how do go about questioning your mark got a c an then got markded down to a D?

Answer 1

As a professor, I can say the most successful cases are when a student has a clearly explained, concrete explanation for why a mark should be improved.

Arguments that don't work:

- I'm trying to get into medical school. (What do I care? What does that have to do with your grade on this assignment?)
- I tried really hard. (If your doctor "tried really hard" but still completely screwed up your surgery, how forgiving would you be?)
- I didn't have time because my other classes take up so much of my time. (In other words, your other classes are more important than this one? Even if that's true, it's best not to say it out loud.)

Be clear why you think your mark needs to be changed before you ask. More often than not, the student who asks me to review a grade was one that I was already generous with. So the request to "change a grade" often results in the student getting the grade they deserved in the first place--the lower one.

Answer 2

Never be afraid to ask a question, or try to get more marks. It is never bad to find out a reason for something being done. If you do things for a reason, you can never go wrong because you can always explain yourself.

Answer 3

just say to your lecturer tht you think your being discriminated against because they have dropped you marks then they will feel guilty and give you a b for all the trouble

Answer 4

Go talk to the prof first. One of the professors I TA for knocks your grade down a whole letter grade if you ask them to bump it up for you. It's in the syllabus, so it's perfectly legal. See if he/she knows what happened.

Answer 5

Was it for your spelling by chance?
