Best of Fall 2008

Hello J,

It was great to have you as a Professor this semester. I am writing to see if you can please do the average of my quiz in order to have the grades of those two quiz that I missed. This has been a tough semester for me since I had to recover for two hemorroidals surgery that I had combine some other healths ploblem. I am a premed student and I am worrying about bringing my GPA down. Other professors have understood my situation in doing so. I don't even think that I did well on the final yesterday since I had a chemistry exam the same morning and another psyc class exam is coming thursday. So I have been making up my exams and doing finals at the same time, being a student yourself I guess you know how it looks like. I am really afraid of having a c in this class and I think you can understand my situation well than someone who has a career professor since you are a student yourself. I wish you well and I hope you help me solve this matter.
With much appreciation,
B

Um... other professors have given you credit for assignments that you didn't turn in just because you're premed? If you really did worry about your GPA, you wouldn't have arrived 20 minutes late to miss those two quizzes in the first place. I even allowed you to make them both up on the make-up date, but you showed up late again and missed the make-up session. Have fun in the Bahamas, B.



Hi j

I was wondering If I got over 90?
I had fun throughout the semester and you have a bright future as an instructor since you are still young. You were fair on grading and helpful. Well I did my part and studied hard but I never get multiple choice questions entirely right even though I eliminate at least two wrong out of four. My only concern is that my cousins are paying my tuition since my father left us. I mean the bottom line is I can not get a C and so far suprisingly my only C seems like from your class so thanks for being kind it was my failure should have done better on the first mid term.


Best Regards

Thanks for predicting my future, K, but I'm not going to do a damn thing about all the quizzes you failed/missed and the D you got on your first exam, although it's nice that you're finally taking responsibility for your grade. I hope you realize now that a full semester of antagonizing the instructor for your pitiful performance will only bring on the smackdown. I'm glad you're so concerned about your cousins; maybe next time you won't squander their tuition dollars.



Hello J, Thanks for a great semester. I found your class to be very informative, However, in light of last exam I feel I may be in jepordy of fialing your class. Is anything can do to come out with at least C-. it has been a hard semester for me. alot personal issues going on outside of class. I will use this break to refocus myself.

Thanks, T

This was was pretty painful because you're such a nice guy, T. But when you hand in blank sheets of paper as your essay responses, there's not much I can do to help. I did change my grading scale around to turn that 53% into a D instead of an F. Happy holidays!
