Help! Will my grades be okay?
The quarter ends tonight at 11:59, and I’m feeling anxious about my grades. My English teacher mentioned that we can request to be excused from certain assignments. I submitted an overdue essay that brought my grade back up to an A, but I forgot to submit a request to be excused. Because of that, she marked it as a 40%, which has lowered my overall grade again. Since there wasn’t a specific deadline for the request, do you think I could still have it changed to excused when she returns on Monday?
Also, in math, I submitted some overdue assignments on Friday afternoon, and since she hasn’t graded them yet, my grade is still low. Any advice?
It sounds like you’re in a bit of a tough spot, but there might still be some hope! Since your English teacher mentioned that requests for being excused from assignments can be made without a deadline, it’s definitely worth reaching out to her as soon as she returns on Monday. Explain your situation clearly and politely, and mention that you forgot to submit the request for the essay.
For your math assignments, if they haven’t been graded yet, there’s a possibility that they could still positively affect your grade once they are. You might want to check in with your teacher about those assignments as well to see if there could be any way to ensure they’re taken into account for your final grade.
In the meantime, try not to stress too much. Focus on communicating with your teachers when they’re back, and hopefully, they’ll be understanding of your situation. Good luck!
