    Ok, I'm taking a 100 level ethics class through University of Idaho's Inde-study. The intro assignment was to practice writing an argument paper, 2 pages, use the word "because" a minimum of 4 times and underline it :) choose any topic....
    So, after waiting 3 weeks for a grade (the drop deadline..JUST closed yesterday), the grad student sends me back a grade of 70% with nothing but hostile comments about my topic! CLEARLY personal, and clearly not about anything related to the assignment other than her blankiety-bleepity "same sex" liberal NOW bra burning 21 year old opinion agenda.
    <lol, sorry...deep breath>
    My blood is boiling, but I want to be sure I'm not over-reacting. I need someone to read my paper and her comments before I send her an email. I have to submit over 100 written pages for this course (?!), and to be frank, this course should be an easy A. I'll drop this course like a hot potato before I take a C (or an A- for that matter), but hey, maybe I'm an idiot and did "C" work. I'm not above constructive help. I need a second opinion ASAP. I need someone to read my paper, it has her comments on it.

    Jen,

    Send it to me - you should have my work e-mail. If not, look me up on my work directory: www.lco.edu

    No outcome. I'm over it.

    *In another thread I just made a comment about being enrolled at www.ocean.edu, I wanted to say againg that this instructor is NOT from that Ocean, the course in this thread is through the Universtiy of Idaho.

    Gee, and I was getting ready to fly to Idaho and make her an offer she couldn't refuse. No fun for me. ;)

    You could still do that, but I don't think she'd take an offer from a man :)(boooo, bad joke)

    Dear cookderosa

    You might have a good reason to be mad, but comments like these do no good.
    You acknowledge that your comment is bad joke, then why do it. You lose any moral high ground you had.
    I love this nation but I am saddened by loss of civility.
