#this student has been the ultimate grade grubber for months#like to the point it’s genuinely so unprofessional and boundary violating#when he failed his first assignment he sent me around a dozen emails demanding a grade change#even begging for an A in caps lock at one point#and when I explained why he can request a regrade from a different TA but his grade from me is final he full on confronted me in person#like found me in a hallway and confronted me on the fact I quote need to change his grade#and when I said no he confronted me before class again too#until finally a prof stepped in and was like that’s your grade so shut the fuck up. then he listened#but I had to GET A PROF INVOLVED#I’ve taught over a thousand students!!! in high fail rate classes!!! NEVER experienced anything CLOSE to this#over a dozen emails demanding a grade!!!#well he got his final grade for the class and he’s livid#homeboy’s argument is that he did the bare minimum so he deserves an A. it’s like no that’s not how this works#you did the bare minimum so you get the bare minimum passing grade.#and so now he’s sent me literally half a dozen page-long emails accusing me of being an unfair grader and having corrupt grading practices#and demanding his final grade be changed after the fact because he believes in his heart of hearts he deserves an A instead of a B+#last email was sent Christmas Eve and I was like your grade is final from me. I’m on vacation. contact me when vacation ends if necessary#only to get a new page-long email further asserting I don’t know how to grade and basically conducting his own investigation of my work#ngl I laid out in clear methodical detail how subpar his work is and how he couldn’t compete in any world with high grade papers#and then let him know in no uncertain terms that his grade is final and he should never contact me again#gave him the info of who to ever send a follow up question to instead of me moving forward#and then added in a professional manner that his behavior is UNHEARD OF and he should never act this way again in his professional career#I should feel bad for being so direct with him I feel like but I don’t suffer someone thinking they can walk all over me#it takes a lot for me to put my foot down but when I do I think I prefer to crush all resistance in a single move#oh well 😅#can’t wait to see how this turns out lol
