Feel like I am being taken advantage of...

Applying to College

<p>This past semester I had a professor that was very lax on so many things. There are two test scores that I unaware of because he never returned them. He also failed to hand back many completed assignments. My problem is huge. He grades on a point system. Here it is:</p>

<p>Course grades will reflect percentages of 720 possible points. Five exams will be given with each worth 100 points.</p>

<p>Attendance 30 points
Participation 20
4 Journals 100
Research 50
1 quiz 20
5 Exams 500</p>

<hr>

<p>720 points total right? Now this...</p>

<p>letter equivalents
A 90%+ 648-720 points
B 80%+ 576-647
C 70%+ 504-575
D 60%+ 432-503
F less than 60% <432</p>

<p>Here's the kicker- We only had 4 Exams not 5. Wouldn't this scale be thrown off? How would he have to readjust his grading scale? Wouldn't you have to change things!?</p>

<p>What, exactly, is it that stopped you from visiting him during his office hours and asking about the assignments that he didn’t return in class?</p>

<p>You are going to encounter a lot of disorganized professors (and others) in your life. The time to start developing self-advocacy skills is now.</p>

<p>So… go to him and ASK him?</p>
