To B or not to B
Durn it all to heck.
Got my grades for this semester, and I got a frickin' frakkin' B in Accounting. Not even a B+, but a straight ol' run-of-the-mill B.
While this isn't the worst grade in the world, what has my panties in a bunch is that I kept record of all my grades, and as far as I can tell, I clearly got a A- according to the grade scale in the prof's syllabus. The difference between my total earned points and a B on the very top of grade scale is at least 20 points (the equivalent of 4 homework assignments or 1-2 quizzes or an entire case study) so the prof and I are way off. I've emailed her my records and asked her to let me know where we are disconnected.
The thing that has me further annoyed is that the dumbass online tool that the prof made us purchase out of our pocket to make her life easier for grading is no longer active, so I can't get back into it to double check my records or prove anything, if that's what it comes down to.
This is the first grade I've ever contested in any class; high school/college/grad school. The meek shy nerdy me is all nervous about it.
