My Friend Needs Some College Advice
Posted on 11/19/17 at 12:30 pm

Hey everyone I am looking for advice for an issue my friend is having at college.
He has a Comp teacher who is a complete a-hole and when he seeks help he keeps referring him to our keys for writers book instead of addressing his issues.
He isn't a traditional student he just turned 30 on Thursday and isn't knowledgeable with MLA and the best at writing papers. His teacher says he is a top 3 student when it comes to grades and how he is in the class. This is a community college that he is using the GI Bill for.
To add to that, he hasn't been feeling well this semester because he has been waiting to get his wisdom teeth out. He had a confirmed date for surgery set back in May for Nov 9th. The VA in Chicago called a few weeks ago after all this time and said he got bumped because he wasn't a priority. Anyways, he gave up hope, but started feeling very sick. He went to the VA clinic on his birthday and got antibiotics. He felt even worse on Friday so he drove to the actual VA hospital and they said that he need surgery immediately. They don't have a surgeon so they called private surgeons and He has a date on Monday. The paper is due Tuesday. He has 6/8 pages done, but he feels bad when he sits at the computer.
He contacted the division chair and she said she doesn't even accept late work with doctors notes. He asked if there is any medical hardship that he could drop the class without punishment and she said no. It honestly seems like the humanities department gives no cares and said he should know this. However, he has taken Eng 007 and Comp I and never learned. When he mentioned this to the chair she said that I should know it anyway.
Honestly my friend Andrew bust his arse and he feels pretty demotivated because of this. Any suggestions?
Also sry if my txt is bad I'm typing this while on my phone in bed. Just stressing bad.

Good Morning Matt, Just seeing what time you will be in your office tomorrow so we can discuss the 6 page assignment. If you can, please let me know what times tomorrow you will be free. Thanks!! Respectfully sent, Andrew

Andrew, On the first day of the term, I gave the class my office hours for the semester. On Fridays, I shared that day, I'm normally there between 8:00-9:00 a.m. However, tomorrow I'm at ________________ for a one-day conference. I'll be here all next week, specifically in the office, on the days and times I have scheduled office hours. If you don't have those written down in the course's booklet, you can find my office hours--and those of all full-time faculty members--by visiting the following link:

Most professors are assholes. They sit around in their little warped mind circles and argue over funding and their intellectual superiority to us normies.

Honestly guys it is me. I posted on our forum looking for help. I wanted to use my people first before I posted on the O-T. I know there are many educated people out there and I just need the help that my teacher hasn't given me. I'm not looking to start the next long thread on the O-T.
I have busted my arse in this class, the teacher wont address anything that I have asked, but refereed me to the book.
I know this is sloppy writing but I am pretty sick currently from a issue that the VA blew me off. I posted a few months ago about my wisdom teeth and I could bump the thread. Anyways, Hines VA in Chicago cancelled my surgery via voicemail and when I called the assistant withheld his name and the surgeon said good luck. I lost hope and I was feeling fine. Last week I started feeling very ill. I spent my 30th birthday on Thursday in bed and when I sit at the computer or even stand i feel horrible. The VA (not Hines) gave me antibiotics on Thursday and I went to the actual hospital on Friday. They called private surgeons to get me in ASAP. I have surgery monday and paper is due Tuesday. The chair of humanities told me she doesn't even excuse with medical notes (fricked up because I went to school with her daughter).
Not that it matters but I am a veteran I'm busting my arse and trying to earn an education. I know this is not me earning it but i feel like regardless I wont be good enough. The paper is about football and just looking for help.
This is me manning up and I appreciate pio and others on the Ark board for helping me, but not looking for trouble. Again thank you. Also please dont hate on my gramar and punctuation i am typing off my phone in bed.

If he's done 6/8 pages and those 6 pages are good. That's like a 75%..it's math.

No, and I'm not one of Pio's alters. Just a person who wants to get this done, so I can get some rest. I honestly feel like shite and college is very serious to me. I go to college all day then come home and help my kids with their homework. Trust me I can be an arse when it comes to talking shite on the rant or OT, but i am a good person.

Man up and type the last two pages.
If that’s too hard, college isn’t for you.

You could probably start by quit typing on here and write your fricking paper.

This teacher is ridiculously picky and when i have asked for his help he told me to figure it out. Im sorry that I know I could knock it out, but honestly just stressed with all that is going on and previous encounters with the teacher and humanities chair.
I could say frick it, but honestly ive busted my arse and the most important thing to me is furthering my education.

I mean, if the guy is sick and can't, ok i guess.
But he's made two lengthy coherent statements in the last few minutes.
Anyone who is marginally intelligent can knock out 2 pages of low level class paper in a half hour. I'm not really understanding what the issue is at this point?
