this semester, a professor cheated me on grades. i cant prove it, but im 99% sure.
iv got 97-100% on all the exams, and i did all the hw, and im pretty sure i did really well on the presentation, but i still ended up with an A-, when i asked him, he said i was .33% away from an A, which does not make sense. I asked him several times to tell me the grades he has documented for me, and he keeps beating around the bush, saying an A- isnt bad, and that he cant bump me up because its unfair, and a bunch of other bs. (this was through email btw)
what should i do?
hes out of town right now, so ill have to wait till he gets back to go to his office, but should i go to him, or should i just complain directly to the department head?
any one had any similar situations? how did u solve it?
I'm sorry that sucks. Unfortunately, grades really are up to the prof. If he gave you an A-, it's unlikely anyone else would "overrule" him on that (and the dept head probably can't anyway; it'd likely have to be a dean or the provost to override a professor's decision). Your only option really is to take it up with the professor. If he still refuses to give you an A, you probably just need to walk away from this in a dignified manner. Pushing this too far may cause FAR more damage than an A- could (esp. since an A- isn't going to cause any damage to begin with) through a loss of reputation in the dept resulting in poor or reserved LORs.
