved it. The only other people I have talked to in this class are either failing or openly cheating.
I have met with him privately and emailed him multiple times. The last time we talked I informed him of my worries about my grade which I had calculated to be a 54, or failing. He told me not to worry and that when he calculated my grade it was actually a 64, a D. This really confused me because I used the syllabus so IDK how he got a whole difference of ten points. I kept telling him that I'm relieved but i am still worried. He told me he thought of dropping lowest quiz grade and to try the hardest on the last quiz. I took this to heart!!
For the last quiz I scored an 100!! I was so proud. It was the last day of class. The previous week had been bad and I spent my whole weekend studying. These last few days I have been refreshing my grades on the website. In the syllabus it says ~8 labs will be graded. There is only 4. I knew the 3 from In-class weren't going to be graded but the lab from day 10 was missing. I thought I did well on that one so I emailed him being like hey were is it?? He told me he wasn't going to grade it anymore... HELLO?? I spent 6 hours in office hours even AFTER the TA left doing that and you decide not to grade it and not tell the class?? Thanks ig. So now I'm panicking. There goes an opportunity for more points to boost my grade up.
Grades are due tmrw and I'm terrified. He kept like making a face, not winking, but like reassuring "hey don't worry" so now I'm like what if he pulls some shit. I have no idea and I'm terrified. The website doesn't show any adjustments to the grade book to even reflect the last quiz we took on the last day of class. He has to add that. If he doesn't this feels specifically targeted at me. The only time I do well, and somehow pull off a perfect score, he doesn't add it.
All my other grades are A's. My gpa hasn't ever reached a 3.0. I'm at a 2.9. If I have two C's I'm pretty sure it can move up, i can explain to my parents that those two classes were pretty hard but my gpa went up, didn't fail anything. But if I get this one D. I have no idea what I'm gonna do. I'm terrified and everything is out of my control. My family is a mess and I hate being home.
