If I ask my teacher for a small grade boost on my final grade and explain myself and they do not accept it, can they ultimately lower my grade because I asked them?
Be brief, very polite and very nice. Accept whatever they say without complaint or argument.
Do you have a good reason? Why do you need a grade boost?
If you don’t have a good reason then I would forget it.
I’m on scholarship and I want to maintain a 2.5. I got a C- in the course, but I was hoping he could bring it up to a C. I did much better on the final than I did all semester due to ROTC being over.
