Hey everyone!
I am trying to do a grade appeal, if approved, i graduate nursing school..
Here is the situation..
On my exam 4, about shock and burns, there was a question about a mechanical ventilator in a burned patient...in one of the answers options it said "bun" instead of burn, so i did not pick it. Of course the misspelled word was the correct answer. I am trying to fight this question and get my point back because one point is all i need to be at a passing grade and to graduate. I am 0.17% away from what i need.
In the beginning of the semester, my professor posted an announcement stating "Never assume I have made a mistake in the answer options. If I have made a mistake it will NEVER count against you" So if this hold true, then this question should be thrown out and I would pass the class. However, my teacher is refusing to go by her word and will not award me the point. In my appeal i brought this up and it was totally ignored by my professor and used "spell check" as an excuse instead.
On top of this, she has now told me (5 days before graduation) that she made another error in calculating my exam score and I actually got one more wrong than she thought. Mind you, this exam was taken at the beginning of the semester and now is being brought up 5 days before graduation when I was trying to get my point back. If my teacher stuck by her word, none of this would be happening.
Does anyone have any tips or similar stories??
Any help would be appreciated.
thank you
