When i asked him what the words meant during the test and he gave me that really short snide answere i serioulsy wanted to cry. He did offer to refer us to tutors (no 1 i cant afford one... no 2 even if it was a free one i dont have the time). he also offered to let us come up and discuss the text during office hours (HELLO, i work full time AND go to school full time!!!! AND when im not doing that i am studying or cleaning the house/laundrey )... im sorry, i am just really upset. I cant afford to fail this class, i am supposed to graduate in januaruy and this is a requirement of graduation

Maybe you didn't fail! I admire you for working and going to school at the same time! That's rough and you are to be commended for doing it! That was an egotistical dumbass answer to your question too! I've taught at the college level and I always tried to help my students and treat them kindly! What a jerk!
