My Spanish professor handed me back a 96% midterm today, then cornered me and another student and criticized us for "not comprehending the material", "not being at the expected level of the class", "whining and complaining", and "having no business being there if we don't understand it".
I've only asked constructive questions in this class, and I've only ever shown concern for my achievement. All I want to do is learn and work hard, and know that I did both. I feel totally gutted, and I'm shocked by the language she used and the perception she has of my work and attitude. My average isn't just good, it's exceptional, but apparently asking questions and showing concern for my ability to learn is a signal to her that I am a sub-par student with behavioural issues.
I can't even digest the rant I received today. I've never received anything less than a great mark in this subject. Feels bad man.
