Why most grade challenges fail...

My student sent me a YouTube video challenging the grade that I gave him on his speech in my class (on how to become a YouTube celebrity)...I decided to respond through YouTube myself.

There is a right and a wrong way to challenge a grade. My student took the time and effort to actually conscientiously analyze my comments and his own work. That is the right way.

Now while I wouldn't recommend every student make a video to challenge their grade on an assignment, I thought it was very appropriate for the topic at hand and absolutely love the creativity.

Not my best YouTube video, but it achieves its purpose.

This is awesome! I am a speech professor too, but not as creative as you are. Awesome job with your response.

Nice :)) I laughed 'till I fell when I heard Iron Man from Sabbath in the background on the 'perfect teacher' part. Very nice. :D

Wow. Wow. I'm speechless. In your case teaching seems to truly be a vocation. We all can only wish to have such teachers at our universities. Mostly, they're 'never wrong' and would be infuriated if anybody commented on their grading on the YT.

I start my 4th year of teaching next week-ish, and I have to say, after 3 years of grading college kids, this video made me giddy to watch. Truly, just giddy. Your students are lucky to have you, and thank you so much for posting this.

Kudos to this!

So how would you have ranked the shortest ADS in the world I uploaded to my YouTube? She's at AFA right now. ...not with that speech, though. haha

The AAA thing made me laugh. :)
