Disappointed with thesis grade. Any chance for re-evaluation?
Hi everyone,
I recently received the grade for my Master's thesis , and it was a 3.0. To be honest, I am quite disappointed because I put a lot of effort into the project .
My supervisor and I had a good relationship during the project, so this grade came as a bit of a shock. I haven’t received any detailed written feedback or a grading rubric yet, just the final mark.
I have two questions for the community:
Is it standard/appropriate to ask the professors for a detailed grading rubric or a breakdown of the score? How should I approach them without sounding defensive or aggressive?
Has anyone successfully requested a re-evaluation or a chance to revise the thesis to improve the grade in the German university system? Or is the final grade usually set in stone once submitted?
