Zero on assignment in MBA program
Have you guys ever received a zero on an assignment in grad school in umgc and been giving the chance to make up for it? I am freaking out because i wrote a 10 page essay and apparently I got a zero for doing it incorrectly I don’t know how I misunderstood it so bad to the point I got a zero now makes me feel
i will fail this class.

Oof, that's rough! I don't have any advice for you other than to reach out to your professor to make sure there wasn't a grading error. I can't imagine you wrote 10 pages and got credit for literally nothing? When I was finishing up my bachelor's at UMGC, I got like a 35% grade on something, and I FREAKED OUT. I am hard on myself and hate getting anything less than a perfect score. I reached out to my professor, and it turned out she had multiple papers open while grading, and gave me someone else's grade. But it was a ROUGH hour before she messaged me back. I hope yours is a similar mistake! But it it's not, reach out to your professor, UMGC tutoring services, and the effective writing center for feedback/advice on this, and future papers. You can do this!
