Ask to make an appointment with the professor or assistant to discuss how you got the grade and how you may be able to avoid getting that type of grade on the next assignments. Professors generally will look favorably upon students who are putting a concerted effort into their course and doing their best to improve.
Dear Name of Professor: This is a formal request that you change my grade in Biology 101 for the fall semester DATE from a C to a B. I understand why you gave me a C grade, but I hope you will change it because of certain circumstances that were beyond my control.
You should treat asking for a better grade as you would asking for more money. You want to convince the professor that your work is undervalued and you deserve more for it. Tell them you want to respond to each one of their comments individually. Point to a comment, speak your piece, and then continue on.
I am going through the answer sheets of subject __________ (Mention) and found ______ (question number not check/improper marks/eligible for grace marks/any other), due to which the overall grade is changed. I kindly request you to please go through the answer sheet again and revise my grades.
You don’t so much take an Incomplete as ask for one. The procedure is pretty straightforward: you need to discuss the possibility with your instructor by the last day of class. If your instructor is willing, then the two of you will work out a plan to complete your remaining work in the course.
They Do Have Favorite Students
If it feels like your professor plays favorites, you’re probably right, to some degree. Quinnipiac professor R says that she definitely gets to know and like certain students more than others. … However, even students who aren’t teacher’s pet can still make a lasting impression.
The date, student ID number, name of the course in question, name of the professor and the grade that is being disputed are items that should be included in a grade appeal letter format. It is important that the letter be as brief as possible while still presenting all relevant facts.
In contrast to a withdrawal (or a failing grade), incompletes can be changed on your transcript once the required coursework is completed. You will usually be given a certain amount of time to finish the course requirements, at which point you will receive a grade just as if you’d never stopped and restarted the class.
In this case, the student must contact his or her instructor to inquire about the possibility of getting an I grade. The request should be submitted prior to the last day of class. In the request, students should identify the assignments that remain and the timeline of when the missing assignments will be submitted.
Regardless of the prof’s perspective, the “I” policy is there for a reason. … Your prof may refuse for a valid reason–such as that he/she will be on leave for the next term or academic year–and the division chair might be able to find someone else to take the “I” over.
Don’t immediately launch into the reasons why you failed; this might make your teacher suspect that you’re making up an excuse. Acknowledge that you made a mistake in doing poorly on the test. Tell your teacher that you accept responsibility for the test and that you’re trying to be responsible by asking for a retake.

Many teachers face the struggle of what to do about students they find attractive and even those students who come on to them. Although it’s seldom talked about, Reddit found more than a few teachers who had crushes on students and were willing to admit it.
Just like other human beings, academics will tend to remember students who they have had regular one-on-one contact with over a sustained period of time. They are unlikely to remember students who they have met only in group settings (e.g., in lectures, etc.) or only on sporadic occasions.
No laws would be broken if they were both adults, assuming consent of course and that the student is not special needs.
That said, science has indicated that learning is most effective between 10 am to 2 pm and from 4 pm to 10 pm, when the brain is in an acquisition mode. On the other hand, the least effective learning time is between 4 am and 7 am.
The short answer is yes. I’ve worked with a number of students who had bad grades in high school, but went on to do well in college. However, if your grades reflect poor choices on your part, it’s going to be harder to convince an admissions officer that you’re really college material.
If the student is not satisfied with the instructor’s response could submit a written appeal to Chair of the Department. Use an official appeal from if exists. Chair of the Department should then meet with the Professor to discuss the Grade. After the meeting, Chair can agree with the Professor or Disagree.
A successful appeal must demonstrate that you understand what went wrong, take responsibility for the academic failures, outline a clear plan for future academic success, and demonstrate that you are being honest with yourself and the committee.
