What I will do for 1.43% of my final grade.....(long w/ cliff notes)

[Kratzer]

if my calculations are correct than this is the difference between a C+ and a B-. Kind of a big deal, GPA-wise.

Kratzer,

I was VP Academic of my university in college and sat on a bunch of committees that dealt with these decisions all the time. You have a very clear case where the professor wrote something in the syllabus that could be construed as 2/3. Prof has to stick to the syllabus. Take it to the departmental head and then the Dean/Ombudsman.

Hmmm What do you think of someone who does the bare minimum? Everyone else did all three, don't you want to represent yourself??

[Kratzer]

oh i plan on it. im just waiting for his response to see what he says.

uh, i did what was instructed. he already hates me and i hate him so im not going to try and "impress" him by doing an extra question. and for those who do the bare minimum, they certainly dont waste any time/effort doing pointless things.

So what you're saying, is that you understood your profs intentions, didn't do all of the work, and jepordized your GPA, just to prove a point, and stick it to your prof?

[Kratzer]

yes

Something worth considering:

I always reviewed my test grades in class. I found that a lot of professors would be VERY lazy in marking things wrong, and not too great about figuring out partial credit.

In one particular class, every single test I was able to increase my score by 20% (with little to no argument). That's a huge difference in a grade letter.
