I sent this email to my teacher:

Date: 4/21/2014 12:51:35 PM
From: XXXX, Carolyn
To: XXXX, CLEON
Subject: Extra Credit Week 14


You stated:

This is a 20 point extra credit assignment due no later than next Sunday, April 28th by 11:59 p.m. central time.



But only graded it to be 10 points.

Are you going to honor what you posted or is it going to stay 10 points?


His response to me:

One of the requirements for this assignment was that empirical evidence be supported with at least two references and one example and by all reasonable measures Carolyn, you failed at doing this. In this particular case, if I were to honor anything it would be my conviction that work turned-in by students receives the grade commensurate with the quality of the work which in this particular case would be a zero. Would you like to retain the grade I gave you for this assignment (meaning it's going to remain at 10 points) or would you like for me to honor my conviction?




The subject matter was politics. He's a bleeding liberal and I'm a conservative. My paper did have references and examples, he just didn't like them. This was an extra credit assignment.

Did he just threaten me?
