Gotta say my top three people I haven't met IRL on here are you, grote and joe table. Would love for you fools to come out. Ftn would be in there if he still posted.

Bc my travel schedule sucks so much in the spring and summer i'm never sure which weekends i'm here. I was just donating money in years past bc i'd get a ticket then not be able to go

Someone pissed all over the toilet seat and left it at work. I decided to leave work early to go home and shit. Disgusting

Worried about this getting locked, therefore not responded to but, I'll give it a shot...

So, I'm finishing up my perquisites for PT school. Taking Bio and Physics I this quarter, Physic II this summer. My physics teacher has been an absolute nightmare, she's completely unprepared for class, is constantly corrected by students, and takes forever to grade things.

We took our second test over two weeks ago, the Final is next week. Depending on that test score, I can either be carrying a very, very good grade, or an okay grade...I kinda like to know these things. There are also several "formal labs" still ungraded, 4/5 to be precise, and these labs represent 15% of our grade.

Anyway, today she sends an announcement to the whole class: Supposedly someone made an "official" complaint about her grading (lack thereof), and grading to give partial credit takes time. Because of this complaint, she'll "remember this" when it comes to grading finals.

You see...now I'm pissed. I'm not some petty high school kid, I'm an adult, and I've got PT school contingent on finishing my pre-reqs. I'm very not cool with some petty shit right before the final.

Thinking of forwarding this threat to the department head. Fuck this noise.

Thoughts?

Yeah, I would. You are paying her and it could directly affect your career/future.

This is my line of thinking, as well...

One other piece of info: the department head is teaching my summer course. Do I cause shit then take a class with him?

I would, but if there was a way of doing so anonymously that would be better. On the off chance the department head likes the teacher, it doesn't sound like you'd want her to find out it was you complaining.

Edit: This is to the first question. Think anonymous makes even more sense if you're worried about it also rocking the boat with the department head.

Yeah. She's so bad, though... can't imagine this is the first complaint. And mine is at least coming on the heels of the other, so it's not out of the blue.

What's her status--adjunct? grad student? tenure track? tenured?

There's probably a grade appeals process. I wouldn't do anything until you get your final grade.
