Irritating
Students are irritating the hell out of me this week---- I have had (no kidding!) 15 kids come in freaking out about their failing grades. Seriously--- emotional breakdowns. Tears, confusion, emotions run rampant.
And it turns out everyone of them was confused by the instructions "if you have a blue test, mark it test #1 on the bubble sheet; if you have a yellow test, makr it test #2"
Really---- you are in college! Follow instructions. I should take points off becuase they don't read the board and listen, so I have to have a stream of emotion through my office when I got my own business to take care of.
(Please note: I know people make mistakes, I make them all the freaking time. The real issue is the way that they come in demanding to see their tests and claiming that the computerized grading system messed up, not them).
