In reply to my prof yelled at me (long), posted by peddidle on February 28, 2007, at 21:52:38
Hi Peddidle,
I can understand your prof being upset that you arrived late for the mid-term, but he didn't have to treat you so poorly about it. Cutting off your alloted time is just plain rotten. Especially so he can eat lunch. Like 10 more minutes would have made it impossible to go eat something? I don't think so.
Has he ever asked why you are late for classes? Just yelling at you and threatening to lock you out of the classroom doesn't seem to be a very good solution to the issue. Maybe you had a very valid reason for coming in late for the mid-term, he didn't seem to give you a chance to explain it, which I don't think is right.
Keep in mind I haven't taken a day class in a very long time and profs are more lenient for evening classes as most people are coming from work or need to wait for a babysitter, etc. In my class tonight the instructor waited 15 minutes to take attendance because the weather was lousy and the campus is downtown and parking can be hard to find when there are sporting events and/or concerts at the nearby facilities. Day class profs might be more strict on being late, but I don't know.
You said that your extended time to take exams is a necessary accomodation and I think that your prof needs to be reminded of that. Can you give him something in writing from the person/department that granted the accomodation?
I'm sorry your jerk professor made you cry. I hope your T helps you tomorrow.
