I took A&P last sememster....at least your teacher didn't get an e-mail from you like mine did from me after our very first test asking 'What the :angryfire is wrong with your test questions, why did you ask stuff on the test that we didn't cover or you told us we won't cover in this course?"

She knows that you care and I bet you are not the first and only 'pesky' student:) . But she will take her time and has learned how to 'deal' with it.

Hang in there you will get your grade, BTW it drives me nuts too, not to know.

As someone who will occassionally teach a class here and there let me reassure you that you are a typical student! :chuckle So, don't feel bad. Most of the instructors I've worked with are very much aware that students are anxious about their final grades. Some will e-mail final grades if you let them know ahead of time. Others have had students bring in self-addressed and stamped post cards they can just write your grade on and drop in the mail. I've seen a couple of profs who will post grades on their own webpages with some kind of code attached that only you and he know about. A lot of instuctors, I noticed lately, are resorting to using scantron graded or computer graded tests to get instant feedback. In my health information management classes our tests are all on the computer. Once you click the "finished" button, you are instantly given your grade and you can get a print out of the questions you missed. We walk out of our final exams knowing exactly how we did on our final and what our final course grade is. Modern technology--gotta love it.

Nope, I don't think you are a pest at all. I do it, and most of our professors have their own websites where they post the grades. I usually email them and can get my grade before it's posted. I am sure they were once students and know the agony of waiting :rotfl:

Good luck :balloons:

You are so normal! In my nursing program, we are lucky because we usually know within the hour of how we did on our exams, they know better than to torture us that way :) Once this last semester we had to wait a whole day to find out an exam grade, and I had my class at 730am, people were coming in stating that they couldn't sleep and one lady was crying! I do remember when I was taking my pre-req's though having to wait! I bet the teachers giggle when they get some of those emails, heck they were students at one point too :p

You're not a pest at all, and it is quite normal! :)

I'm sure it may get annoying after the 100th e-mail asking for grades, but at the same time, I'm also sure they would rather the students care about their grades. :)

Hope you did extra well!
