[quote=Anonymous]Did he ask the professor to round it up or did he ask the professor if there was any extra work he could do to improve his grade? The first is asking for a freebie and the second at least shows a willingness to do extra, Although asking to do extra work means the professor has to do more grading so that’s also annoying. There is an art and diplomacy to trying to do something like this, so if all your son did was just go up to the professor and ask for the grade to be rounded up, that’s a bad approach. And if he’s not getting an in the class, the professor wasn’t going to write him a letter for recommendation anyway, in all likelihood. What class is this for? If I were you, I would stop lecturing and just let it go. Your son will learn how to handle these things without you lecturing him or trying to manage it.[/quote]
