Can someone tell me their opinion regarding this grading policy?
Okay, so, I am not sure if this is even allowed, BUT,
I took a math course this semester (that just ended), and the instructor I’m almost positive calculated my grade wrong and I should have gotten an overall A in the class.
His syllabus states,
“There will be no makeup for collaborative work or individual assignments/quizzes. However, the three lowest collaborative work assignment grades will be dropped, and likewise the three lowest individual assignments/quizzes will be dropped”
When reading that, do you think that means that the grades will be dropped in each section, or just one? The way it came off was that each section the 3 lowest grades will be dropped. With that said, he dropped two in the collaborative work, 3 in the individual assignments, and 0 for the quizzes.
What would your impression of this be overall? I was told I should contact him to have him review it, (I have already once before, and he told me they come off automatically on blackboard) but even if that were true, it’s still not right. I’m going to attempt to email him again regarding this, but I am genuinely curious what you all would think.
