[quote=Anonymous]I got a grade lower than I was expecting in a class my first semester in college (B+ v A or A-). The class involved 3 papers worth 25% each and section/small group participation worth 25%. Had gotten the first two papers back w/ A-s on each; prof was a notoriously hard grader, so figured I'd end up w/ at least an A- for the class and maybe an A. Went to prof to ask about it. Thought it was really unlikely I'd gotten a C or whatever on the final paper; I participated all the time in class, so just assumed that would be an A. Turns out I'd gotten an A on the final paper, but a D in class participation. WTF? I try to explain that that's impossible, but that's difficult to prove. TA is now on vacation somewhere unreachable. Finally gets back and, luckily, TA fesses up that he made a mistake transcribing the grades from his book to the computer because he'd alphabetized my last name differently than the computer did (apostrophe always causing problems). Actually got an A. Prof was like, great, and gave me an A- for the class. I remain a bit bitter to this day b/c A-, A-, A, A w/ the curve the class was known for would have gotten me an A the first time around. No question. But, by the time I'd gotten my corrected grade, it was more than a YEAR later. Such a pain in the ass.[/quote]
