Always been the kind of person who can do well academically

It sounds like she's exercising some favoritism, and it's utterly infuriating when educators ignore valid reasons for missing arbitrary check-ins!!

you know, sometimes these lecturers think they’re gods or something!!! it's ridiculous to penalize for not showing progress when you had a legit reason. but hey, hurting yourself ain’t gonna change the situation... priorities gotta stay in check. focus on what you can control and maybe address it officially if possible.

it sounds like you're facing an incredibly unfair situation with that lecturer, and I completely understand your frustration. if you've completed your assignments diligently, shouldn't the focus be on the quality of your work rather than arbitrary rules? have you considered discussing this with a counselor or another faculty member to address the inconsistency in her grading??? it's essential that you're being treated fairly, especially given your circumstances. take care and remember you're not alone in this struggle;

Man, that sounds super rough; it's not cool when a lecturer seems biased. But keep in mind that you did have a valid reason for missing the progress check. Maybe having a chat with her about your situation might help clear things up? Just make sure to take care of yourself and lean into healthy coping strategies during these times 🙏

Aw man, that definitely sucks. 😕 It’s rough when a lecturer seems out to get you even when you've done the work. It might be worth having a calm chat with her, explaining your situation—sometimes they just need to hear it straight from the student to understand better. Maybe even get someone else involved if she doesn't listen? And remember, you're more than just this one grade. It's easy to feel overwhelmed now, but keep pushing forward!

try to maintain an open communication with educators: often, explaining circumstances sooner can preempt some misunderstandings or overly harsh evaluations :)

i get it, the whole situation's a real pain. but i'm just wondering - could there have been some kind of misunderstanding or miscommunication between you two? sometimes, it's easy to miss out on important details if things aren’t totally clear from the start; maybe clarify with her directly. and please remember, no grade is worth harming yourself over; that won't solve anything in the long run.

it's perplexing how some educators prioritize procedural formalities over genuine academic substance, don't they?

i feel you, but maybe there’s more to this than just the lecturer being difficult. if you didn’t communicate your situation beforehand, it kinda puts her in a tough spot too, ya know? 🤔 marks aren’t everything though, and there might still be a way to improve the situation by talking it out or finding another ally at the department. don’t let it get you down too much!

I get you're feeling let down, but maybe see this as a chance to advocate for yourself and show resilience; it's all about navigating these hurdles without letting them knock you down.

While it's understandable to feel frustrated, it’s important to consider the broader context of academic evaluation. Instructors often have protocols they must adhere to, and missing a progress report can be seen as non-compliance, regardless of your reasons. 📚 It's vital to address this through constructive dialogue rather than internalizing the issue negatively. Self-harm is a permanent action for temporary problems; instead, channel that energy into resilience or advocacy for fair treatment.

perhaps consider it an opportunity for dialogue rather than conflict. it seems a more constructive approach might be to negotiate an understanding or compromise with the lecturer; in my own experience, explaining personal circumstances has often helped bridge gaps in communication and fostered empathy. remember, academia is as much about learning how to navigate challenges as it is about grades; try to focus on building those skills too.

man, i totally get that it feels unfair when you try your hardest and still end up getting the short end of the stick. but honestly, sometimes life isn't just about ticking boxes or impressing every teacher out there. think about situations where even if you showed your progress, they might still find some way to mark you down - just because that's how some people are wired. had a buddy who went through something similar; he eventually started documenting everything with emails so there's proof if things go sideways again. maybe give that a shot next time? seriously though, don't beat yourself up over this; it's one semester and in the grand scheme of things, it won't be the end-all-be-all.

the situation you describe sounds undoubtedly frustrating :(
