Today, I found out I received a "D" on my ethics exam, not because I did not know the information or did not follow the correct guidelines for writing the moral arguments, but because according to my professor my moral values are wrong. FML

To answer some questions: I attend a public university (ECU), and the professor teaches closed-minded ethics. If you take anybody's cultural background or own personal beliefs into consideration when determining if what they did was morally right or wrong than you are wrong. There are no gray areas and there are no extenuating circumstances to change that in his mind.

wow what a bitch. that is completely wrong and you should definitely report it! hopefully the problem can be resolved and u can either retake it or have it graded more fairly... she could get fired for that =

I completely agree that your professor is messed up. The same thing happened to me in my religion class. I told my teacher that I did not believe anything we were learning, and she gave me a F on the next test.

There's a guy in my science class like that professor. He not fanatical, but when I bring up that I'm agnostic he starts talking about how "I would explain the truth to you, but I don't wanna crush your beliefs. He stopped when I asked him what happened to all of the dead before the C.E. came about

my major is criminal justice...how is that worthless?

if you do anything, do this strategically. don't go to the dean immediately, confront him personally, and hold off on telling the dean until after you talk with the professor. use the dean as leverage, and if he can not provide you with a clear reason why he failed you, then tell the dean. I'm no expert, but I have the feeling that getting the dean involved would be time consuming. but I might be totally wrong.

Hey, that happened to me in Morality last week.

I had a psychology teacher that only taught HER views on psychology. Dropped that class fast.

Hopefully, you took this matter up with your dean.
