Confronting your teacher about grades...

I feel your pain; I once got 89.7% in a college class that rounded grades down.

On the other hand, a few semesters later, I enrolled in night and afternoon classes (full-time student) while continuing my summer job full-time into the school year. I told my computer science professor about my job when he asked where I’d acquired the experience I’d mentioned in the class questionnaire. I soon started a sabbatical from work in order to focus on school. I think the professor was under the impression that I was still working because he bumped my 89% up to a 90% without me asking. I didn’t ask why, but he commented that it was because he knew I was busy. lol

Anyways, some possible ways to squeeze more points out of a class:

[ul][]Go through past exams and assignments and look for partial credit opportunities where you might have deserved more points for work you showed.
[]If you skipped any work, just submit it late and ask for deductions rather than 0s for lateness unless the teacher has some set-in-stone rule about that in the syllabus.
[*]Offer to… no, nevermind.[/ul]
