What is the most insulting comment a professor has ever written on your work?
Blue Kitty:
When someone pulled the "You know how much I don't care" thing with any member of a group I was in, we made the time we had to work with them a living hell or just generally ostracized them. One time we actually made a kid leave class crying after some of the group had a bad day.
JD:
I haven't got anything really bad. I have written a short story the night before it was due. I lost sleep but got an A the next day.
Wacky, huh?
Social Bacon:
I hate group work. If people don't do their fair share of the work I'll just do it all. Actually, I usually just do it all anyways because I don't trust anyone else to do it and am much happier relying on myself.
I had one sociology teacher tell me my opinion about mental health institutions was wrong. But she also wrote "watch your grammer" on that paper, so I wasn't very worried.
toohey:
I had a creative writing teacher write "You make me hate my life" on a paper. In all fairness that may have been the intention...
Elizzybeth:
One professor crossed out my entire introductory paragraph in red and wrote, "Totally re-imagine the intro. See me on this," and when I did, he told me that it was way too general, the paper never really went anywhere, and overall my writing could use tightening. I was in my third year as an English major and had just started working in the University Writing Center: writing was my whole life, and it hurt to be told I was bad at it. But I really liked him as a professor, so I ended up taking two more classes with him (and, ultimately, getting a letter of recommendation for graduate school from him)--my writing DID improve a lot. It's still terrifying, though, to see a gigantic red X over your first page when you get a paper back.
Another professor, in a GE sociology course, accused me of plagiarism because he didn't believe I was smart enough to use as many three- and four-syllable words as I did. Or something.
