I never thought I’d be angry about doing well.
One of my professors has no idea what they’re doing, at all. It took her 4 weeks to return a test, and she started the class basically giving us a “you suck” speech.
Here’s the kicker though, 4 of the people who failed this first year level test were fucking 5th year grad students!
There is 0, absolutely 0 fucking chance that 7 out of 8 people should fail this test, and even less that 4 of them are fucking 5th years. She barely explained what she wanted from us, and then gave us feedback 2 weeks before the final! And has the gall to not even entertain the idea that she’s at fault for this.
What did I get you wonder? A 97. How?
I do not feel I earned that test. I don’t feel accomplished that I won a rigged game by just saying the right things.
This test was massive btw, a grand total of 15 pages worth of writing, 20 sources, and it took me 20 some hours of work.
When a vast majority of your class fails, you barely explain anything, and fail to give feedback, it’s fucking on you.
I refuse to believe that 7 grad level students who I’ve worked with personally, some of them a hairs breath from their PhD, would all fail a first level midterm. Some of those guys are already professionals, one is the head of an entire fucking ward!
This is absolutely unacceptable.
