Can a teacher change my first semester grade now? Forum

[Theworm788]

If I ask my teacher to review my exams with me (so that I can learn what I did well and what I need to work on), is there a chance that my teacher will notice a clerical error and adjust my grade down? Has anyone ever heard of this happening? I go to BLS, if that matters.

I mean there's always a chance, but the professor cannot re-grade. It would have to be a mathematical error (ie..adding two numbers). Even if there were an error, most professors probably wouldnt be cruel enough to change it and reduce your grade.

Usually not unless there was some mathematical error. Allowing regrading would sway the curve towards rewarding good looking students with loose morals.

Also pretty sure it is final for two reasons:

1) changing it now would mess up the curve
2) changing one student's grade would thwart the anonymous grading system

I doubt they would go down, but I did have one professor that bumped me up when I found that he didn't give me credit for something that was in my exam. I just had to fill out a form and he signed it, and I turned it in to the registrar's office. There wasn't any discussion about it messing up the curve.
