Imagine having “you do not think bullying (teasing) is a bad thing” as a conversation about a paper you’ve written, after which you tried to bully university staff by using a screenshot containing that phrase
Samantha, I am the other instructor for this course, and I have also taken the time to read your paper. I concur with Mel on the grade you received. This paper should not be considered as a completion of the assignment.
Everyone has different ways in which they see the world, but in an academic course such as this you are being asked to support your ideas with empirical evidence and higher-level reasoning. I find it concerning that you state at the beginning of your paper that you do not think bullying ('teasing") is a bad thing. In addition, your paper directly and harshly criticizes your peers and their opinions, which are just as valuable as yours. Disagreeing with others is fine, but there is a respectful way to go about it. That goes for discussion posts as well as reaction papers.
Please employ more thoughtfulness in your future assignments.
and here’s an additional comment from the other instructor of the course backing the grade given (0/25).
