Welcome to Gaia! ::

So right now I am dealing with a college professor that refuses to respond to my emails. I missed a assignment that I had done but wasn't able to submit yet due the Sunday before thanksgiving break. I missed it because I was traveling home, and I missed my flight because my bus was delayed due to unexpected snow and then had to wait a day in the airport (my stupid airport has no internet unless you are some member of some stupid frequent flyer club) and by the time I got home but it was too late to submit by like one hour. Before this I worked my a** off and was getting a 100% in the class. Now I am automatically at a B -.-

Anyways I have been emailing and emailing this professor and TA's. No response. Posted in the Q and A forum. No response. Called them. No response. Going to try and talk to the dean maybe they can get a hold of it. And I am currently freaking out because its 60 points which is an entire grade level.

I'm not really expecting much from professors since they are usually pretty harsh on students. But am I the only one who thinks most professors are unusually harsh on students but students always get all the blame?

Edit: Problem solved! Went to the dean, the dean understood where I was coming from so she found a way to contact this professor and convinced them to reopen it. Yay!

Anyways, anyone else had to deal with unreasonable professors?

Yeah they are when you are trying to go to medical school. Don't get me wrong I am not a neurotic straight A student. But for medical school you can only afford B's in classes like Biochemistry and Orgo. Not a random stupid class I just took because I needed 4 credit hours to get to a 12.

This is exactly why i posted in this forum. People always automatically take the professors side and call students whiny for having to jump through hoops.

No I am not being whiny. When you work your a** off all semester, study 20 hours for an exam, get 100%'s and beat the class average by 20%, and one little thing throws all that out the window, you would be pissed too. When you break your leg and have to resort to taking a cab every day because the professor won't let you be 5 extra minutes late for a class you are getting an A in, you would be pissed too.

Some profs don't answer E-mail, I've had those, if it is urgent enough you should get to their office hours as soon as possible. Most profs are understandable.

Yeah I am definitely going to try and hunt him down and explain the situation.

But I wasn't whining about my professor and whining about getting a B in a class.
He/she probably hasn't checked their emails because it's a holiday weekend. I wouldn't want students to bother me about stupid issues that is their fault, either.
