So I get back my first Western Civilation test today and I got a 60/100... I was hoping for a high C to a low B. The test is worth 25% of our grade and there are 2 more we have to take this semester.
This is where I have a problem... My teacher says that one of his students received a 6/100 on the test. He's like, "what are you going to do with 6% when it's worth 1/4th of your grade... so I give everyone who gets an F a 59%." This means that if I had wrote down the wrong answer to every question and wrote completley false information in the essay section I woulda gotten 1% lower. I'll be glad to post my essay and my questions I answered so you can look at them. I really don't believe I deserved 1% higher than a person who got 6/100. Thoughts? If any of you are good at this stuff (early to 1700) I'd really appreciate it if you could evaluate what I wrote so I can get a better grade next time. |

If a professor want to give certain students extra points, at no harm to other students, I am all for that. I hate it when other students throw fits about extra points being given away, toting the 'unfair' flag.
If you have a problem with this professor, let it be with how he graded your paper, not with giving extra points to other students. |

You know, instead of wasting your time fighting this huge injustice, you could study for the next test.

That would be mercy. Mercy is by definition unfair, and is apportioned as the wronged party (your prof, for having to weed through this [censored]) sees fit. You have no beef.

agreed. Yes, it sucks that so many students received free points and you did not, but you cannot control that. You can control your performance and your grade. OTOH, I do think this is unfair. Your professor should either grade on a curve or throw out this test and give everyone a second shot (or that sillyness - You can take your grade on this test, or your make-up test...) The prof chose a very unfair way of doing this, but welcome to the world.

I had a teacher who would not curve unless the class agreed to curve both ways if a bunch of people got good grades then he would curve down. So he never did curve and what u got is what u got.
I really dont like the idea of curves like this just because of this reason. It makes it so u dont have to study [censored] and still can get a better grade then someone who studies there ass off. That being said i hate tests and think they really need to have different ways of grading. I was a horrible test taker and didnt end up with good grades in some classes due to this. But yet everytime the teacher would ask a question in class i could figure it out. But yet i still got C's in the class so Fcuk school im glad im done with that crap. |
