This is an email do you think i can convince my professor to allow me to do an extra credit to change my grade

I do know who you are. The grade you received is based on your grades and class participation. I have re-reviewed your scores and I did not make a mistake in computing your grade. While you may not agree with it, I believe the grade is appropriate. Your midterm and final exam grade are based solely on your performance on the exam with the benefit of the curve which I gave to the entire class. Additionally I gave you 20 out of a possible 25 points for attendance and class participation (15 points for attendance and 10 points for participation). Your recollection of your class participation is very different than mine. As I explained when the class first met, I value class discussion and debate. While I cannot grade heavily for this, I do take into account how a student participates in class discussions. There are students who participated regularly by asking questions and engaging in discussions when topics were put before the class. There were others who chose not to participate at all in the class discussions and then there were those who were somewhere in the middle.



I can appreciate your concern about your grade, but I do not believe your grade should be changed.This is an email do you think i can convince my professor to allow me to do an extra credit to change my grade
It sounds like you have already tried to change your teacher's mind, and it didn't work. Give up and stop bugging him. Like I said before, an 84 is not the end of the world.This is an email do you think i can convince my professor to allow me to do an extra credit to change my grade
I think you just need to accept and respect your professor's decision. Giving you extra credit and not giving the rest of the class extra credit is giving you an unfair advantage. If anything, continuing to ask your professor for extra credit or bug him about your grade will make the matter worse.
