Today, I discovered that when my professor had said "For every A there will be an F," he was deadly serious. I earned a 94% mark, which in this class is known as a D. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I finally found out why I got a D in a class last semester. It was a heavily attendance-based class, and apparently he only marked you present if you participated in class discussion. It was a 100-seat lecture. FML
Today, my English professor bragged to my entire class about how good my essay was. He kept on saying great things about it for the duration of class. To my surprise, he'd given me a C-. When I asked why, his only response was: "I'm a hard grader." FML
Today, the grades for one of my courses were released. The class average was higher than that which the department allowed, so the professor had to scale everyone's marks down to meet the policy. I ended up failing because my class was too smart. FML
Today, my professor handed me back a paper I spent hours hours working on. At the bottom in red it said "D" followed by, "That was a gift." FML
Today, I got a writing assignment back. After meeting with my professor specially after class and meticulously combing through every word of that paper, I got a low D. Turns out, he graded me down on every suggestion of his that I took. FML
Today, I got back my math test. Instead of taking the time to mark the mistakes, my professor just circled the bottom half of the page and wrote "OMG." FML
Today, I got the best grade in class on my economics midterm. Rather than tell me I did a good job, my professor criticized me in front of everyone about how I was working "too hard". FML
Today, as I went into my calculus class, the teacher announced that someone had received a negative grade on the test we were getting back. I laughed and said, "Which f*cker managed to get a negative?" Turns out I'm the dumbass. FML
Today, I found out I got a 97 on my physics final exam. I was curious about the question I missed, so I went up to my teacher and asked. He was very confused and checked my grade again before telling me, "Oh my bad, it was meant to be a 79." FML
Today, I went to get my midterm essay grade thinking I couldn't have made lower than a B. Got to class and my douchebag professor gave me an F. He wrote "Best essay I read, would've been an A if it was the right topic." I wrote on the Industrial Revolution, instead of the Scientific Revolution. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Not that bad... Well don't let a bad grade get you down :)

OP got 94% and got a D for it. That's bad, in fact it's shit.

That's bullshit, you should leave a bag full of dog shit on his desk with a note saying "thanks for the bad grade dick".
I_lost_the_game 25
I believe it's "Thanks for failing me, bitch!"
ICastillo 25
Ya but this teacher is a male. So I changed it to dick.

That is grounds for speaking to the dean.

exactly what I was thinking. unless the department you're in has specific grading curves and you knew about it from day one then your teacher has no right to grade that way.
br0ccoli 15
Exactly. In no way should a 94% ever be a D. A-/B+ is possible, but a D?!? C'mon.

32 - it would be very unusual for them not to know from day one. In every class, at every college I've ever attended, grading is explained in the syllabus.
Michaelsgirl04 9
that was my point. I was in a medical related class and the department had a grading curve in which you had to get an 84 for a C. It was bull (in my opinion) but it was in the syllabus so at least I knew how hard I had to work
mikeymayhem_87 15
Either there is steep curve on grades or you missed 94% of the questions. Otherwise, this FML is pretty damn lame

Wow...I know guys on meth that make more sense than this college professor
Il_Maestro 6
Perhaps this professor is on meth. It would make for an interesting lecture.

Wow that isnt fair and thats retarded
Knash 3
How us that even possible? It wiuld be funny if thus was a math professor you were talking about.
SliceOfCake 9
He was most likely grading on a curve.
tommys_cool123 4
It would also be funny if you learned to spell
perdix 31
If the average is 97%, then that sounds about right. Too bad your professor can't figure out how to write hard tests:(
TheSithAssassin 15
If the tests were any harder, OP would still probably be on the lower end of the range. OP probably wouldn't complain since it would be more obvious.

Grading on the curve, can have it's backlashes.

Thats not fair!
