Tactful way to remind professor to fix grade?

Published

When I got my last exam back in A and P, I noticed that the grading seemed off so I approached my professor and asked her to explain her grading process ( nicely, of course) like I was confused, to not come off as accusatory. Turns out it was added up as 10 pts lower than in should be. Well, a week later it hadn't been fixed in the blackboard grade book, so I shot her an e-mail just asking when the change would be reflected on black board, and she said the next day. Fast forward 2 weeks and it still hasnt been changed. How can I ask her again without being annoying? I know it seems trivial, but 10 pts is a good amount to just brush off. I know she is busy but I don't want her to forget about it. What would you do,

I would just send them another email stating that you don't mean to pester them but just wanted to send them a friendly reminder. And then thank them.

Yes I second that. Either email her again or next time you see her in class, speak to her about it. After speaking to her in person, you can email her to follow up if the grade is still not changed.
