Has a professor ever treated you unfairly or simply just disliked you? If so, why and how?

I have this asshole I've barely talked to who grades me more harshly than my peers and dislikes me for no apparent reason. What the fuck is his problem and why does he want to ruin my grade average?

>> No.10194618

0. don't start with the premise that he is doing something wrong/being unfair, maybe you just don't understand where you did wrong
1. go to his office and ask to revise the exam/hw/assignment with him to learn what you did wrong
2. if you feel like he is being unfair or mistreating you, you can talk to the study advisors and then maybe even to the board of examiners

Thank you for the advice but I'm still in my final year of high school (not US). I talked to the principle last year and she sided with him for my last course (got a B). I had gotten 3 As but missed one exam which he didn't allow me to do even though I was sick. Not even a week later he let 3 students who asked him do the test because they were sick. Furthermore, he graded other pupils with worse exam results and with an A. This year I haven't missed a single test and have outperformed my friend as I have 3As and 1 B while my friend has 2As and 2Bs. When discussing grades this week the asshole said I would get a B while my friend with worse results would get a strong A.

It seems like he hates me but I don't know why. Seems like a man of no integrity honestly.

How can you justify a student with higher test scores recieving a lower grade than a peer when tests are the only type of examination.

>>10194691
Have you ever gotten on his bad side? A lot of teachers are bitter assholes, sure, but you may have fucked up somewhere and you ought to treat the problem differently. As >>10194618 suggested you should go out of your way to talk to the guy instead of venting here.

Shit like that can happen in HS. Talk to your parents about it, if you feel like this is serious enough (will stop you from getting in to a good uni). Otherwise let it go.
You encounter many assholes in life. It's not worth engaging with all of them. Sometimes it's best to ignore them.

One of my HS teachers was an absolute bitch. For our programming assignment I had created this awesome platformer game. Everyone else's project was shit in comparison. Instead of congratulating me she accused me of plagiarisation.

I have never ever gotten in an argument with him or even had a long discussion. Perhaps I remind him or something or someone but I doubt it.

>>10194700
Helt got 2As and 2Bs and I've got 3As and 1B.

>>10194701
I'm trying to let it go because I already have a good grade average but I have trouble coping with resentment. I have this strong urge to beat him up after I receive my grade as I don't have any other math course. I obviously won't but I don't know another way to relieve myself from resentment.

never do step two, it's a waste of time. Unless he's publicly singling you out and you have witnesses then this will do absolutely nothing. It should always end at step one, and you come at him matching his tone (for example if he's dismissive of you, be dismissive of his dismissiveness lmao)

You didn't answer the question. Your B might have been a highly weighted test while Helt's 2 B's are tests that weren't worth as much

>> No.10194777

>>10194762
No I got a B on the first test which all the other tests build upon. The points that I lost were all calculation mistakes. I don't recall what they were but I clearly remember trying to negotiate an A as I knew all the questions/concepts.
