I'm going to Berlin in the fall and decided to take a German class over the summer. The grading system is out of 300, scaled as follows:
250-300: A
220-249: B
170-219: C
sub-170: F (they don't give D's at my school)
The grade is computed from the following:
Homework (25)
Midterm Quiz (75)
Final exam (100)
Paper (100)
I aced the homework, got a 58 on the quiz and a 91 on the test. This means that I had a 174 going into the paper, enough for a C. Since I was stupid and took the class pass/fail (I didn't realize how easy summer classes were at my school) I technically had no incentive to write the paper.
The professor is a fucking dickwad and absolutely anal about grammatical gender. He took off NINE fucking points per gender error, even on his tests which were too long and poorly written for it to even be expected that we'd get genders right. I only needed a C in this class, and so just to spite him, I made 12 errors on the final paper because he couldn't do anything about it! 174 + 0 = 174 which would still give me a C, which would be reported as a P. Or so I thought...
My paper, which was ten pages long and beautiful aside from the intentional errors, came back over the weekend with a -8 on it. I'm not kidding: a MINUS FUCKING EIGHT. That brings me to a 166, which is failing. I would have passed the class by not writing the paper at all and taking a zero!
And yes, I emailed this cocksucker and asked if he was going to fail me, and he said yes. I will now have a fucking F on my transcript for a 101-level language class taken IN THE SUMMER. Worse yet, I'm afraid the Berlin program will retroactively un-accept me.
Do you guys have any advice? Think I can sue this professor?

if the german dept guy cant help, go to a dean/advisor/whatever. pursue every avenue you can.
it just seems ludicrous to me that you can get NEGATIVE points for HANDING in an assignment. and, from what you say, you didnt just hand in some slapdash piece of junk with your name on it written in feces; you actually turned in a suitable work. taking a submitted work and using it as grounds to give you NEGATIVE points seems completely foolish. by that reasoning, you could have turned in a paper with just your name on it -- with no mistakes, there would be no 'negative' points, just a big fat, pass-worthy 0.
strange.

It sounds like you're the one who wanted to "feel big."
Turning in intentionally shitty work to spite your professor is immature and childish, not to mention retarded. If you really wanted to feel superior to him, you should have aced the paper, forcing him to give you an A. If what you say is true, this would have actually taken less effort than what you did.
You were absolutely PWNED by this professor - he got you to do more work than you would have otherwise, and he still failed your ass. You deserve what you get.

"If you really wanted to feel superior to him, you should have aced the paper, forcing him to give you an A."
A perfect paper would've brought me to 274, which probably wouldn't have been the high score in the class.
"You were absolutely PWNED by this professor - he got you to do more work than you would have otherwise, and he still failed your ass. You deserve what you get."

What does having the highest score in the class have to do with anything?
"STFU, Pensive. Your flame is tiresome, and no one agree with you except for your 38 other monikers."
Ummm... no. A number of people in this thread (myself included) agree with him, and I'm sure many others who haven't posted do too.
Also, it is humorous that you think I am pensive. While most people here seem to have a pathological hatred of him, I am not one of them. I think he is actually intelligent and informed. If this opinion is easier for you to digest by dismissing it as Walker-Thomas = pensive, feel free.
And btw, who the fuck are you (besides some whiny kid who ill-advisedly threw away a passing grade in summer school)? Are you new here? If you read some of my other posts, you will see that I am clearly not pensive.

I knew them. I just inverted the der/die to spite him. (Das I left unchanged.) The errors were all in the last paragraph, because I wanted the bastard to know that it wasn't sloppiness on my part, and that I knew my genders.
I think I am a fucking star to stand up to a professor like that, and I only hope the department chair will see that.

# 1 Reason why this is a flame:
I'm sorry, but if you were not good enough at German to be in the A range of the class heading into the paper, I really doubt that there is anyway you could write a "perfect" paper for 10 pages. I've studied 3 languages to intermediate levels and never heard of such a requirement; its impossible to write anything beautiful (or even just interesting) for that long at that level without getting into a whole lot of vocab and grammar that you don't really know. Come on, this is a 101 level course, anyone at that level in a language is going to completely suck. A professor who really wanted to spite you could have torn your paper up for more than a few deliberate errors.
Plus, the whole academic honesty thing you mention later on is nonsense. There is no reason in the world the school would say you couldn't talk to other students about this situation. More creative than most flames, though, I guess.

I spent four years in Germany growing up, so the language came back pretty quickly. (I only lost points in class on stupid things like genders.)
I didn't mean that I wrote fluent German, but . I called it "perfect" because there were no other marks than the gender corrections in the last paragraph. It would've been a 100 paper if not for those. That's what I mean by "perfect"; I don't mean fluent prose that a native speaker would find brilliant and senpivian.
Also, 174/200 (what I had before the paper) was A range since 250 out of the final 300 was an A. His exams and grading are notoriously difficult and 80% is considered a good score.

Negative scores are not unprecedented nor controversial; in fact, they're often a matter of policy for cheating: automatic F, which usually entails a negative score. No one would get fired for giving a student an F for cheating, even if he numerically passed.
"Zero" is just an arbitrary point on the grade continuum; how one truly wishes to represent not doing any work is a matter of opinion, and moreover bad work (in the real world) is often less than none at all. Your prof spent time reading your paper, only to come upon a "fuck you" at the end of it. You deserved that -8. Enjoy failure, prick.

This reminds me of last night, when I had hate-sex with my boyfriend. He seemed to have thought it was the best sex ever and wanted me to rate his performance on a 0-10 scale. (What the fuck? Could anything be more pathetic?) So I said, "I give it a 3, but minus 5 for your flabby gut, so it comes up negative. You gotta work out." Then I poked him in his jiggly, jiggly flab-gut and turned away from him to sleep.

Messed up on purpose to spite the prof? You deserve this. DON'T SHIT WHERE YOU EAT. Some people in your class probably earned a C only through genuine effort.
You'll get the P one way or another, but you deserve the hassle you're being put through now. He's returning the obvious disrespect you showed him.

Speaking as someone who teaches classes, I can say that this behavior is unbecoming of a professor, and this cocksucker needs to get PWN3D like the fucking bitch he is.
Call up EVERY academic dean or administrator. Speak calmly yet firmly. Inform them that you will sue the motherfuck out of the prof and the school. This is horseshit. The assignment is worth a set amount of points, and there is no such thing as a negative score.
This is such horseshit. I hope this is flame because it pisses me off.

Any school that comes with negative scores needs to be burned to the fucking ground. I would never do this to one of my students. If another prof did this at my school, I would write a strong letter to the academic dean requesting that 1.) the prof be punished and 2.) the academic code be rewritten to strictly forbid negative scores.
Auto-fails for plagiarism is a given.

I'm not following you. A negative score is saying that something is worth, say, 100 points, but then taking more than 100 points off of the total points used to calculate the final grade. Taking 108 pts off for a 100 pt assignment is negative grading, and is bullshit.
An automatic faulure of a class due to lifting another person's work is valid because they cannot be trusted. They have violated the honor code, and any class for which they have submitted plagiarized work is soiled beyond recovery.
These are two entirely different matters. The latter is punishment for not meeting higher ethical standards. The former is punishment by selectively tilting the scale in order to fuck a student over.
If it's 100 pts, the most you can take off is 100 pts.

Well, I'd say that it's a multiplier: zero.
It's completely reasonable to fail someone for plagiarism, but by extension it's also reasonable to fail someone for INTENTIONALLY tempting the prof. KFan's argument that he already passed and therefore deserves the P would imply that he should also have been given the P if he had plagiarized the paper.

If the errors were all made in the last paragraph, then this was clearly intentional.
It was a "fuck you" to the professor. Is it, in ethical terms, "as bad" as plagiarizing? Probably not. However, school is (among other things) evaluation/preparation for academia, and snubbing a powerful prof just as ruinous for one's career as plagiarism. Really, a negative score is appropriate.

No, I'm not.
Do you seriously think that if you, obviously by intent, sabotaged an assignment in a work environment, you'd receive the same treatment as one who merely declined it, or haplessly bungled it? No; in the former case, you'd be fired without a doubt, whereas in the latter you might get another chance.
He's learning a hard lesson about the way the world works and, yes, that sort of behavior is as damaging in academia as plagiarism. (Both are fatal, usually.)

"but by extension it's also reasonable to fail someone for INTENTIONALLY tempting the prof."
why? i see nothing justifying your "extension" by analogy.

this is my criticism as well.
also, the fact that there exists a negative score which would have the same effect as an auto-fail does not mean the auto-fail is a negative score. the means can be different even if the end is the same.

What if he had turned in a paper that simply said:
"Fuck you. I have no respect for you or this university. Give me a zero on this paper and I will still pass your pathetic class. I hope your mother, wife, and daughter get raped and killed."
Should he still just get a zero and a pass?

If this happened to me, I would award a zero for the paper, and the kid would still pass the class if he had earned it.
I would, of course, pass the note along to the dean, because it displays conduct unbecoming of a good student, and is offensive.
But it's no reason to take away a grade that the student rightfully earned.

Right. I think the prof should have addressed this negative score possibility in his syllabus, and he may have. I don't think the OP is giving us the whole story.
Nine points per gender error is a bit asinine. 1 or 2 might make more sense; it's not like not knowing the genders makes it impossible to communicate in the language.

He should have made more errors, aiming for some higher (lower?) tier of failure, like a G or something.
At Carleton, in the '70s, it was possible to have a negative GPA. It was a 3-point scale with no Ds and two levels of failing.

You made HUGE, HUGE fuck up. The professor recognized the slap to his face, and he hit back by failing your ass. It's not like you didn't know about the -9 per gender error penalty, so he may convincingly argue that he was just applying a rule that everyone knew in advance. A fatal way to damage his attempt to fail you would be to dredge up a test of someone in your class who has gotten lenient treatment on the gender error penalty (e.g. someone with a 0 who otherwise should have gotten a negative score).

That's a great idea. Unfortunately, I've been "advised" by the professor and department chair that any discussion of this with other students would have me sent to Academic Honesty. This is clearly utter bullshit, but I have no way to fight it right now.

a -8 score doesn't even make sense. not turning in an assignment (0) is less an accomplishment than turning something in and failing.
there's no coherent justification for a negative score.

Met with dept. chair this morning. He was an hour late for our conversation, which I didn't take as a good sign. Worse yet, he was in his office the whole time, but on the phone.
There's nothing I can do about the -8/F; the language department has no policy against negative scores. However, the chair said that if I take German 101 with him in the fall, my grade can supplant the failure and the F will be converted to a Drop.
Professors' salaries at my college are not flat based on many factors including course enrollment. (This is to prevent them from becoming deadweight once they get tenure.) The chair just wants to extort more money out of me. However, the Berlin application requires an official transcript to be sent July 15th. So this "second chance" doesn't save me because I'll still get booted from the Berlin program. Fuck.

That's not fair. Fs are given for not knowing the material, not for being annoying or obnoxious in the last paragraph of a 10-page paper.
Do you have an idea how ridiculous -9 per gender error is?

to extend this fantastically logically bankrupt analogy a bit: microsoft employees' salaries are paid by, well, consumers. do microsoft employees work for me? did they sign an employment contract bearing my insignia? do i tell them what work guidelines to follow, what projects to undertake, and how and what to innovate? do i discipline them when they do wrong? do i reprimand them when they don't do what i think they should do?

For whom do professors work if not us? The universities, which are in service to their students.
The entire concept of college is to serve students. Professors play merely a subordinate role.

For the same reason as my decision to use a community account. I don't want to be outed just yet.
If the Crimson story runs, of course, then it'll be a lost cause. But until this is getting sufficient positive coverage I don't want to take the risk of outing myself as someone who will be perceieved-- and wrongly, I might add-- as a loser rather than an iconoclast.

My parents make less than $250,000 per year. COMBINED. I bet their house isn't even worth single digits and, since they live in California, you can guess who small and "quaint" (to use a realtor's term) it is.

"Less than $250k a year" is probably most people. My point, though, is that I don't come from a rich family at all.
Everyone has their parents pay for college these days. Do you have any idea how much college costs? Paying one's way and going into debt went out in the '50s. Enjoy student loans.

It's not flame. When you include all the secondary expenses (travel, prep courses, etc.) college costs at least $300k.
Tuition: $180k
Rent/food: $80k
Getting in: $5-60k (prep HS included here)
Living/fun: $40k
Airfare/study-abroad: $4-20k
It adds up.

To my credit, I also arranged that "pensive wins again" be detected right around the 163rd post. This was intentional by design. I didn't hit 163 exactly, but close enough given that I've been fucking drunk all night and not posting regularly. I've hit several Internet cafes in Bklyn between drinks, just to see how close to 163 XO was.
I used the made-up word "senpivian" (pensivian) as synonymous with "brilliant" to describe prose. I posted under a community account (welterweight), which is an obvious sign of someone trying to flame the board. How did it take the board this long to find out?
