    The prof recommends the student repeat the course with another instructor. I had to repeat a few courses and found a new prof made a 100% improvement. I just wonder why some ppl OPT to repeat it with the same prof, several times. Maybe the prof's method of teaching does not correspond to the students method of learning. Indeed profs also ask their students why they don't try it with someone else.

    If your time is so valuable why are you on TH-cam griping about how unfair your teachers are? By the way,how exactly do your profs threaten your career & future by judging your work? They don't give you a grade,you earn it. Yep,on occasion,you may recieve a grade lower than you deserve but if it happens often you may want to look at yourself. We all took & had to pass unrelated classes. Nobody owes you anything. It's up to you to go out & get it. If you're college material,shut up & do the work

    Student: "Okay, I got here on time all classes, have perfect attendance, I did all your work, I never used a phone, and I passed the final. Why do I have an F anyway?"
    English composition professor: "Because I am high standard jackass and your essays had errors that are really difficult for college students to notice. Also, you passed the final with a D+."
    It says something when the hardest course for half the majors in a college is the stupid English class you take freshman year.

    I've seen people like this ...
    I failed an English course, once. It sucked. I worked my ass off, spent about six hours a night, every night, redrafting and perfecting each of my essays, doing everything I could to do the best possible work, and the professor still gave me 20% and 30% on all of them. Also, I always got 100%s in every other English course I've ever taken, and I didn't put nearly as much effort into any of those, so maybe my professor did just hate me ...

    This clip makes me sad when I think of the students who slacked off in one of my college English classes. Clearly I was one of the few students who gave 100 percent effort and subsequently received an A. It broke my heart knowing that my professor gave the students many opportunities to ace the class. Sadly, some of them squandered it.

    I thought college students actually geared themselves to pass, but once I got to college myself I realized this was far from the truth in the general education classes anyway, such as English. Clearly their parents are forcing them to attend college and paying their way through it, hence why the students are lazy. I myself want to get a career, so I am in college thanks to my dad paying for me to go, but I am actually passing! I'm down to my last semester in fact because I actually car to pass.

    It's funny because I've actually been in a class where the professor clearly disliked me, and then gave me an F. However, the reason I got an F was because I did almost none of the work. I recognized that and submitted no complaints about the professor's grading. It's possible that that the professor's attitude toward me left me less willing to complete the assignments, yes. But if you don't do the work, you don't pass the class, bad teaching or otherwise.

    The prof may very well have odd expectations. You have no control over that but you failed to adjust to those expectations. That's part of learning how to think, how to adapt & you didn't do that. Pretty much any path you take in life you will have to deal with difficult people in one way or another. If you work for/own a company there will be difficult clients you will be expected to deal with & adapt to. See the point I am making here? Learning to deal with those situations is part of college
