my teacher wants to change my grade from a C+ to B+ now

<p>i used my hypnotic powers on him and now he wants to do it. it's going to take some paperwork to change since it's my official transcript that has to be adjusted. i just hope the hypnosis doesn't wear off when the time comes for him to make the change. i have what he said in an email where he said he made a mistake and i have his "profuse" apologies, that my grade should have been a B+ not a C+.so if he pussyfoots on this at the last minute then i can produce the email to coral him back in.</p>

<p>i really don't know why he wants to change it to be honest. i emailed him in early january saying could you tell me the breakdown of my grade, like what i got for hw, and for the tests, and so on. i just wanted to know because that was the only class i did any homework in that term and i wanted to see how much it helped my grade. i told him, im cool with the C, i got plenty of C's before, i can take the C, but what i cannot take, what i refuse to accept, is not knowing how much those candle light nights in the kitchen spent hunched over my computer typing up my math hw meant to my final grade. i didn't say it like that but the thought really haunted me. the C didn't reflect the labor i had poured into my hw, so i wanted to know if he'd at least received it and how many points i'd made in that category. tests didn't matter, i only spent a few hours on those combined. the homework was where my dedication to the class was shown (it wasn't shown in attendance or participation because i rarely attended, i dropped hw off before class started and then left on the three occasions i turned the home works for that preceding month in).</p>

<p>but when he replied to me one month later, in early february, just a few days ago, he didn't really reply to anything my said in my overly wordy and long email to him. he was just like, looks like i calculated your grade wrong, im so sorry, you get a B+. and bam, my confidence went through then roof when i read that.</p>

<p>i beamed. a B+ would put all my unsettled feelings over the effort i put into homework and the paltry acknowledgement i got for it (the C+) to rest. </p>

<p>i just hope this really happens. (the class was "real analysis 1" if anyone wanted to know that detail and the professors name i should probably keep to myself, but he was really nice for doing this so maybe i should think of something to get him like maybe wine).</p>

<p>it’s not that your teacher wants to change your grade, it’s that he sees that the grade he gave you is not correct. Given that the only reason for the switch is his mistake in the first place, I think you should write him a thank you email for taking the time to re-calculate the grade, but I wouldn’t do much beyond that.</p>

<p>no wine? BUT I WANTED TO GIVE HIM A PRESENT.</p>

<p>its okay. i made such a mess of things already. i emailed him saying i wanted to add one of his classes and that i’d show up to add it this week, but i never showed up. my new plan was to go his office tomorrow, the last day that it’s possible to add any classes, but he doesn’t have any office hours on fridays. shoot shoot shoot. so now he knows i wanted to add his class but failed to add it. man, i don’t want to have to look at him, but what happens when i need to sign those forms to make the grade change final. i hope i can do that on my own.</p>

<p>Tbh, I think you’re making a big deal over something really minor. Relax! </p>

<p>He has to change your grade because he calculated it wrong. You blabbed and said you’d add his class but you didn’t. I’ve done the saame thing, and it’s not a big deal. The worst that happens is you see your prof at the coffee shop and they say “So, I thought you said you’d be in my class?” and you say “I’m sorry, but I couldn’t fit it into my schedule.” They don’t really care about that kind of stuff. They understand that your life is crazy. </p>

<p>Just send him a thank you email. If you’d like, you could also just put the forms in his mailbox at the department office. </p>

<p>Avoiding someone is not a good thing to do. Just take care of the grade thing, and say something nice, like you learned a lot from the class, and don’t worry about the adding a course thing at all.</p>
