Student raise of grade form

STUDENT RAISE OF GRADE FORM

Dear Professor:_________________________________________Date:_______________

My grade in ___________________________ should be raised from __________
to ______ because:

1. There must be a mistake somewhere.
2. I was not well at the time of the examination.
3. My mind always goes blank during an examination.
4. This mark ruined my prospect of getting a scholarship.
5. This is the only course in which I received a poor grade
6. This mark greived my mother (or Father). whose pride I am.
7. Conditons in the room were not conductive to concentration.
8. The examination was unfair and unfairly distributed over the subjec
9. I have to work after school and nights; therefore I should be given
a break.
10. I am married; therefore, I should be given a break.
11. I would have done much better if I had taken the examination give t
one of the other sections.
12. Several people around me copied from my paper during the examinatio
yet they received higher marks than I did. Surely this is not fair.
13. The reason I did not do better is because I am very honest. I do no
wish to say anything against any other members of the class.
14. I know many of the class members who do not work as hard as I do an
who got a better grade. I am recognized among my classmates as a
good student - you just ask any one of them.
15. The question were ambiguous, and therefore, my answers should be
graded according to the reasonable interpretations that I made of
your questions.
16. Many of the questions could not be answered with straight facts;
they were matters of opinion. I do not believe I should be penalize
just because my opinions differ from those of the instructor.
17. I have studied this subject from the broad philosophical viewpoint
and therefore, I was unable to answer your technical-based question
18. I am philosophically oriented to the realm of ideas; I respond to
the sweep and scope of great intelects. My work is beyond the
interest in petty details and parrot-like memorizing of those who
are merely students
19. At the time of the exzm i was suffering from a severe case of
cognitive dissonance and was incapable of coping with the stress
of the hour.
20. It is not a higher mark I seek; I care nothing about marks; I think
marks are wicked and I dasapprove of them. However, this pernicious
system of which I am a victim requires marks for achieving success
and therefore, I seek a higher mark.
