Discrepancies between your grade and effort...

I always confront the teacher if I think they marked a test/lab wrong…those points can really add up. Whenever you see a potential/arguable answer, always talk to your teacher the day he/she passes it back. Be careful…you don’t want to seem annoying for asking for points all the time. Its definetly worth the argument. Whats the worst that could happen? The teacher sees that you care about the class but you don’t earn an extra point…

Also, I always keep a “grade sheet” with my grades from every assignment/the point/percent value of the assignment and I can usually accurately predict my average; then if there’s a problem, I compare my grade sheet to that of the teachers and see whats wrong.
