Scarecrow17 04/01/22 2:30:42 PM #1:	So, I'm taking a class called "Cell Biology Lab" and we had an exam on Monday. I studied for the exam, looked at the lecture slides and exam review, and so on. Mind you, this is the second exam in the class. On the first exam, I got a B. Anyways, I took this second exam and got a F. As I was taking the exam, I noticed there were a lot of questions about topics not on the exam review. Hell, I looked at the lecture slides after the exam to make sure and we never covered this information in class. It was quite literally new information not taught to us. We don't have a textbook for this class so everything on the exams is supposed to come from the lecture. I was really upset about failing obviously. I come into class yesterday and find out everyone else either got a D or a F so it wasn't just me. Nobody even got a C. According to the teaching assistant, our professor saw that the class average for the first exam was a 80%. It's usually around 70%. He came to the conclusion that most of us cheated on the first exam and decided to put material we couldn't possibly know on the second exam to "stick it to us". Now, a lot of people are afraid that they aren't even going to pass especially since his finals are notoriously difficult. The average for the first exam was probably high because a lot of us in the class, including myself, took "Molecular Biology Lab" last semester which is 10x harder than Cell Bio Lab. Therefore, the first exam was a review check for many of us since it covered mostly basic shit like how to use a light microscope. This is not how you solve a cheating problem if there even was one. --- His foundation lie in the holy mountain. Selah. <cite>Scarecrow17 posted [p:963939604] in My profess...

Scarecrow17 04/01/22 2:50:09 PM #9:	I'll try reporting him but I don't expect much to happen. There's an organic chemistry professor on campus who mocks students that can't answer his questions by telling them to drop out of school and go work at McDonald's. He's been reported numerous times over the years but nothing has happened to him. Seniors and graduate students have resorted to telling the freshmen and sophomores to not take him if they can help it. My university has become really shitty over the past few years between the faculty strikes, budget cuts, and enrollment drop. It's honestly depressing. --- His foundation lie in the holy mountain.

Robot2600 04/01/22 2:59:47 PM #10:	Ask for a meeting with him, explain calmly why this was unfair and that just because the class did well is no reason to assume the class was cheating. Have a suggestion: just don't count the last test, or curve the test since no one made a C. Make it the least amount of work for him (asking for a redo is asking him to do more work). Anyway when that goes poorly, tell him you will contact the head of his department (Biology). Then find out who is the head of his department, and send them an email asking for a meeting, saying you had a meeting with your professor and that the results were not okay. You'll probably get a meeting and can explain the situation to them. Dress nicely and be calm for your meetings. If you teacher IS the head of the Biology department, then you should find the Dean in charge of that department. Don't get a Dean involved otherwise. --- ( o _o) <cite>Robot2600 posted [p:963940368] in My profess...

Dakimakura 04/01/22 5:37:53 PM #35:	I wouldn't take other students word at face value including the teaching assistant. Most students are very prone to being lazy and blaming the instructor for their own failings. Looking for any excuse they can grasp on to. If you believe it to be more than mere exaggeration then you should for sure report it. They have these systems in place for this very reason. First you should talk to the professor and work towards a solution with them. Not only is that following the standard procedure of reporting these types of issues, but also could clear up a possible misunderstanding. It would also benefit you to get as many witnesses as possible and for sure get the teaching assistant to agree to cooperate. --- This is signature Not waste of data at all <cite>Dakimakura posted [p:963944336] in My profess...

Scarecrow17 04/01/22 6:21:16 PM #38:	COVxy posted... Yeah, that's bullshit lmao. It's not. There is nothing on the lecture slides or exam review talking about plant information at all. The exam review only mentioned knowing information about Caenorhabditis elegans(transparent nematodes), RNA interface, SDS page, and immunoblot theory. He never once lectured over any information regarding plants at all. Another student in class asked him if we were supposed to know anything regarding plants for that exam. He said and I quote "Yes, plant information was on the review page" which is an outright lie. I checked multiple times and so did others. There's nothing on that review page or in the lecture slides mentioning plants at all. Several people rolled their eyes at him when he said that because they knew he was full of shit. Those unfair questions on the exam were not requiring the student to actually think about the material instead of just regurgitating information. There was no way for any of us to answer correctly aside from a lucky guess because he never went over the material. I am well aware of how to make tough but fair questions since I used to tutor chemistry on campus and conduct Supplemental Instruction sessions for students struggling in chemistry. You are not supposed to present a question to a student who has never learned the material especially if it's for a grade. He was out of line for what he did and you cannot say otherwise. If I fucked up on the exam, then I would admit it. The teaching assistant I mentioned is a no nonsense, always serious type of person. She rarely jokes around with any of us. Teaching assistants can't really joke about this kind of stuff anyways. I've had this professor last semester and this doesn't seem out of character for him at all. Students have been calling him an unapproachable ass for a while with good reason. I was hesitant to approach him last week when I bended a metal spatula in lab by accident because I know how he can be. Some days, he's in a joking mood. Other days, evens the TAs avoid him as much as possible because he can be very unpleasant. I'll mostly likely do what other users have suggested and see if some of the other students class in want to do anything. This situation isn't ludicrous, either. I've had high school teachers do similar things to spite their class. Before you say that's high school and this is college, several of my professors used to be high school teachers before they became college professors/lecturers. This happens more often than you think when people let their position to go their head. --- His foundation lie in the holy mountain. Selah. <cite>Scarecrow17 posted [p:963945360] in My profess...
