Hi guys I took english 201 during the spring semester and half way throught the spring semester i spoke to my professor about where i was academically in the class because i was thinking about dropping the class and she (the professor) told me that i was doing good and that i shouldnt drop the class so i asked her professor i need to know specificly where i am grade wise in this class am I an A,B or C student she said your a B student and when you take the midterm and final that will bump up your grade so i took the mid term got a B on it and my final was a 5 page research project so i changed my topic a few times and got a little anxiety attack and didnt show up for my final so today i recieve an email of my final grades for the classes i took this spring semester and HER FINAL GRADE FOR ME WAS A BIG FAT C if i was a b student through out the whole semester why the hell would she give me a C by school policy she is supposed to give me and incomplete or an F why would she give me a C I feel like she didnt give me an F or an incomplete or absent for final on purpose so that i couldnt take the class over next semester just be stuck with a losey C what do you guys think

This is a prime example of young people in college not wanting to take responsiblity for thier actions. Most likely if you had just showed up, did a lousy job on the final paper you would have even gotten a B. But maybe not, with it worth 1/4 of the total grade, even with a A going in, you would have had to do a D to keep a B ( I think I got that right)

I see your point, but if you don't show up for the required final, you deserve any grade you get. She/he should be thankful for the grade given.

if you dont show up your supposed to get an Incomplete period

Then consider yourself lucky. Apparently your grades were high enough that missing your final did not fail you.

The instructor must have thought you deserved the C rather than the incomplete.

I spoke with the professor and she said she's willing to change my grade, as long as I submit the research paper.
