<p>My grade in my class is a B+ (89.1) in AP Chemistry and I know that I have been getting high scores on my test and quizzes that should put me at a solid A. I recently recieved a 70% on a 48 point lab and a 100% on a 60 point test... </p>
<p>Should I ask him if I can check my grade? How may I approach teachers in situations like these where they do not post your grade history? </p>
<p>Also, how do you guys resolve conflicts when you think teachers may have graded something incorrectly? I find that some teachers are extremely picky in their grading and take off points for things that seem right. What do you guys do in these cases? Is it worth it to argue for what you think is right, or take the grade and avoid conflicts between the teacher and yourself?</p>
<p>I always confront the teacher if I think they marked a test/lab wrong...those points can really add up. Whenever you see a potential/arguable answer, always talk to your teacher the day he/she passes it back. Be careful...you don't want to seem annoying for asking for points all the time. Its definetly worth the argument. Whats the worst that could happen? The teacher sees that you care about the class but you don't earn an extra point...</p>
<p>Also, I always keep a "grade sheet" with my grades from every assignment/the point/percent value of the assignment and I can usually accurately predict my average; then if there's a problem, I compare my grade sheet to that of the teachers and see whats wrong.</p>
<p>Trust me. Always confront the teacher. All teachers have a panic mode and saying the right things will make them give up.</p>
<p>If it was graded unfairly, simply ask to talk to he/her about it. Argue your point about how you were right. And ask if he/she can look at your assignment again.</p>
<p>I argued my point and a teacher of mines went into panic mode knowing she tried to give me an undeserving grade (B-) I told her to regrade it immediately and she gave me a B+.</p>
<p>Ask, because they're human and they make mistakes. They could've very well marked your test wrong or switched it with someone else's by accident.</p>
