- STUDENT RAISE OF GRADE FORM
-
- Dear Professor:_________________________________________Date:_______________
-
- My grade in ___________________________ should be raised from __________
- to ______ because:
-
- 1. There must be a mistake somewhere.
- 2. I was not well at the time of the examination.
- 3. My mind always goes blank during an examination.
- 4. This mark ruined my prospect of getting a scholarship.
- 5. This is the only course in which I received a poor grade
- 6. This mark greived my mother (or Father). whose pride I am.
- 7. Conditons in the room were not conductive to concentration.
- 8. The examination was unfair and unfairly distributed over the subjec
- 9. I have to work after school and nights; therefore I should be given
- a break.
- 10. I am married; therefore, I should be given a break.
- 11. I would have done much better if I had taken the examination give t
- one of the other sections.
- 12. Several people around me copied from my paper during the examinatio
- yet they received higher marks than I did. Surely this is not fair.
- 13. The reason I did not do better is because I am very honest. I do no
- wish to say anything against any other members of the class.
- 14. I know many of the class members who do not work as hard as I do an
- who got a better grade. I am recognized among my classmates as a
- good student - you just ask any one of them.
- 15. The question were ambiguous, and therefore, my answers should be
- graded according to the reasonable interpretations that I made of
- your questions.
- 16. Many of the questions could not be answered with straight facts;
- they were matters of opinion. I do not believe I should be penalize
- just because my opinions differ from those of the instructor.
- 17. I have studied this subject from the broad philosophical viewpoint
- and therefore, I was unable to answer your technical-based question
- 18. I am philosophically oriented to the realm of ideas; I respond to
- the sweep and scope of great intelects. My work is beyond the
- interest in petty details and parrot-like memorizing of those who
- are merely students
- 19. At the time of the exzm i was suffering from a severe case of
- cognitive dissonance and was incapable of coping with the stress
- of the hour.
- 20. It is not a higher mark I seek; I care nothing about marks; I think
- marks are wicked and I dasapprove of them. However, this pernicious
- system of which I am a victim requires marks for achieving success
- and therefore, I seek a higher mark.
