My professor gave 37 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: me n F but don't worry, I gave him an 38 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: F two. 39 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: He's fired. 40 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 4: Tell you your stupid professor.

You know everyone's been in 47 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 3: the group project, you. 48 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: Know, overachievers, over here, always always doing the work. So 49 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: I was in speech class. It was my last semester 50 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: and it was completely online due to COVID. Our professor 51 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: assigned us a group speech that we were to record 52 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: and send to him by the due date. I thought 53 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: it would be easy enough, as he gave us two 54 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: weeks to work on it, and the group speeches weren't 55 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: anything new to me. He even made separate discussion boards 56 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: for our groups so we could communicate. And this project 57 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: was worth thirty percent of our grade, so failing this 58 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: project meant you would pretty much fail the course. Oh wow, 59 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: thirty percent, that's a lot. I wanted to get it 60 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: done early so we wouldn't have to worry about it, 61 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: So I immediately post a message to everyone in the 62 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: group asking when they were free to do a zoom 63 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: meeting to discuss the project. 64 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: You know, like op, he's being in respect and trying to. 65 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: Get an no reply for a few days by any 66 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: of them. Sh that's what I'm imagining the meaning the 67 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: tumbleweed just I didn't post again, this time a little 68 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: more stern, as it didn't seem like any of them 69 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: cared enough to reply at all. I waited a few 70 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: more days. At this point, we only had one week 71 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: left before it was due, so I just divided up 72 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: the work and posted what everyone would need to write 73 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: their portion of the speech about, and gave them a 74 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: date slash time that I would be holding a zoom 75 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: meeting for the final recording to send to the professor, which, 76 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: like locate dude, OPI is, OPI is is is doing 77 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: a lot for them. 78 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: At this point, I. 79 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 3: Literally just spelling everything out, like, here's your little contribution. 80 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 4: I've set everything up. 81 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it would be in as clear as possible. 82 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: But still no reply, no reply. It was now the 83 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: day before the speech was to be recorded, and two 84 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: days before the speech was due, and my group members 85 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: had still not made an attempt to contact in any 86 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: form at all whatsoever. 87 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 2: Zil, It's not a zero, Come on, come on. 88 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: So I did the only thing I could think of 89 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: and emailed my professor explaining the situation. But this professor 90 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: kind of sucks. I assumed he would not reply because 91 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: throughout the entire semester it took him over a week 92 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: to reply to any emails I had sent him. I 93 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: then did the entire group project on my own, which 94 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: took me the entire night with no sleep. After I 95 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: finished writing everyone's speech, it was around the time I 96 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: had scheduled the Zoom meeting to record. And again, this 97 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: is a speech class. 98 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 4: A group speech. It's what is he like today? I 99 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 4: have this speech, we need to do this. He's just 100 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 4: running to everyone's spots yep. 101 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 2: I then did the entire group project on my own. 102 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 2: I joined. 103 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: I joined the Zoom meeting out of amusement, knowing nobody 104 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: in my group would be there. Sure enough, it was empty, 105 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: so I did the entire speech myself. But the rubric 106 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: really put emphasis on transitioning to our other group members, 107 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: including saying their name. So between every section where it 108 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: would cut to a different member, I would say something 109 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: like and now my name will explain the importance of 110 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: blah blah, and then mute my screen briefly as if 111 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: to cut but on a different put on a different hat, 112 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: and then continue the speech. 113 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 3: Bro The production value is off the charts for this 114 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 3: single group speech. 115 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: Right ophee is killing it. I did this for all 116 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: six portions of the speech. There's six characters. I turned 117 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: in the speech shortly after and filled out the group 118 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: member roll sheet that was due as well. I just 119 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: put my name and every single box that was supposed 120 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: to be a different group member, because OPHI did the 121 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: whole thing, the whole thing. A week passes and I 122 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: see that my professor graded the project, but he still 123 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: has not replied to my previous email about the situation. 124 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: By the way, and he gave me a zero, stating 125 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: it was supposed to be a group project. 126 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 5: You're doing it solo. Man, I didn't follow the inscroction. 127 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 2: Man's dying with every breath. 128 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was about to say, like, first off, he's 129 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 3: about to be finishing his life, and second like op 130 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 3: should literally get like an A. 131 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 2: Plus plus for doing everything? 132 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 4: Like right, are you kidding me? 133 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: I was actually infuriated by this and knew that emailing 134 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: him about the grade was as good as useless. 135 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 2: Yep, So I went straight. 136 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: Above him to the board of the college and explained 137 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: to them what happened. 138 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 3: The highest power in the lamb, the highest power, I 139 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 3: will go to the citadel and talk to the council 140 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 3: the Maldas. 141 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: They apologize and said the situation would be resolved within 142 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 1: a few hours of talking to the board. 143 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 4: Oh wow. 144 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: Then he had replied to my email three times saying 145 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: that he was sorry for the miscommunication about the project 146 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: and that my grade would be corrected, and then he 147 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: scolded me for going above him, saying, you should have just. 148 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 5: Emailed me again if you couldn't get in contact with 149 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 5: your other class space, and. 150 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: He was putting the blame on me for not trying 151 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: to reach out to them. The next semester, I saw 152 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: that he was no longer with the school. My guess 153 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: is that it was a habit of his to not 154 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: reply to emails and he got fired for it. But 155 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: he was also pretty old, so maybe he just kicked 156 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: the can. Also, his corrected grade was a seventy, but 157 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: I was so mentally exhausted from the situation at that 158 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: point that I didn't care to fight it anymore. 159 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 3: OP deserves one hundred and seventy percent, Like that is unacceptable. 160 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,679 Speaker 1: They deserve six hundred percent. They do deserve one hundred 161 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: percent for every group member that they did work. Yeah, 162 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: this is ridiculous, And. 163 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 3: You could just tell like the fact that OP like 164 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 3: put together all the slots then just filled it in 165 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 3: then the muting to transition like. 166 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 4: Ridiculous much work. Was putting so. 167 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: Much work, and honestly, like no one should ever have 168 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: to do that amount of work. But I think people 169 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: should have to do a little work, and so I 170 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: want to make sure the okop fam does a little 171 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: bit of work right now, a little. 172 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 3: Bit of work to take that finger and smash the 173 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 3: subscribe slash it snaps subscribe button. 174 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: Follow us on the Spotify and the Dick doc and 175 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: support us on Patreon, and. 176 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 3: Join the ranks of Kathy Quigley, King and Simmons Desrae, Canterbury, 177 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,359 Speaker 3: Connor van Buren, Nina Campbell and Will comes. 178 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 2: Thanks and we'll see us soon.
