Improving Your Course Grade

WHAT TO DO IF YOU RECEIVE A DISAPPOINTING GRADE

Do you understand why you received the grade that you did?

  • Review and reflect upon any professor’s comments.
  • If you are still lacking clarity, request a meeting with the professor.
  • When meeting with a professor, remember that it’s the student’s job to drive the meeting – not the professor – so students should prepare a list of questions or topics to discuss.

With an appreciation for how you can approach the next assignment differently, work diligently on the remaining assignments to improve your grade in the course.
