School. =[

So last quarter at CBC was going well enough. It took a week or so to get used to having three very different online classes, but I finally got the hang of it. Like most online classes, none of my teachers posted our grades during the quarter. They did it all at the very last minute, so none of us knew how we were doing in the class.

That's where my problem began, I guess.

I have been given a very unfair grade in my government class. I checked my grades (they were finally posted on the site three days after they were supposed to be!), and I had a 0.7 in that class. How did that happen? I turned in everything! There was a problem with the first exam (it wouldn't let me save any of my answers), but I had sent an email to my teacher explaining the problem and with the answers at the bottom. He wrote me back and said that he understood the technical difficulties and would grade my exam based on the answers I sent him.

Then, I had more technical difficulties with my city council post. I posted it on the 8th (it was due on the 12th) at about 4:00 in the afternoon. I refreshed the posts to make sure it was there, and it was. But on the last day of the class, I was going through all my posted assignments to make sure everything was there, but my city council post was gone. I sent my professor an email with the attached file and once again told him about stupid tech difficulties in WebCT, but he never wrote back.

Now, after I emailed him to ask why my grade was so low, he said I didn't turn in a whole bunch of assignments. Trust me, I did turn them in. I have all the files saved on my computer just in case something like this happened. I wrote him back and told him I'd send him the files to prove it (I had to ask what format to send them in). He wrote back and said that he had changed my grade to a 1.0, but since I "didn't post the assignments, he wouldn't change my grade to be any higher." If I didn't turn in an assignment, WHY WOULD I HAVE THE ASSIGNMENTS??? It's all very frustrating. And there's no other way to change my grade.

So now I'm going to have to take the class again. It's going to mess up my whole schedule. Great.

I HATE CBC sometimes. Like now.

Oh, and it's the second day of summer quarter, and I've already taken two tests in my English class. Yay.
