I just received word that I failed one of my classes by 1.4 points. Very disheartening. I guess what bothers me most about this is that at the start of the program, we were given the weighted percentages of our grades. The grades were 60% - tests, 30% - final, and 10% assignments. Half-way through the year, at semester break, our instructor changed our grading to 60% - tests, 35% - final and 5% assignments. Had the breakdown been left the same as when the program started, I would have passed and then some. Also, our instructor indicated she was "trending" some of the grades. What this means in her class is - if at least half of the students got the same answer wrong, they get points back. However, those of us who answered that particular question correct don't get anything. I guess another instructor trends grades as well, but her thoughts are if everyone misses the same question, she feels she didn't cover the material well enough for anyone to understand. Therefore, she gives points back to everyone. I'm not sure I agree with some getting points back and some not. It just doesn't seem right. I am considering an appeal of my grade. Opinions?
