I'm taking 3 classes this semester, well, 2 classes and choir. Both are art classes, Photography 2 and Design 1. I love both of them, and for the most part, enjoy going to them. I am so beyond frustrated in the design class though

Is it bad that I took great pleasure in flaunting the fact that I was prepared for class today?
no. this kind of reminds me of my 9th grade history class. the teacher always said that if the students had their homework done & participated in class (i.e. raised their hand & answered some questions) and that would count a lot towards the grade we got. the next year several girls i had the class with were very surprised that i passed & they failed. i thought well if you had done what the teacher had said, you would have too.
I tried to post this as a comment but accidentally made it its own post.
I once had students all decide together to not do homework because I wouldn't be able to assign them all failing grades. I assured them this was not the case but they didn't believe me. I told my boss and then assigned the grades they earned.
Your teacher should make it clear that showing up unprepared is unacceptable and will be met with a 0 in the day's project. She should make sure assignments are clearly posted online somewhere students can easily access so they have no wiggle room to claim they didn't know what was expected.
I do know for a fact that they didn't get credit for having their materials. We didn't have anything actually due at the end of that class, so not sure how it will affect their grades. The next class, where we actually did have an assignment due by the end, I know the ones that didn't have anything done will be penalized. Not sure to what extent. I guess we'll see.
