i'm the creepy psycho poo poo but if you're going to knock me for anything put it in the grading matrix because the syllabus for professionalism made no mention for cell phone usage.

If that's the case bring it up in an email. Then depending on their response talk to them directly.

Stupid poo poo happens in academia. It's stupid, doesn't make sense, and pisses you off, but in the end, one grade is about as significant as getting a PCS award or some dumb poo poo.

Two spring semesters ago I got a B simply because the professor couldn't do loving math, even though I had an A on every single lab and exam, including the final. Apparently, the person who would have taught the course retired a few weeks before the semester, so the school had to find somebody in a hurry. They dug up this muppet from another school nearby that I'd never loving heard of, and he wound up "teaching" (if you can call it that) the subject on which he had zero experience (seriously, zero). The end of the semester approaches and this guy tells us how the final will be structured: it will contain four programs, of which you must write solutions for three. One of those he even gave in advance so that we could turn it in ahead of the final, leaving plenty of time to do two more programs (this is important) during the exam period.

Now, all of the lazy professors love to use Blackboard these days, because you can just punch in grades and it calculates each student's grade for you. Because the final would need a total of three solutions, he set up the final in Blackboard to take three solutions for the final. In his infinite wisdom, the professor also created another graded item weighted similarly (but not exactly, because he don't math gud) to represent the problem given in advance. Again, three out of four programs need to be written for the final. I turned in a solution for the problem given in advance, totally killed it, no problem. The final comes, I knock out the other two programs, submit my code through Blackboard, and go home.

Come to find out after the fact that, because of the bizarre way that he set up the scoring for the final, I got credit for only two problems even though I had submitted all three (that first problem was also separate item). Thus, because I only got about 2/3 of the points (again, did not loving add up correctly anyway), my grade for the final was dogshit and my course grade dropped to a B. On top of this, because this ding-dong was only brought on temporarily, he didn't have an office or leave a way to contact him. No loving way to get it fixed and chew his dumb rear end out. :mad:

gently caress, he was a retard.

Anyway, that's my story, thanks.

e: Jesus, I spend way too long typing this.

I honestly wish I was stoned/drunk all the time, I haven't gotten stoned in forever and I barely ever drink. I'm just a loving ball of rage pent up and it's taking it's toll on my health. I don't go blowing up on people but it's right underneath the surface and it's killing me. My fault for joining the infantry and being a young dumb idiot who wanted to "defend his country" like right after I got out of highschool and Iraq had just kicked off.

I'm trying to sign up and be a club officer with our scuba club, which is thankfully not under investigation for anything (yet). I'll get to plan trips/charters, this should be a little more fun :) Our rec center is running spring break trips to various places to go kayaking, hiking, etc. I've been on a kayaking trip with them before that was pretty chill, give your rec center a look and see if they offer anything like that if you're looking for a little something to get into. Also, the kind of person that is interested in leading a kayaking trip will likely know exactly where to find some good weed if you don't have a good local hookup yet.

Every organization I've worked with only sends sanitized hardware into China and when it comes back they never let it touch their network again. Possibly paranoia but sometimes that's good.

I'm the guy who will ask questions on the spot while everyone stays quiet whispering to the person next to them for clarification instead of just asking the professor.

Office hours are your friend. Talk to your professors if they work in your chosen industry, even if you don't have specific questions.

I made friends with all my professors (well, most of them) and I managed to secure two research assistantships from a department that didn't have money for more than one at a time. I used this experience to get another gig externally, which I then ultimately used to get my current big kid job.
