[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also don't understand how she had no idea she got a D in the class. [/quote]
If the course is heavily weighted toward the final and she bombed it, it could happen. And, depending on the class, it's even possible to bomb a final without knowing it. I've never been in OP's DD's situation, but I definitely got a few bad grades on papers that I thought were great because the prof just had a really different set of criteria for grading than other profs I'd had.

OP, you need to let your DD handle this and not take it so personally. It's a pretty awful situation, and depending on where she works she honestly could lose her job. But the more proactive she is in resolving this, the better the outcome will be for her. I went to an HYPS school, and I was the student rep to the committee on requirements. There was one guy who lost his job, because the committee rejected his petition to substitute an independent study for a requirement that he never filled while in school. I really felt, though, that the school and his employer would have been more willing to work with him if he had not waited almost a year to resolve the situation.[/quote]
