Last week I finished one of my assignments for class early so that I could focus on my longer term assignments. I posted it as soon as I was done five days before it was due. Unfortunately, Iapos;m half stupid or something and forgot the click "Attach" after selecting which document to upload (Iapos;m used to just selecting the document and when you send the entire message is when it attaches). Realizing this was likely the case, the professor gives me the opportunity to submit proof that it was submitted on time. So, after making sure that I did attach the document this time, I went and did a Print Screen of the folder that contained the assignment with the mouse over it to give full details and show that the modification date was just minutes before the original message I posted which was five days before the due date. I even cropped the print screen so that it would be easier for her to read (plus she doesnapos;t need to know what all I have on my desktop).
This professor is currently working on her PhD in Education, so I definitely give her props. Sheapos;s a cool teacher. However, for a teacher whoapos;s been working with online classes for years, she should know computers well enough to tell when sheapos;s looking at a print screen (the cropping should have made it damn obvious). She explains she canapos;t open the folder that was dated the day the assignment was due. So Iapos;m thinking, "You actually tried to click on a cropped print screen to open a folder that was a part of a picture?" o.0 What gets to me is that the folder sheapos;s talking to is the contents for a totally unrelated assignment (okay, related skills, but a different assignment due on the last week of class). The assignment in question is clearly highlighted and shows a totally different date. Sheapos;s so focused on that people turn their assignments in as late as possible itapos;s completely unthinkable that I may have actually had it done beforehand.
So now Iapos;m minus 10 points out of a possible 100 for the entire class. That means Iapos;ve already dropped to an A-. Now, granted, I could be at this point all because of my stupidity for not clicking "Attach" before sending the message. She didnapos;t have to give me a chance to prove myself. But what pisses me off, is she gave me the chance, and then when I have proof, it doesnapos;t count because she, yet again, doesnapos;t understand something basic about computers. This isnapos;t the first time she has proven that she is only as good at computers as the most basic easier than just user-friendly kind of user. How has she been teaching at online schools? I mean, sheapos;s a great teacher, no doubt, but she shouldnapos;t be working at schools that require so much of class participation to involve computers. So because she doesnapos;t realize that the .jpg file that she opened was infact a picture of a screen shot from my computer and was too closed-minded to see that the file dated days prior and highlighted with the exact same filename as the assignment in question was the one she needed to be looking for, I have lost my shot at 100 with all the core assignments worth the most grades due this week. Donapos;t offer me a chance to give proof if the only proof is going to be foreign ground and you donapos;t want to put the effort into understanding it.
Oh well, this is the same professor that explains the class as being an introductory class to prepare us for all our other classes so that we wonapos;t be steered wrong. Then when I point out a discrepancy between her "if it just says anonymous, treat it as unknown" in APA format and what the book has to say. Unknown and Anonymous are too very different things. The school requires us to have this book because every class requires all of our papers follow this format. However, she says to do it her way. So much for preparing us for success in all our other classes.
