<p>Hi everybody,</p>
<p>I'm 0.4 points off an A in AP US, (1362.2/1514) or 89.973 percent. My teacher's rounding policy is based off of perceived effort. While I act somewhat flippant in class, I am an active participant and are quite dilligent about doing the work at home. I think he probably believes that I have not put in good enough effort and refuses to round. What suggestions do you all have to convince him that we should find 0.4 points someplace.</p>
<p>Before the semester ends, start participating in class by answering his questions, asking a question about a topic, not falling asleep in class or talking in class. If you really need the points, ask him if you can write a research paper on the topic you’re studying in class and present your research to the class. If you do this, make sure it’s top-notch. Good Luck.</p>
<p>Semester ended today. I got one of the highest grades on the final out of both sections, so he knows I’m smart. I think he probably thinks that because I’m smart I didn’t put in enough effort over the semester.</p>
