Today, I tried to turn in a final exam online. When I went to check if it had been submitted, Blackboard told me it did. My grade told a different story. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today I woke up feeling good and ready for my online business class final, only to find that it had somehow been submitted and graded with a zero. FML
Today, I went to check my grade, which was posted for an essay for my comp 1 class. I got a zero. I was devastated only to find out I never actually clicked the submit document button. My grade dropped 20 points. FML
Today, I was taking a final test online that would account for 65% of my final grade, for which I'd worked extremely hard. I had one submission for the test, and my roommate thought it would be funny to click the "Submit All" Button while I was getting a glass of water. I got a 13%. FML
Today, I turned in my final worth 20% of the grade. Today was also the day my internet decided to die. FML
Today, I got my results on a recent, important midterm. During the exam, I'd noticed my instructor had accidentally left an answers page in the test packet, so being honest, I didn't look at them. It turns out she did it on purpose to help us pass. I failed. FML
Today, I turned in my homework. Too bad I accidentally handed in the printed answer sheet I found online to copy from. FML
Today, I got cited for "internet plagiarism" and called to the dean's office. I'd been sitting a closed-book written exam, and my teacher had been breathing down my neck the whole time. FML
Today, I took a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. FML
Today, after attending lectures for months, studying for weeks, and spending hours writing a 15-page research paper, I was informed that due to technological issues during registration, I was not enrolled in the class. FML
Today, I found out that I have been studying for the wrong final exam. One more hour until the test. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Blackboard always has a confirmation screen you should screenshot and it sends you a confirmation email. If you did turn it in and have the email to prove it, go to the professor and the dean of that college. If not, then there’s not much you can do. I’ve had issues like this with Blackboard too, but I realized mid-semester luckily, not at finals.

sue blackboard for your entire semester tuition cost, they are incompetent trash and have been for over a decade, back in 2004 i got dinged on a lab homework where blackboard had said there were no assignments and there actually were

Don’t feel bad. Blackboard is designed to make everyone feel like an incompetent idiot, even faculty. “They” have to keep us humble.

Just like TurnItIn. Lost track of how many times I submitted assignments, double checked they had been submitted only to check a couple of hours later or even the next day and find that it is still marked as 'draft' and have to go through the submission process again.
