Another weird thing is he asked me to submit it. I don't understand why because it's campus policy that you can only turn something in up to two weeks after it's due and after that you get a zero and you're out of luck, and it's been almost a *month* since it was due. So what's the point in submitting it?  |

TGF...It does seem a bit odd that he asked for you to submit it so late, unless he was trying to prevent you from getting an "incomplete". I'd do what he says, be normal to him, and not make any waves at this point. Some teachers are vendictive and on a power trip, so you don't want to take that chance. I'd just tow the line for now and due your best, submit a great video, and shoot for the moon. Good luck my friend, I think things will work out...Corolator...  |

See if you can talk with him about your concerns. Sometimes a chat helps things on both ends.
But if he is being unethical, talk to the head of your school.  |

For those that have suggested going to a higher up, I don't really want to mess with that. If I do that then they're going to talk to him, which is going to create HUGE awkwardness and friction between he and I. I am going to have him for 4 more quarters (IF i can stay in school!) so I don't want to chance getting him irked at me. Or even other people in the photo department. It may not bode well for me.... :\ |

The annoying this is he hasn't done anything like this this quarter yet, or last quarter either. I'm wondering why now, at the end of the quarter, when grades are most important to me and i have the most stuff to do, would he have to do this. |

Nani: Yes my average would have been brought down but a bit less, if he'd left the points possible for the assignment at 40 (what it was when he assigned it to our class), instead of 100. Like I said, he change it from the assnt being worth 40 points (for anyone who were to do it) up to 100. So I am wondering why he didn't grade the stinkin thing before he changed the points, or even changed the points to begin with. |

When he changed the weight/value of the grade, did he do it just for you or did he do this for every student across the board? If it is only for you, then it is VERY wrong. If I were you, I might wait to see how you do on this last assignment. If your grade is good enough, I would let it slide. If it is not, or he seems to be petty in the way he grades it, I would definitely go speak with a dean.  |

Mydnite Son: he changed it for every student that will take his class in the future, as far as I can see. STILL, as I've said several times, it wasn't that he changed it; it was the fact that he changed it and then GRADED me on it. If he had graded me on the 20 maximum points it *had* been, it wouldn't have dropped my grade lower than it needs to be. Instead, it dropped it 22 percent! |

and btw, I figured out tonight that the last assignment would still leave me several percent below where I need to be to keep my financial aid, even if I got the full 100 points (which I'm sure I won't; the video wasn't good enough for that). |

SOOOO... I'm going to talk to him again, and hope that he is willing to either give me an extra credit assignment, or grade me on one of the two 100-pt assignments I never got in. If he doesn't, then I'm flat out of luck and can kiss my school career goodbye. Unless a move of God occurs. LOL |
