Final grade is 1.1% away from an A- should I ask my prof to round it up?
Sooooo I have been taking a classes all spring and summer and I have this one class that I did very poorly on the first midterm (65%) because I was deathly sick and the prof said because summer schedule moves so fast it’d be best if I just did the exam on the scheduled date. After that mark I locked in and got an A-/A on every other piece of course work.
But of course the final exam is worth 45% (way too much imo) and I needed an 87% to get an A- but I scored an 84%. Now my final grade is just 1.1% shy of getting an A-….would it be silly to approach my prof through email and ask if she could kindly adjust my grade so I can get an A-😭😭😭 especially considering I took my first midterm in less than favourable circumstances.
I just really want an A because my other two summer classes I scored an A- and A+ and I’m applying for law school this year so I need the best grades I can get lol
