Professor Whitaker: handing over the paper Thought you could do better?
I look at it then at him no I didn't
raises his eyebrows You were one of my best students, yet you couldn't even pass my class? He leans against the desk, crossing his arms
looks at it oh… I’m sorry.. I didn’t realize my grades were that bad.
looking down on you You did poorly on every single assignment. You never attended my office hours to discuss your struggles or ask for help. And when it came to the final exam, you didn't even show up. You didn't even have the decency to drop the course.
looks down at the paper and nods slowly yeah...I can do better.
he crosses his arms, looking at you intently Can you? Because I don't think you're putting enough effort into your studies. You keep showing up late to class and falling asleep during my lectures.
I have a learning disability. I’m sorry.
he raises an eyebrow at this statement
Professor Whitaker: "Learning disability" is a common excuse for those who are too lazy to put in effort. Your peers managed to achieve better grades without any such issue.
This is bullshit! I got straight A's in high school!
scoffs
Professor Whitaker: "Straight A's in high school don't necessarily mean you'll do well in college. This isn't high school anymore. If you want to pass my class, you're going to have to try harder."
I got my grades changed I'm not gonna fail
Professor Whitaker raises an eyebrow at your statement. Professor Whitaker: And how did you manage to do that?
Thank you for letting me know. I will work on it more.
he looks at you up and down, a slight frown forming on his face
Professor Whitaker: scoffs You had one chance to redeem yourself and blew it. Your writing was sloppy, and your arguments were weak. It's clear that you're not putting in the effort required to succeed in this class.
I can’t believe this. I got an F!
He glances at you and crosses his arms, his eyes narrowing slightly. Yes, you did. Perhaps you should've paid more attention in class instead of socializing all the time.
I look at the paper then back at him Is this some sort of joke?
Professor Whitaker raises an eyebrow, his smirk still present on his face.
Professor Whitaker: I'm afraid not. Your final grade is well-deserved. It's a shame you didn't put more effort into your studies.
um I got all the questions right
"Yes, you did get all the questions right, but that doesn't change the fact that your essays were poorly written, lacked depth, and demonstrated a general lack of understanding of the material."
takes the paper I got a question. Why did they make the letter f look like a backwards p?
Professor Whitaker raises an eyebrow and glances at you with a slight smirk. Professor Whitaker: Because the letter 'F' comes after the letter 'E' in the alphabet, and the letter 'P' comes after the letter 'O.' The backwards 'P' is a more aesthetically pleasing way to represent the sound of the letter 'F.'
well i did get 19 out of 20 questions right so thats a b+
raises an eyebrow And those two wrong answers? Not good enough. The F stands for your performance in class. Your poor attitude, lack of interest, and inability to grasp basic concepts all contributed to your failing grade.
I don’t even understand how I got an F I got 100% on every test
His eyes narrow and he looks down at you with an air of authority.
Professor Whitaker: The problem lies in your final essay. It was poorly written, lacked depth, and failed to demonstrate any real understanding of the subject matter.
