You failed to question just the question when you attacked his whole class. The grading scale, and all of that. You got off track immediately. That is where you were rude. You didn't handle it in a way that was respectful. If you can't see that, nobody can explain it to you.

Now, a tangent, that has absolutely nothing to do with you, or your professor. You can take it as though it does, if you wish.

What the fuck is up with the self-righteousness of American students now-a-days? They don't deserve shit, but since they've been well-fed and pampered for their entire life, the feel like they don't have dues to pay. Undergraduate students are on the bottom of the wrung. They have everything to prove, and have no basis to rely on besides their personality and intellect.

Education isn't easy, whether the material is easy to comprehend or not. Most of it is inane and trivial, but that isn't what it's about. This is about the student coming into themselves, and somehow evolving into a human that can use the information gathered and further it.

I'm an angry engineering student.. but somehow, my professors love me.

Edit: There is absolutely NO injustice here. None. You have no say in that.

No i am not some dance major, and i was a Comp E before i switched. I just switched last semester!

61 credits of general/IT Comp E. 4.0!

IT Physics 1/2
Calculas 1/2/3/4
Csci(Scheme)
Csci(Java)
Circuts 1

19 credits of Business. 4.0

All tests i have had that wanted specifics, stated so in the question.
I am only taking this nutrition class beacause i need health class, and i actually wouldn't mind knowing how nutrients work, so that i could myself tweak my food intake.

I find it hard to believe you passed calculus if you can't spell it. But I'll let that slide.

(This personal attack, as rude as it was, was brought on by a perception of tone.)

He wanted me to state specifically the exact difference which wasn't at all stated in the question.
It was only stated that describe a difference between mechanical and chemical digestion.





Walk out of the logic and into the feeling. Chemical vs Mechanical digestion is the stuff the "Lemon Experience" thread in the Psychedelic Experience Forum is all about.
Forget digestion. You lost that battle and you can't undo that. Period.

You probably are under high stress and it's showing by hostile ways of addressing people.

Explain how i am being rude. EXPLAIN! I would have never ever questioned it if i didn't know jack shit about the short answer.




Chill out a bit man!

Look, I'm telling you i'm noticing some stress and short-fuse temper in the way you post in this thread. It is a very important topic, you realize that. Focus on the feeling the guy has that you disrespect him. That has to change. Not by rational argument (you really should not disprove it :wink:) but by chilling out, apologizing and communicating. If he's reasonable then, like S_2 said, things will improve.

If you find that you don't really respect him theres work for you to do to at least handle that in a way that doesnt endanger your grades.

I am the third person and I see that he feels disrespected and that he might have a point.
You are not equals, you must remember that when discussing. He's basically the boss and you're his employee.

The reed is stronger than the tree!

He told me 4 points didn't matter when i talked to him in class that i would be fine.

He told me straight up i dont need the points.

I like all my points so i can slack off when the weather is nice and play some basketball or chill out at the lake.

I'd like to drink you to aid in both my mechanical, and chemical digestion.

Maybe the four points didn't matter. You should know that your grade depends more on how good of a student you are, rather than the mathematics behind scales.

There have been multiple times in my collegiate career that I have gotten a C or worse in a class, but the grading scale, but due to my relationship with the professor, I've come out ahead. Humans are social animals. We like other people's brains.

You are in for a real shock when you get into upper division comp e. Ha, especially if you want to start doing research.

I wont ever be in upper division Comp E, i am a biz major now. I didn't want to declare it when i reached my 60 credit limit. Something happened with me in circuits. I couldn't take it anymore. I can't deal any more with equations all day long, and drawing circuits. I had to take C++ next and i didn't want to deal with writing code, i found all of it extremely boring.

Its all about the money. Finance Major here.

I wouldnt mind being a pharmacist though... i probably should of went that route.

and here is the final e-mail, i'll have to do a face off with him in the office.

Mr. XXXXXX:

I absolutely refuse to have e-mail wars with you. My time is far too
valuable for such behavior. I'd like to see you in my office at 5:30 pm
February 27. You and I are clearly not on the same page.

You need to learn not to piss off those who are in a position to piss on you. You were really pushing it over a couple of points on a test.

along with this, a few of the words or the way the words were used do give a literary offensive tone. im not sure how to describe it but the moment i started reading your email you sent to him went "uh oh". when dealing with teachers you must be very tactful. when ever i have any arguments with my teachers i try very hard to be respectful and careful with words used, along with body language. if youre not good at self control and need time to think of your responses then an email is a good method, but with face to face you can smile while actually saying (with careful wording) something contradictory to what he would want you to say and he wont be offended.

yes maybe youre right, but its just a few points and the only reason you want it is so you can be lazy later, maybe he sees that. if i was a teacher and a student started bitching about a few small points in a test where it could go either way, then id say screw him and not give him the points. if he came up politely instead of demanding getting the points back, if he said it would help alot if he could get those points or do extra credit work to make it up, then id give the points.

a teacher is just a person, so although what youre saying is mathematically correct, emotionally its wrong.

well the emails are over anyway, i advice sucking it up and trying to be careful of the words you use to prove a point and not to be agressive like you are in your posts (and a little bit in your email to him). you pissed him off, the only way you will be able to even discuss getting the points back is to make him feel less offended.

we'll see how the meeting goes, and i understand he is in the position of power. But if he abuses any part of that in the future, i will fight back and try and get him removed.

Oh and i think he might be low on the scale of respect now, cause everytime i think about this, i get extremely hostile. Maybe some OCD or something.

you kidding me?

I work very closely with the president and all the people who run the place. Part of the senate dude. And the wonderful thing that the college gives us is power to review the professors and make decesions on who the college hires/keeps. Currently we are going over applicants for the new VP of the college. We literally are in the interview process.

I think i am gonna let him know that i took his comment of watching my tone with him as a threat. Cause i do think thats why i am going nuts.

And yeah, i do need to calm down... I have gotten to the point that i have thought about bodily harm on this dude.

Something really irritated me.
