You’ve completed your last final, submitted your last paper, and given your last presentation. But as professors demand accountability and thoroughness in your final work, they fail to deliver the same on their end. For a large number of classes offered at Cornell, final exam, project, or presentation grades are simply never inputted for the student to see. On the social media Reddit’s popular r/Cornell thread, user RideMinute6332 posted in January:“my prof posted our final grades (after the deadline at that) but never uploaded our final project and our other final assignment grades on Canvas… he’s ignored both my emails from 3 days ago & again today asking where these final project grades are, so it almost seems like he just took the overall grades we had without the final project grades on Canvas and used those as our final grades bc he couldn’t grade the final projects in time… it’s frustrating to see when something you worked hard on is just ignored due to a prof’s seeming negligence… “I just feel kinda powerless as a student, bc my prof could ignore my emails as long as he wants since submitting an OLGAA grade change request would be an inconvenience for him & i know that my prof could also just make up any random number that fits to say was my final project grade and claim that he incorporated it into my final grade if i confront him more seriously about this, and i can’t do anything about it. I still have no idea what made up more than half of my final grade.
