Student vs. Professor: The Online Learning Showdown!

Well, well, well… looks like we’ve got ourselves a good old-fashioned university drama! Our student is stuck between a rock (their snail-paced internet) and a hard place (a professor who seems to have missed the memo about being understanding during a pandemic). Despite giving plenty of notice about their less-than-ideal learning situation, our student still got hit with a zero that could jeopardize their scholarship. The prof has been about as communicative as a brick wall, leaving our student wondering if they’re in the right for wanting to challenge authority. Is the student being unreasonable, or is the professor being a bit of an a-hole? Let’s see what the internet jury has to say about this academic conundrum! ‍⚖️ ‍⚖️
