Today, after finals, my English professor left me less than one percent from an A. Why? All semester long, he took away points because my opinions did not match his. FML
I agree, your life sucks 45 778
You deserved it 3 721

HI! I appreciate sympathy. I wasn't expecting it, but it makes me feel a bit better. Thank you. XD It is (was) a college level English course (the last one I had to take for my GE requirements). I really did try hard in that class. I would ask him very specific questions and he would provide vague answers. His opinion on the material was never explicitly clear (considering every assignment we did was based upon a different work or subject). I'm not displeased about getting a B, it's just frustrating to be left so close to the next grade!

Damn, that's the most retarded reason I've ever heard for docking marks. FYL.

Once you saw the points going, you should have just kept your mouth shut. Lol. Seriously, the professor can't possibly expect everyone to agree with him.

Opinions are still not facts? That's your opinion.

I home the dark lord Cthulhu takes away a year of his life for every time he acts like a dick.

They will end the reign of Cthulhu very soon. The age of Them is coming.

Sue the bastard. End of story. He can afford to lose some cash if he's docking points for opinions.

The answer can't always be to sue someone.

I'm gonna sue you for being an idiot.

My English professor flat failed me for the exact same reason. Consider yourself lucky.

He can get fired for that. Plus that messes with your GPA. I'd grow some balls and report him.

Not if he has tenure, which I'd guess he probably does if he's decided he can just grade people however he likes regardless of their actual skill and effort :/

You get a F because you don't obey like a circus monkey!
