Feeling guilty

What an interesting dilemma . I know what I would do, and that's not say a word and take my chances, but I think it's ultimately up to you to decide.

Well, the right thing to do would be to bring it to his attention as soon as possible. You can't use the excuse of his being busy to justify not bringing up the issue. Would you not ask your preceptor for important guidance on patient care becuase they were busy? Sounds like you are doing well in the class and a C would be a partial setback. I would urge you to do what is right and bring this up.

In addition, you mention that "everyone is telling me to leave it alone and be thankful." This tells me you have shared this with others. Believe me, they have shared that with others as well. If you don't bring it up, someone who is dissatisfied with their grade may bring it up for you.

When I said everyone I meant family, I should have clarified that. I learned along time ago not to share grades with other students let alone problems about grades because of drama.

wow

i'm sort of speechless! half of me would want to just run with the a but the other half insist i do the right thing. i honestly would have to report it to my professor. this is an important class and it is the foundation of nursing. if "i" don't know it then i need to know in order to fix it. we all go thur the pressure of exams and all the info we know gets foggy! for me i want to get thur my classes with the feeling i know my stuff. so i will take the c and ask for extra credit to help my grade. whatever you decide is your choice that you have to live with. just remember people will look up to you and accept you to know your stuff...good luck

Thanks for the advice ladies! I am usually very honest heck I was short on 30 cents at the store on campus this past Friday and paid it back today plus some. I am thinking of meeting with my professor to discuss this. I also wanted to say that our grade is only from tests, no extra credit what so ever!

I understand how you feel. I believe it was no error, the Professor did that because he knows your ability. Just leave it alone and say thank God, don't feel guilty at all.

I doubt it was an error either. I can understand a few questions being missed, but not much more than that. Do you think he could have graded on a curve, thrown questions out, or accepted multiple answers? Except for the curve, I've had all the above happen to me and the professor forgot to explain or didn't have time.

I was thinking the same thing as the previous poster...that perhaps it was a difficult test and maybe there was a curve? Ultimately, I think I would have to come clean. If you normally get high B's, would one bad test grade ruin your average?

Sounds like what happened to me. Does your professor go over the test questions in class?

Thanks again for the replies. He did announce to the class that he threw one question out and gave us all 2 pts for a curve, however those pts would bring me up to to a D+/C-/. This is my 2nd semester with him as my professor and he has never given 21 point curve. Including myself 28 ppl got B's and A's, 58 ppl got a C or lower.

Sounds like he threw questions out or added a curve. My A&P teacher does that. I would meet with him just to clarify, though. If he didn't mean to give you that grade, at least you got what you earned. If he did, then you will feel better knowing that everyone got a little boost and you did a great job!

When I took A&P my professor told us that if she made a mistake in grading, then to just go with it. I never had that issue, but she made it clear when discussing the syllabus that it could happen, and if it did, good for whoever she gave the better grade to!!
