Today, I asked my professor what happened to the assignment I gave him several weeks ago. Turns out he lost it, and graded me zero as a result. Now if I want a mark, he says I'll have to hand-write it all over again, but that I "probably shouldn't bother," because it was "a bit shit, really." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, after turning in a paper that I worked really hard on, I got it back with a grade of 0. In the feedback section, my professor wrote: “In all my 37 years of teaching, this is by far the worst essay I have ever read.” FML
Today, I found out that my entire class, me included, has to rewrite the painfully difficult midterm we wrote last week. All this because the Professor left the exams strewn across her desk. The cleaners thought it was trash and disposed of them. FML
Today, I got a paper back that was given a zero for suspected plagiarism. Everything I wrote was my own thought and analysis. My instructor basically thinks my paper is smarter than I am. He won't listen, even when I explain my thought processes throughout the piece. FML
Today, I got a history project back that I worked very hard on. The teacher didn't bother to write any feedback, besides, "Did you even understand the assignment?" on the back. FML
Today, I had my teacher look over my essay before turning it in. He said it was extremely well-written, so I handed it in. When I got it back, the feedback he left said it was one of the worst essays he'd ever read. 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, I met my teacher after school to talk about a paper on which he gave me a low grade. I told him that I felt it was wrongly graded and he agreed. He lowered my score. FML
Today, I confirmed that my professor hates me. Weeks ago, I failed a paper for the first time, so I went to my professor, apologized profusely, and discussed my revision plan. I got his approval on my conclusions and added all the details he suggested. I then submitted my paper. I got my grade this morning: C-. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

your professor is a piece of shit. I'm trying to think of advice that doesn't involve rebellion with brownie laxatives or extreme bloody violence , but nothing coming out ....

Some professors are just jerks. Unfortunately you can not prove he lost it. If he has tenure even if he admits he lost it there is nothing you can do over which i hate to say it really nothing. I mean look how long it took them to fire the coach at penn state that knew about the sexual abuse and then people still protested it Since he is actually willing to take it again ball is in your park. You can do it again and do a better job or take the zero. Most importantly remember not to take anymore of his classes. I know I will get thumbed down but it's the truth.

My only complaint with your comment is the fact there isn't always a choice in what classes/what professors are available/need to be taken. Everything else, bang on. Been there, and believe me there are a lot of dickish professors. They all think they're right.

If you're referring to me, I don't always think I'm right.

If you have it saved on the computer then i don't see the big deal. you could just copy the text from the computer on to a piece of paper (hand written). if not then fyl.

First off.. Amazed a professor lets you hand wrote anything!!! Re-do it and make a photo copy of all your work.. He sounds like an ass and he's getting away with it

You provided a hand written assignment? I think the professor's response was incredibly unprofessional, but if the assignment had been in electronic format you could have minimised the impact of this problem by being able to provide another copy and requesting any feedback in writing.
