the doubt with my teacher is honestly freaking me out. Even if I can bang stuff out on here I've asked for his expectations and asked during our meetings. I set up tutoring last week but wasn't able to go due to being sick and going to the doctors.

There is more back story to this with the teacher and I just want to rest. I know this is wrong I just want to ensure I pass and I can rest now and after my surgery. Sucked arse not eating anything or having cake on my BDAY and now over thanksgiving break I will be in bed. Just looking for some friends to help me out in a time of need.

I'm not sure what you're asking though.

Sounds like you've encountered a power hungry douche community college instructor who fancies himself important. Not a lot you can do about it.

What type of help are you hoping to get? I'm not trying to be a douche and I'm sorry you feel bad, but I'm just not making sense of the complaints about your birthday and stuff when really all you need to do is write two pages about football?

You can type a 3 page OP and frick off on the interwebz but can't write 2 more pages of a paper because of wisdom teeth? You deserve to fail and are wasting your GI bill.

I don't know how to introduce sources, check my grammar, I have 4 sources but need 8 from 3 different source types. I have taken Eng 007 and Comp I. I'm 30 years old and have never done this. When asking the teacher he refers me to a book and I have learned more from Jean Ives than the teacher. I'm not trying to play the pity card just looking to pass this class and have a great paper. When I contacted the chair of the department, she said that she doesn't accept late work with a doctors excuse. I honestly just want to get some rest to feel better and put this at ease.

I would go my academic advisor, then possibly to administration.

1.) you’ve posted at least 8-9 paragraphs here whining that could have been paragraphs in your paper

2.) what do you want us to do? Write it for you?

Go to the library and have them walk you through the various ways to access these resources

If I honestly knew how I would. I've asked him for help and he told me to figure it out. Sorry for offending you in anyway just want some rest man. I honestly feel like shite the last week and not in the mindset and especially with the doubts of not being taught this. I don't know what else you're expecting me to say man. I just wont ask next time.

It would take me about 3 minutes to go find 4 articles relating to football from reputable newspapers and periodicals. Especially if they relate to CTE or ethical considerations of modern football. I suggest trying that.

I'm not sure if that covers your source type issue or not, but getting more sources is easily knocked out. What citation format do you need? It should be in the instructions from your instructor.

Googling "magazine MLA" or "newspaper chicago citation" should give you the format to use.

Then go to bed and set an alarm to get up later to do it.

God damn, you sound like a blubbering pussy. I see why your professor told you to frick off. Life’s hard, dude. Figure it out.

Jesus.

Well, according to most of this board, humanities courses are easy and a joke. So your friend should have no trouble with it. Or, certainly, someone from the OT will step forward to help out, since it’s practically nothing to write a paper.

If your friend needs advice, as your title says, I would advise learning MLA format. He was bound to run into a problem with it at some point. If he got through two English courses without getting caught already, he was lucky.
