Should I clarify my D grade?

sherry18 · November 2013

I got a D in class because there was an unforeseen circumstance that caused me to not send in an important paper. I explained to my professor why and that I needed more time to finish it - it is a 100% valid reason - and he said yes, but he would penalize me by cutting my final grade to a C. I didn't want a C - I worked really hard in the class and would've gotten an A if it wasn't for that last paper... Anyway, I'm taking the class now again to make up the D. Should I clarify why the D is there in my UC additional comments essay, or should I just let my new A grade that will be updated in Jan do the talking?

Not totally clear what is happening here but if the grade shows up on your transcript the school will see it and an explanation would help.

Yes, I would definitely do so if I were you. Include the specific reason not "an unforeseen circumstance" because it could mean an unexpected vacation or a death

So you Chose not to hand in your paper after being warned a late submittal would reduce your grade... How do you think that will fly?
