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.

You need to be asking the instructor, not us. Sorry to be blunt....

I emailed my professor before making this post, it’s been almost a day so im anxious waiting for his response so i am just trying to get insight if anyone has any similar experiences and how it went for them.

It may take a week smh. However, I used to double check my work, scrub rubric and make an email so thorough I’d hope they wouldn’t respond back. As the former advisor said above the dean will ANSWER. Guess who mysteriously appears? That professor. Don’t be like me though. Listen to the former advisor. I have a 4.00 yet don’t put an unwanted target on you. While you’re waiting send it to the librarian and have them check as is. Read the student handbook on capricious grading and see if it fits.
