How am I doing in the class? Terrible. Everything is worth hundreds of points and I've probably missed out of hundreds of points. Some of the work I try to do very well gets many points taken off. I proofread my papers, but I'm sorry I'm not the greatest writer. I can talk your ear off, but when it comes to my writting, I know my writting is bad. I know that and is constantly reminded of it. I don't have anyone here but me, so its up to me to find corrections without a second opionion.
I feel that I'm too far behind to catch up. Yea, there's bonus points and still time, but I've lost so many points doing it all will still give me an F. I'm extremely bored and don't know what to do.

I know it's a lot of work in this class and it can be frustrating when you do the work and get points off but it's similar in every class. Maybe if you looked more for things about HIV or AIDS in your everyday life you would be more interested. Ever since I started taking this class I've noticed more news articles about HIV or AIDS, I've seen the topic in everyday life and it makes me more interested in the course. Even though you say you may not be a good writer, it's ok. There are resources on campus like the student writing center that could help you learn to proofread your papers and you could avoid getting points taken off. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain this class is a lot of work. I have also missed out on a lot of points. In fact I asked Teach should I just drop the class but she basically told me to hang in there. You can afford to miss some assignments but just do the extra credit and maybe you will still do fine. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteJamie, if you take your papers to SARC on campus, they can help you with the grammar errors. If you are bored in this class then something is really wrong. I've tried to help you with your errors when I grade the papers, but that will never be enough. You have to get help on campus.
