Neither. Rough day.

I'm having some intra-departmental drama that I'm having to deal with around final grading (and students whining/begging about those grades). Too much fun, so I feel your pain.

NO sympathy for whiny students who want a better grade than they've earned... NONE. Extenuating circumstances aside - if they didn't do the work they get graded for only what they did.

Yup... I can understand wanting a better grade, but students seem to inevitably ask about improving their grade when the semester is over and done: not when, you know, they could actually work with you to improve their grade. I don't think they realize this translates to "even though you have about 100 other students, can you make an exception for me even though my work didn't earn it, pretty please?"|

I'm more than happy to help a student with their work during the semester, but after is just... ugh. So far, I have one student asking where she went wrong on her final paper, which earned a B. And a student frustrated that he didn't ever get full points on homework assignments over the semester. Even though he never, ever talked to me about it DURING the semester.
*sighs* If only they would ask for help when they could actually benefit from it.

Ha! I'm the opposite.
I'm that student that sent the instructor a message 24 hours before the midterm saying I couldn't make it due to a job interview (which i didn't even end up getting) all in accordance with the test makeup policy.
She says she never got it, and I wouldn't be able to make up the midterm. I had to jump through so many friggin hoops to prove that I really did send the message (it was even via the school's own messaging system!) that I finally was able to take it. Two weeks late. On a day I normally have no classes. Ugh.
I better get full credit >.<
...
That is all. I feel better now. >_>
