Sad Teacher

Dammit, my internet got turned off and I just paid the bill is not an acceptable reason for your final not being in on time.

It's also not an espository essay either. Where do these kids learn to spell?

Thank you for handing in your ezposatory essay on time. Next time, take a moment to spell expository correctly.

@temper_temper Yes you do.

"Critical hit for Wall of Text?" "Yeah, something like that. Use a hard return, paragraph breaks won't kill you, kid."

Uh... WTH is so tough about following directions?? You all must think I type these things up for my health.

1) condescending "here's what you should do" attitude, 2) conspiratorial tone 3) psudoscience and faulty logic 4) lack of citation.

I know what the problem is with their writing style: they write everything like it's a magazine article in womens magazine:

Or, y'know, pay for a legitimate copy of Word. Whatever.

Dude, I don't care if your asgnmnt is a screencapped .jpg of your out-of-date trial of Word at this point--just quit whining and get it in.

@temper_temper I'd say Tempy or Tempie. I lean toward Tempy though cos I think Tempie looks a little southern. And reminds me of pie.

PS, no you are NOT allowed to flame your fellow students regarding spelling and usage errors. It's MY job to make them feel bad, not yours.

I've said it before, I will say it again: I DO NOT GIVE FULL MARKS JUST FOR COMPLETING THE ASSIGNMENT. Is this third grade!?

Bad, BAD cheaters. Of course, GOOD cheaters are never properly appreciated by the system because they are never caught.

Mostly because it's about public speaking. And the sources you're trying to use are the required readings for Public Speaking. *sigh*

Yes, I know you recycled that outline from your public speaking class.

Noooo, you don't get points for just trying real hard. I actually *do* grade these things. *sigh* #studentemails

And I'm only whining because I have HAD pregnant students before. THEY got their work in before the assgn due date and their OWN due date.

I'm glad your wife had a baby. Did YOU have the baby? NO. So why is your homework late? *grumble grumble*

I *know* this is a complain professors have had since the dawn of time. I may have perpetrated this a time or two. But OMGWTF!?
