Current Events > Should I be nervous that none of my manually graded assignments have been graded

(+) Yeah! (+)

like, took a miderm in one class almost two weeks ago, and turned in a few smaller assignments for my other class over the past couple weeks... and none of them have been processed. It is kinda freaking me out like what if they are investigating me for something >_>

Teachers b lazy. I had one teacher who didn't grade anything until like the last week.

---

One was a midterm test that was mostly multiple choice with a couple of short essay responses. Others in the other class were a simple assignment graphing a few shapes and a project that was like a one page write-up answering a few questions (I feel weird about this last one honestly because my writeup was pretty straightforward... but the project itself seemed straightforward so idk).

they are not investigating you for anything. They are busy with other work

Give it a couple more weeks. If there's no still word, then you can ask a Teaching Assistant about it.

The first time that I worked as a grader, one of the irresponsible graders abandoned his job without saying anything, and his papers weren't graded until the end of the semester. The Teaching Assistants finally figured out that he wasn't going to do his job, and they took it upon themselves to grade the papers.

However, most graders do want to do their job. They just get busy with other stuff sometimes

i had an immunology class where 1/3 of the student got caught cheating on the final, the teacher told everyone in the course within 48 hours of the test that there was suspected cheating and everyone wouldn't get their final grade until the investigation was over. think it took about 2 months.

Did you copy off the internet or something? Why would your first thought be that you are being investigated lol?

I wouldn't worry about it too much, as others have said, teachers are lazy. I've had many classes where I had no idea how I was actually doing until the very end where suddenly all my homework submissions were graded at once. Good news is, teachers like that tend to be pretty lenient. They just sorta skim it and only actually check the answer to a few questions and give everyone a good grade. My friend shows me a quiz he did where he definitely got like half of the questions wrong, but only a couple were marked off.

Nah I didn't copy anything, and the test was actually proctored and I stared at the computer screen the whole time. I am just heavily paranoid about things :\ It is really weird that the test isn't up just because the professor and teaching assistant have been 100% on point responding to questions and grading stuff up to this point.

Also one of the assignments just came through though so that's not bad.

yo who the fuck does this lol, wouldn't that damage your reputation with the faculty? Besides like... fucking over everyone from students to other graders? Was there a reason why they quit??

it did damage his reputation. It did fuck over the students and the Teaching Assistants

He didn't have a reason for quitting. He was just very irresponsible
