<p>It’s quite weird and I can’t explain it, but somehow reading your text without the spaces is not significantly more difficult than reading it normally. IfyouhadaskedmebeforehandIwouldnothavepredictedthatthehumaneyewassogoodatparsingtextevenintheabsenceofspacing.</p>

<p>Not really. Just being facetious. :-p</p>

<p>You totally misinterpreted and blew out of proportion an offhand suggestion from a professor. What else is she going to judge you on besides the work you submit? And to remain so bitter shows that the professor must have scratched some really deep insecurities.</p>
<p>I teach in a liberal arts university that offers computer science degrees. One upper division class that I teach in our College of Arts and Sciences frequently has students from our computer science, construction management, and health sciences majors enrolled. It is very common for these students to complain that grammar and basic writing mechanics are 10 to 20% of the score for many assignments. I am cautious to ensure that no assignment will score below average based on writing mechanics alone – the class is not an English or writing class after all. However, it is an upper division class in an academic setting. We are not a technical school. We award academic degrees - Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts, etc. and there are basic fundamental skills that are inherent to the integrity of the degree. The ability to communicate in writing is one such skill. I learned early on that it is important for me to “sell” the value of these assignments and the rubric to these students before hand. When I do so, there is little or no grumbling. </p>
<p>You have admitted you did not do your best work in this class because you were uninterested and unmotivated. Maybe you weren’t sold on the importance of this course or the assignments. Or perhaps it was simply because you did not connect with this professor. I know a young man who was once adamant in his belief that mediocre instructors should not be rewarded by his hard work and grades of A. In classes where he felt teachers were undeserving, he did not apply himself and therefore earned grades of C. It sounds like you are very much like him. From your description of the confrontation with the instructor, it sounds as if the professor went on the defensive as much as you did. You should not let this continue to eat at you. If nothing else, simply recognize from this experience that your output is the mechanism by which many will judge you. This is the nature of society. If you want to be judged differently, adjust your output. </p>
<p>If it will make you feel better I suggest writing to the instructor and telling her how her knee jerk response and assumptions continue to haunt you. Let her know your successes. Perhaps she will learn to see potential in future students even when it is not readily evident. As an instructor, she should try to do this. </p>
<p>Well, this is a rather rambling post. I hope no one grades me. ;-)</p>
<p>Welcome to Life! And when you get into the world with that job, you will likely encounter people who will tell you that you will never advance, etc. Perhaps she was having a bad day; perhaps you were having a bad day when you wrote the paper. If it is a class you aren’t that passionate about, try to do your best and move on. If you are, however, passionate about computer science, forge ahead. You will be successful at it if you are indeed passionate about it. Now, if you have 4 or 5 more professors tell you community college as well as the dean, I might begin to question my decision. Remain true to yourself!</p>

<p>I am having difficulty comprehending this one issue bothering me… I am in an unaccredited college,taking premed study. I can figure out the possibility of me getting into medical school after for years. To add more salt to the injury, I am an international student. A friend advised me to go to a CC. Is there possibilities for me to enter into med school after graduating from a CC? The greatest challenge I am facing is expenses, if not for that I would have gone over to a private school… Is there any way out? What are the chances I have?</p>
<p>You would have to transfer to a 4 year from the CC and THEN go to med school, but yes, that is perfectly acceptable and probably what you should do. Get out of the unaccredited school.</p>
<p>@adezacpal
I’m not sure, but I was under the impression that unaccredited schoolwork doesn’t transfer anywhere. So basically you’re taking classes for nothing. I could be wrong, though; I don’t have a very good understanding of what unaccredited schools are for.</p>
<p>Like TwistedxKiss said, you can’t get into med school straight out of a CC, but you could transfer from a CC to a university and get your bachelor’s and then get into medical school.</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, what four year university did you attend?</p>
<p>To the poster that mentioned the OP must have some deep insurities—Many college students are insecure when they arrive on campus and many more will become insecure at one or more times during their college career. It is unfortunate that a professor felt it was her obligation to communicate to a student that he was not ready for that colleges’ work.</p>
<p>To the OP—I have heard many stories over the years of teachers that have said very damaging remarks to students. Now that you have graduated, and have done well, you may want to think about writing a letter to that professor. You can let her know that at that time of your life when your writing skills were still weak she could have been the one teacher who left a life time impression on you. She unfortunately chose to be remembered as the teacher that said you couldn’t, instead of taking the time to show you that you could…what a shame.</p>
<p>
Your current and biggest problem is attending an unaccredited school. You’re paying for classes that the average college, CC or 4-year is unlikely to accept (though not impossible - they might work with you.) but you really need to stop attending this school. ASAP.
Should you graduate, most employers will not acknowledge a diploma from an unaccredited college. </p>
<p>Second, I don’t think you can go from a CC to a med school. You can go from a CC to an accredited four year and then to med school, but a CC is not going to fulfill all the med school requirements by itself.</p>
<p>Folks, check the posting history. This is PMVD, Innovativeboxx, and his other aliases. Same song: different names.</p>
<p>The question we were answering was from the poster who rezzed the thread yesterday, not the OP from last year.</p>
<p>But having said that,
was an epic response to the OP ;P.</p>
<p>Interesting that this PMVD persona has already graduated while most of his personas are still in school. Here are some other threads started by this alt:</p>

<p>Adezcapal, I agree with the others that you should get out of the unaccredited school!</p>
