Hi, in my accounting class, my teacher claims that I did not hand in the homework for Chapter 1-5 which I did and handed in.
My exam scores are great (96 exam average so far), but I only have one homework handed in, according to her.
What can I do in this situation? I already replied saying I did hand the work to her and asked her to look for it again. If she can't, I asked if I could make up for it and not be penalized because I DID do the homework. It is really important because one chapter = one point on my average so assuming she can't find it, 5 points are off my average.
Has anyone ever been in my situation where the professor claims he or she can't find the homework you handed in? How did you deal with the situation? Is there no hope for me?

My theory of computation prof temporarily lost my second test day of the test, whereupon I offered to write up a complete solution set on the spot without looking at the test. However, he ended finding it so there was problem there.

yep theres no hope for you.

Well I usually have my friends with me when I pass the homework so I have witnesses, but really, homeworks should be passed during class time so that it won't get lost or anything.

Umm, why is your teacher now realizing that you haven't handed in homework for FIVE chapters?

Well, it was due all at once.

Tell her she needs better internal controls.
|
Or better yet, tell her you've accrued your homework, but she just hasn't realized it yet.
Ok, I'll stop.

Yeah, can't remember what class this was but a teacher lost three of my assignments. After pestering her to keep searching for them I ended up doing them over again for partial credit.

Well, this is a shitty situation but my advice would be to email her and ask if you can still complete it for partial credit. Then see her in person and ask her if she read your email yet.
Regardless on if you actually did do the homework, the fact is professors and teachers get this kind of shit all the time and you will get absolutely nowhere trying to blame them. If you ask for partial credit chances are they will either be nice and let you have an extension on the deadline for full credit, grant you the chance to get partial credit, or give you an alternate assignment for extra credit. Take what you can get.
Goodluck.

happened to me all too often, worst of all most teachers are so arrogant they cant even fathom the possibility of a mistake. It is unlikely you will be able to make a deal.

Both of my parents are professors, and they said that any time something like this happens, they rarely believe the student. They get excuses and shit like this every day, and are really unforgiving about it. Your best bet would be to try to get her to give you an oral test over the homework to prove that you know the material, and then MAYBE you can get partial credit for them.

I have the homework. It was filed. i thought you gave it to me this past thursday at test #3.
YESSSSSS LOL! :DDDDDDDDD

Whenever stuff like this happens, I just tell my teacher to look at my test grades - obviously I know the material, so I would've had no reason to not hand in homeowkr.
...
Of course sometimes I don't actually do the homework and still use this excuse, but hey, as I said - if I do so well on the tests, doing the homework would've just been a waste of time anyways

May I comment on the appropriateness of your name in this situation?
