That's still pretty darn good, but I'd be pissed at that as well. When did they start grading to the bloody 100,000th of a point? That's rediculous. This society has gone bonkers. That's a 90% and sorry, the weak justification of not rounding due to being ethical is crap. Who on earth brought in marks to that degree of exactness anyway? Pffft
@OlderDude thank you, yes!! that specific of a number makes it seem like its an exacting science experiment when really the grade includes a ton of like subjective stuff too!!
It's crazy when that happens, of course you could always try talking with your teacher, sometimes you can ask for an extra way to bump it up just a tad, like bonus assignment, or redoing an assignment, and sometimes they'll just give it to you....
Worse they can do is say no (and sometimes they do that too).
@GirlSerendipity But is that fair to the person who studied her ass off and got a 90.1%?? There has to be some cut off. It sucks for sure and I'm sorry you ended up on that side of it, but there has to be some cut off.
By every rule I was taught it does average out to 90%. Oh, except where money was concerned, a fraction like that could be irrefutable proof of serious corruption!
I hate to bring this up but in presenting your argument, you were too lazy to proofread your own post. The difference between your grade & an A- is not .00024%.It is .05023%. I'm not commenting on whether I would have cut you some slack, just that I would have seen that kind of sloppiness as an argument against. You're asking me for an academic favor, yet it's not important enough to YOU to check that the supplication is done properly. However, I have a soft spot for nurses, who have a very stressful job that is not acknowledged to be as important as it is. I might have let you skate.
