C+?? I think not..

This is one of the angriest rants I will probably ever make on here so get ready. Most of you can guess who it will be about already the good old Pushpa Bansal. Today after marking our coursework she gave the whole class back their temporary grades before moderation and in truth I was ecpecting a high B or A grade yet I was told I had a high C. I seem quite calm typing this but I am absolutely fuming and have so much rage against this woman. Now saying that I came to college with a high grade A in ICT at GCSE and a grade B in Business and communication Systems how the hell have I ended up getting a flaming C+? Quite simply its due to a number of facts not caused by myself but the lack of effort in the teaching of ICT at the college solely to blame Pushpa. One possibility is that, throughout the creation of the coursework we got constant feedback from herself on how to improve such as comment more on software capabilities etc which myself and Sarah D completed (she also got a C+ and is one of the smartest in the class). I constantly updated and ‘improved’ my coursework to her standards of expectancy. Another possibility is that what she is teaching us the ’style’ and ‘correct’ way to answer AS/A level ICT exams is simply wrong, I have a vast knowledge of ICT but it depends on the context and style on how you answer in exams or coursework. I was also relying on doing well on the coursework to boost my grade up as I have to do a resit in the course as I got yet again a C in my exams which yet again I do blame her as I wrote in her ’style’ thats ‘needed’ in the AS course. Now I cannot do this and I find myself in a dillema as what to do… Do I write in the style I feel as appropriate or in her ’style’ which did not work first time round? Another factor to blame is her poor time managment, quoted from pushpa ‘time management is essential in the ICT industry’ so why did she give us about 1 lesson and little help on what to write on my Evaluation for the coursework that was ‘poor and let me down’.

Going to speak to her and my form tutor over the next two days to see if someone else can mark my coursework independantly to see what is at fault. Also to possibly complain about her teaching as I dont feel she is doing her job as a learning provider as she has made myself and many others less capable in the ICT sense of exams and coursework. This has really disheartened me as I know I can do personally better but my learning has been hindered by this woman.

Rant over.. For today atleast.
