"One of my professors really doesn’t like me. I’m very outspoken in class, and I disagree with his interpretations of the course material.
Although we don’t appreciate each others’ views, I have put a lot of work into his class. But he insists on giving me really low grades on all of my assignments. I know that I’m producing good work, even if it contradicts his ideas. I feel like I need to confront him about the grades he’s given me, but I want to approach him in a way that doesn’t make him angry. Can someone at SCRS help me figure out how to talk to my professor?"
WHAT SCRS CAN DO:
- help you think about the nature of the problem objectively
- help you formulate a way to discuss the problem with you professor that will be most effective and least inflammatory
