And so 2014 follows in the footsteps of her ancestors: our teachers still have not posted our grades on SSOL. Despite the fact that final grades were due on January 2nd, some teachers feel they are above the law and have not done so. Well you know what Bwog says? Those teachers deserve an F a big F U. Just kidding, we love you guys and we loved your classes, but please just give us a grade so we can go back to watching unprecedented amounts of Scrubs on Netflix.
So below is a list of some of Columbia’s failing teachers. Leave your tardy teachers in the comments.

@jew HOW DO SOME CLASSES STILL NOT HAVE GRADES, I CURSE THE SYSTEM
@Anonymous still not coming…
@Almost awake dude Steven Olley, intermediate microeconomics
@Anon Our grades aren’t up still.
This is probably due to the fact that our professor may not know how to use the internet. Our Psets are written by typewriter, and our courseworks is blank. Having said this, I now realize that even posting his name would do no good because he has probably never heard of a bwog on the interweb.
@Still me It is now seven days later and nothing has changed. This is reeeeediculous.
@Anonymous Alan Timberlake. Not surprising.
@CC25 Paul Blaer, Intro to Programming in MATLAB
Seriously this guy said he’d have grades out the Thursday of finals week. What’s up.
@anon Professor Catharine Nepomnyashchy, Nabokov lit course
@anon Given that we had absolutely no indication of our grades all term, I really hope this is a pleasant surprise. Still waiting, though I hope Professor N is okay.
@jorzo Marianne Giordani, Poetics of the Warrior
@Mew George Olley, Intermediate Micro
@Anon Michael Como, Intro to Buddhism: East Asia
I’m sure it’s his pain-in-the-a** TAs’ fault though.
@In that namesake, ish http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv8Se8xSMiw
@Anonymous Shlomo is the best. We smoke weed together.
@dick david reichman gen chem
@Anonymous They were posted a few days ago
@bio mejor I am not angry. I just really want my bio lab grade back, so I can know my final gpa.
@CC '13 Take heart, fellow sufferer (I was also a bio major + pre-med). It gets worse, like seriously, it does. Not to mention that once you’re done dealing with Mowshowitz and Hazen, you still have to encounter Megan Rigney and all her wickedness when applying for med school. But then eventually you get into med school and it all stops being so bad! So yeah, it gets worse – much worse – but then it gets better!
@Feb Grad Grades in and graduated bitches!
@The final project was due Dec 11 Peter Belhumer – Biometrics
@still no grades :(
@Mailman MusicHum All my grades are in, but my MusicHum prof gave me a grade that does not exist so hooray Columbia.
@Anonymous Ah, someone else had that too! I was quietly freaking out over here that I had somehow been accused of plagiarizing the IDs on my final
@me haha how weird, but totally expected from him! im in his class too, but I got a normal letter grade. what did he give you, like a W or something?
@Annonymous Carl Bettendorf – Music Hum: Seeing as it took him a month and a half to grade the midterm, this shouldn’t be a surprise.
@Anonymous at Brown they never have this problem
@CC'10 Looking back and from the outside grades are stupid. We should basically just have pass, fail and honors. We should all stop playing this game.
@yes Can this wonderful alumnus’ comment be featured?
Okay, thanks.
@Anonamoose likes Latin Alumi instead of alumnus’ if we’re being technical here.
@Latin yay It’s actually alumnus (assuming the person is actually male and not an alumna) because there’s only one graduate. Alumni is masculine plural. So unless there’s a split personality…
@Anonamoose likes Latin In addition to being a masculine plural nominative form, “alumni” is also a masculine singular genitive form, which is what @yes was going for (notice the possessive apostrophe)
@Anonymous Because Brown is just pass fail.
@Tenured profs don't give an F Gregory Pflugfelder, Intro to East Asian Civilization: Japan.
(for those of us applying to grad school this time of year [read: this week], the Jan 2 deadline exists to help us submit our fall grades on time…)
@Anonymous Hannah Hoch, Language Development
@Anonymous Same story this year. Scantron final on the 17th – that’s two and a half weeks ago! – and no grades yet.
@ThatOneGuy I say we penalize our grades upwards for this. For every day late, we should get a half-grade increase in our final grades. Fair is fair – let’s all play by the same rules.
@Angry Lise Hazen, Contemporary Biology Laboratory
and
Ron Prywes, Bio Individual Topics (W3500)
@and yet lise still has not posted grades!
@FU Musatti, Principles of Economics
@Angry Senior Benjamin Ben Reddy – Intro to Statistical Reasoning.
Hasn’t even graded the final yet, but I doubt anyone’s surprised since he was at least 3 weeks late with EVERY FUCKING THING.
Come on, dude, I know it’s your first time teaching but your style is unacceptable.
@Anonymous Really? You’re a senior and you haven’t mastered basic algebra? Come on, now, you shouldn’t be worried about your grade in this class.
@I just want some grades! E’Mett McCaskill, Abnormal Behavior
@psych major Not surprising. She took a month and a half to grade a 3 page paper. She never met her own deadlines regarding exam reviews either. Nice lady, but a procrastinator.
@Labor and American Politics Dorian Warren
@Anonymous Peter Kim. Electricity and Magnetism. (Final was the first day of exam week, too).
@Anonymous Shit, Philip* Kim (it’s been so long since I saw or heard from him…)
@Anonymous Literary Texts, Critical Methods – Rosner dumb dumb
@CS1007 Love Prof. Kender. Appreciate that he grades each final exam by hand, but alas…. it is late.
@ugh paul siegel calc 1
@Anonymous Erin Yerby, CC
@Ghost of Kev$ho They’re all too drunk at 1020. K, bye.
@Ja-punctuality Edward Lincoln, Economic Development of Japan
Also, last day of class: “Not to make you feel any worse about it, but I’m going to be in Hawaii while you guys are taking the final exam.”
@Anonymous did anyone get a grade yet for this class? i checked again yesterday, no luck. SO TIRED OF CHECKING :(
@Nona Jeffrey Kysar, mechanical engineering lab I
@Anonymous Teresa Sharpe, Sociology of Education
@anon Jeannette Bulinski, Cell Bio (boo, you whore)
@Anonymous WILL ALL OF US GET OUR GRADES AT ONCE? OR WILL THEY BE DONE IN SEPARATE “PIECES”? (LIKE OUR EXAMS) DAMN THIS CLASS
@did anyone catch this “I want you ALL to achieve a grade of B or better in my class.” -email from Bulinski. (but how’s that possible if this class is curved to a C+/B-?!)
@Anonymous yeah, I didn’t get that at all. is she changing the curve??
@FYI Mowshowitz put in bio final exam grades on Courseworks tonight. Hopefully course grades will be on SSOL soon.
@hate to be that guy but Maura Spiegel, American Film Genres
@Unhappy philosopher Professor John Collins for Methods and Problems of Philosophical Thought.
@Anonymous Rosalyn Deutsche, History/Theory of the Avant-Garde
@Shlomo's Class Well besides the fact that Shlomo Hershko’s class is a joke, I have no idea why he can’t get the damn grades up. Everything has been graded for the past 12 days on Courseworks. All the hard stuff has already been done.
@Anonymous right??? does he want us to calculate our own grades or something? come on man!
@Annonymous I can’t believe they still let him teach that “class”
@Anonymous Are you in advanced programming? It’s like half A’s.
And yeah, there’s not really a lot of teaching, just an immense amount of programming.
@geology does not rock Peter Kelemen, Earth Resources and Sustainable Development
@Anonymous Yeah…good luck with that one. Last year he gave us a scantron final and still didn’t get the grades in on time.
@Anonymous Marcus Folch, classics major seminar
@let me tell you how this is going to pan out You’re not going to get your grades back until the first day of office hours when someone can bring it up with him in person. He’ll say it’s because he thought he hit ‘submit’ but really hit ‘save’ instead. Nice, Folch
@ugh i love her but Mindy Aloff, Dance in Film
@Lauren Herbert Sloan, American Civilization to the Civil War!
