I am very sorry sir but I can't take this from you. I deserve more than this, I deserve more to compensate the quality time I spent learning. The good news is that there is still a 70% chance that your teacher will listen to you and give you the opportunity to increase your grade but the bad news is that you might have to proof your knowledge to him once again.
Are you sad because your teacher gave you an undergrade?. Do you think you deserve more than what he gave you?. Do you feel cheated-upon?. Do you want to fight for a better grade?. Is he a gentle man?. Perhaps you feel like kicking your teachers as*. I hope your answers are YES, if not please don't read on.
Don't kick his as*. Below are the steps you need to follow to make him increase that grade.
There are few things we have to consider;
Answers will be checked immediately after the test, which means all students will know their grades few minutes after the test. Answers will be checked few days after the test which means the results wont be posted online or offline same day. The best situation is always situation A:
I think situation A is best because you probably would have more time to argue with your teacher and that means you would have more chances to win the argument.
Just let your classmates leave the room before attacking your teacher politely about the result of your test. Tell him Mr/Mrs...../Sir/Madam I am sorry but I think I should get something higher than this. That should be your first sentence or something much better than that like; Sir you gave me an under-grade which I am not satisfied with.
Ok am gonna use my situation as an example, here is what happened: Once upon a time, I wrote a test and got a good grade not that poor but I felt cheated upon because I spent so much time, I mean I spent quality time trying to understand the instructions/materials. The test had 4 questions and I was able to answered 3 1/5 questions correctly, so what the heck. It was a situation A, so I followed the approach above. Although it was not easy because that teacher was not so gentle and he didn't want to increase my grade because he felt he gave me what I deserved but I didn't think I deserved that. He invited me to his office and asked me few more questions about the topic which I was able to answered correctly because I was very prepared for the test but still he was not satisfied and he gave me an extra homework to solve and bring it to him during his next office hour. Here is what I did then, the homework he gave me was quite different from the topic I was taught and little bit harder than the test I wrote, so I used a trick which was to take the homework to another teacher to solve them for me then take it back to this difficult teacher for a better grade and it worked perfectly. Fire for Fire.
Situation B:
For situation B all you have to do is go home and relax, but be aware of your teacher's consultation period. Go to him during his consultation period but make sure you are the first person to consult him, I mean be at the front of his office 15 minutes before his consultation period starts because you will need few minutes to catch your breath and to prepare yourself for the last time before the attack.
Knock on his door twice. Greet him Ask him if you can come in If yes then, then start your conversation right away on your feet. Sir I believe you gave me an under-grade.
Preparation Guide
You have to be sure you have more than an average knowledge of what you were thought. Give him few effective/good reasons why you deserve a better grade. Make sure you already know your mistakes and ready to make a correction. Take with you any material, textbook, notebook that would be helpful to back your words/knowledge. Prepare your argument and be ready to argue politely. Be prepared to answer any side questions correctly and within a short period of time. Do not forget that there is still a 30% of no changes. Ask for another chance. Please leave a comment if I am missing something.
No More Failure For Students.
