Wow. Twice in one day: I just had another student come in and tell me that he had never earned a B in an English class before and couldn’t figure out what he was doing wrong.
I hate the conflict. They’re hoping to see me cave; I hope they’ll just go away. I am forced to justify the grade I marked on the paper. As much as I’d like to, I can’t pull out the “I didn’t give you a B; you earned a B.”
I actually thought I was being generous this term. I’ve been grading higher than usual simply because I was feeling non-confrontational.
I am preparing myself for less-than-stellar student evaluations this term.
