"Begging" profs for marks

[darkpurpose]

Lets say you get a 68-69 (C+) as a final mark in a class, and you just need that extra push to fulfill gpa requirements. Is it possible to "beg" for that B- or do extra assignments or whatever? I've never done this before so I don't know...I'm at Ryerson if that matters...

Good luck, you better be good at doing stuff under the table. <===

I'd say 99.9% no once marks are released... try to do it right after you bomb your final. It wouldn't be fair to everyone.

Really depends on the prof.

For example: If you've attended all the classes, showed initiative in learning, were actively participating then yes,

If you skipped a lots of classes, didn't follow the above, then u should beg and see

I went to Ryerson too, and some profs were generous and they did that, some didn't.

Good luck.

Many professors are accurate in their marking scheme.

I always had marks around 77-79% (B+) but they never pushed me up to 80% (A-)

Begging profs for marks will work in College. But, rarely happens in University. Maybe 2 out of 10 profs.

In that kind of situation when someone needs a certain grade to reach the minimal requirements to continue in a program, they don't deserve to be in University.

You never know which way he swings

Doesn't hurt to try. Results obviously vary based on circumstances.

Realistically, just try to demonstrate that you're not the typical half assed student that most teachers despise.

On the other hand, if the teacher is a hard marker in general, you're usually screwed.

i tried that with my prof, but he said once the final marks are up on ROSI (i go to UTSC.. not sure what system u guys use) there's nothing he can do, even if he was willing to boost up my mark.

but yeah.. it doesn't hurt to try asking anyway.

The earlier to you talk to profs about your marks, the better. But once the marks are in RAMSS and past the appeal period, the profs can't change them.

-1. profs can submit forms to have the marks changed. my mark showed up on ROSI and it was wrong, i asked the prof for clarification and he found an error when entering marks.

^ Thanks for that info, as I attend UTSC as well. I should really check with one of my profs if my grade is indeed correct, even though it has already been posted on ROSI.

My friend was screwed over he got a 65+ on his final mark for management, which would have meant he got 50% on the exam, which he was sure he didn't. He emailed the prof at UTSC, and they didn't enter his mark correctly which boosted his marks by 10%. So yeah, it'd be good to check.
