How subjective are 1L grades? Forum

Yeah, seriously OP, just go apologize like a normal adult human being with some semblance of social skills and tact. And be less obnoxious in the future.

I just caught up on The League and I can't stop reading your posts in Rafi's voice.

You're my sister and you got my dick hard. That's how great of a kisser you are.

This could jeopardize recommendation letters, research assistant opportunities, and other things that could be beneficial to you.

This is the only actual consequence of whatever it is you did in class. I got my first RA gig because of a prof's recommendation to another prof who was looking for an RA. I had no idea this was even happening until the second prof emailed me out of the blue and asked if I would be her RA.

It will have zero impact on your final exam grade.

Why is everyone repeating this stupid af advice? Most schools, as far as I know, give professors some wiggle room to adjust grades after exams have been blind graded. And LOL just LOL at professors only bumping people. It is a zero sum game, idiots. So my advice is to see how much discretion your professors have.

I don't think prof's only bump people, but in a large 1L doctrinal class, it is simply impossible for the prof to know enough about everyone to adjust grades up or down. It's not a high bar. You come to class, you answer if you're cold-called, and that's it. If you meet that bare minimum standard, then all you have to do is do well on the final exam...er, better than everyone else on the final exam.

We're not talking about whether it's possible for profs to bump/drop (I believe for most schools it's 1/3 of the grade so an A- to an A and vice versa). We're saying that in practice, it hardly ever happens. The one time I know of a bump was when my prof told me I was bumped because I was one of the few people (very large class) who stayed under her word limit. I was bumped up not because of what I did in her class, but because of something extreme like every one of my classmates somehow missing the fact that there was a very restrictive word limit.
