Change of Grade
Wednesday, 23 of May , 2007 @ 3:40 am
Last semester, I got a 2.0 in one of my classes. What the hell. When I get low grades in, say, Math or Science, I accept it because I know I suck at those subjects, so I get a deserving grade for my efforts. But this time, I didn’t feel like I deserved this, not only because it was an easy class but because I really enjoyed it, and I worked extra hard even if it was just a General Education subject. It pulled my GWA down by a few points, which is something I really don’t need considering I have a 5.0 in one of my subjects and I’m still clinging onto my laude dreams.
I couldn’t imagine getting a grade that low considering that I submitted all the requirements AND aced the first exam. I probably didn’t do that well in the second (and last) exam because it was kind of hard, but still. I remember studying well and being able to answer most of the items correctly.  So I texted one of my professors (there were two teachers) asking for a breakdown of my grades. She didn’t reply. Later I found out that she was in Thailand, so I sent her an email. She replied right away, but she said I had to wait for 3 weeks until she gets back to see my grades.
So after the wait, my prof finally sent me a breakdown. I got full points on all my requirements, except for the first exam which was 94/100.  My second exam, however, was 41/90. What the fuck. Impossible. So I asked to see my blue book.
So long story short, I saw my blue book. I was right - the other professor (the prof I was talking to wasn’t the one who checked my paper) forgot to add up the points in one section of my exam. Instead of 41/90, I got 78/90. And instead of a 2.0, I should’ve gotten a 1.25.
What a relief. Well, the grade can be changed as per university rules. Luckily, it’s the professors who do it for you since they’re the ones who committed an error. Yehey.

From reading this, I have learned that - I should take note of my grades so I can combat teachers who give low grades. Like that Kas teacher of mine. But it’s too late for that now. Freakin’ 2.5
