I feel that my Biology prof. is manipulating me /sci/.

I went to his office to look over my lab exam because he doesn't let us take it. For the whole last page he gave me zero on three questions (15% of the test) plus some other questions. I told him my reasoning to the answers and after he could not justify the zeros he said "you know, I could give you a couple marks for these questions, but in the grand scheme of things you'll still fail." Most of the other marks he took off were for mis-spelling phylum names and stuff. Whenever I asked him to explain one of the answers he'd start being cocky and ask me things like: "what do you expect to do after this class anon? do you see a future for yourself in science?" what should I do... this guy is an asshole in lecture too

maybe if I keep on feeding this fire of people flaming me, I'll get many alternatives.

I thought of talking to the dean before I made this thread. The reason I made it is because I thought people on here may have been in similar situations in the past.... guess I forgot to assume that everyone here is an absolute "prodigy"

At my college we get to rate how the prof. taught us throughout the semester. He does not allow us to tell him how he did.

Here's the thing: You say you're scared of going to the dean. What do we take from that? You don't want to follow our advice. Obviously we no longer care about what you're going to do, because what we advise you to do has no bearing on it any more. All you are is entertainment.

report him to the highest authority in the university

Ideally, get a written response from him about your marks first

It sounds like you got the questions wrong and he gave you zeroes for them. Then, after you complained he decided to give you pity points. He was asking you about your future because you're failing his class. What did the professor do wrong? Other than your friends thinking he is an asshole.

Go to the program coordinator and explain how much of an unreasonable piece of shit he is. Tell them he's done nothing but kill your motivation and will to study/succeed in not only his classes but the others as well. Tell them that a lot of other students feel the same way, but you notice he's been especially crude and unsupportive towards you.

>> No.4543654

You're probably an annoying piece of shit or something.

No prof who likes you would do that. Secondly, failing shit is pathetic and I can understand where he's coming from; you probably dont take it seriousyl so why should he
