Dear Dr. Know-It-All,
After reading the warning of comments on ratemyprofessor.com, I still don’t understand why I thought my grade in your, ever so important, course would be nothing less than an A-. Your former students warned me of your pompous attitude, ridiculous exams, and discussions that have nothing to do with the course material. Yet and still, I thought my die hard studying skills would get me through. There were times throughout the semester where I knew I should’ve dropped the course, however, my B- average told me otherwise. I figured, “Hey, just get an A on the final, and at least you’ll end up with a B+…right?” WRONG!! I ended up with a C in the course. Dr. KIA, please tell me how my only three grades in the course, C-, B+, and A-, still afforded me a C in the course? I am dying to know how that happens, here, in the real world. You see, according to your [half-assed] syllabus the first exam was worth 20%, send worth 30% and final worth 50%. According to MY math, I should’ve gotten an A-. But hey, what do I know. According to you, I (and all your students) never know more than you.
So, in order to try to understand your reasoning behind giving me a C, I sent you an e-mail asking to meet with you, at your earliest convienience, to discuss my final course grade. What do respond back to me? Some bull about you not being in town for the summer because you are traveling here and there. Ok, thats fine Dr. KIA, but trust and believe that we WILL meet to discuss this mis-hap at the beginning of the Fall Semester. You see, thanks to my university, I have a year to dispute my course grade. You better belive I will be using that right to its fullest extent.
So Dr. KIA, have a great summer. Pick me up some knick-knacks during your summer travels, and see you in August. Until then, I’ll be shooting off e-mails to our new University President asking her how in the HELL are you still teaching here…and I use the term “teaching” VERY lightly.
Wishing I took the course during summer semester instead,
-Nina
P.S.: Note to self- Next time, believe the majority of the negative comments on rate my professor. Former students DO know what they’re talking about.
