So I have a B- in one of my courses after earning 20 extra credit points (before it was a C+). The thing is, I want my grade to be at least an A-. The gradebook only has participation, quizzes, and tests, all of which are equal weight (point-based system). There is an option for me to read 20 chapters of a book for 2 extra credit points per chapter. Would it be wrong for me to read all these chapters to get an A-, a grade that I probably don’t deserve to get?
My quizzes and tests have been either really, really bad (F, D, and C) or decent (B). I don’t say a word in class and I rarely see my teacher after school.
Its not that I don’t study. I actually study a lot for the tests, but I have been using a method that didn’t really work for me for half of the semester. Other times I just do poorly because I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night before.
What would you do in this situation? Leave it as is, or try to work for that A, even if you probably don’t deserve it?
