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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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
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
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 got back a paper after a peer review. I had worked really hard on it over the last week and was proud of the end result. When I got the paper back, the only positive comment on the paper was, "Well, I really like the blue staple you used to hold it together." 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 an email from my professor with my grade for a paper. It said, "Solid writing, but you should have proofread your final draft more carefully." In a moment of annoyance, I typed in the reply box, "God should have proofread your FACE more carefully." My elbow hit the send button. FML
Today, I had to proof-read a terrible paper containing a bunch of mistakes. It took me 4 hours and I didn't eat dinner until I was done. His response when he got it back was, "What the fuck did you do to my paper?! You bitch!" FML
Today, after I'd being sick all day, my boyfriend volunteered to do my very long sociology paper. I was later notified by my professor that the paper I'd submitted was completely plagiarized. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Spending hours working on something doesn't mean it was any good. You should think about speaking with the writing tutors on your campus.

Why do people believe that just pouring time into something will automatically make it good? If I spend an hour taking a dump, while you spend 15 minutes, we'll still both just end up with a pile of shit. Spending copious amounts of time on something, especially if it's significantly more than others would spend to do the same task, is NOT a sign of extreme effort - it's a sign that you don't really know what you're doing. Spending hours writing a paper doesn't matter in the slightest if the paper you end up writing is on the wrong topic, or you didn't follow the directions, or if you can't string together a complete sentence. That time would be better spent learning to write a good paper.

I signed up specifically to upvote this - it is very true, and something that many people do not understand. Still, I do have sympathy for the OP.

Or maybe OP just wrote a really shitty paper...

Or maybe the professor is a dick. I'm leaning toward that option, since he felt the need to add a snooty comment...

Sick tat. ^^^ Maybe you should ask WHY he gave you a D so you know what needs to be improved on.

25-1 kd isn't that impressive.

Well it kind of is. That's 1/3 of his team's kills and he went the whole match dying 1 time. But it wouldn't be impressive though if most of his kills came from a gunship or other killstreaks

How long did it take for the tutors to help you write this?

That was on Nuketown :) And most of my kills were with using my kill streaks, which is actually why I died. If I would've been on my gunner when I first got it I probably wouldn't have died at all. Thanks for the vote of confidence. ;) My final correction is that the 'he' needs to be changed to 'she'. Lol @ the tutor comment. I assure you I didn't take up /that/ much of their time during the composition of my brief FML comment. ;)
