I wrote a very shoddy paper and emailed it to my professor yesterday.

1) Ignore it
2) Write him a calmly worded email explaining how nonconstructive his criticism was.

Wrong. His criticism was constructive. It clued you in to the fact that you [censored] up. Could he have had a bit more tact? Sure, but he also could have just graded it as is and [censored] you over.

Suck it up, he did it in private; the only reason anyone knows about it is because you're sharing it here. Be thankful he let you redo the paper.

Try editing your paper or maybe reading what you write.

you turned in a paper that you probably never even proof-read. why do you expect him to spend a ton of time giving you thoughtful criticism?

i dont understand how u can complain at the end of your post he never gives feedback and then cry when he does give you feedback. write him back an email thanking him for looking at your paper early and you not having to take the class over, why would you be a retard when he went out of his way to help you?

6) Send an email thanking him for giving you a second chance on a paper you did a horrible job on your first try.

also, don't send in work with poor punctuation and grammar. It is a clear sign of no effort.

Welcome to the real world, where no one owes you anything. Wait until your boss calls you an f'ing idiot one day...or just buck up a little and don't send in crap work

Seriously, I think you're lucky he didn't just fail that part of the project or whatever for wasting his time.

i think the haters are a little out of line on this one.

the professor is obviously an [censored] who sucks at life.

but its not worth fighting the fight imo, just ignore it and walk away.

finally, apparently it sounds like you had a baddish paper. i can sympathize somewhat since i have a hard time catching really basic typos, my brain just doesn't parse english well (probably in large part because i spend nearly zero time studying it). ultimately though, you need to fix the typos or be willing to take some flak for it.

if the professor flat out dismissed the content due to some typo, he is a huge nit. content should come first when evaluating ANYTHING, people who get caught up in the minutia by default are either nits or very dumb people. since he is a professor, i am guessing he is just a huge nit.

Goofy,

I don't like it when professors call me dumb, but if I turn something in knowing it's crap and they tell me it's crap, I don't mind at all because I know it's true. I've gotten a few rude comments ( [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]), but I've always deserved them.
