LOR inquiry?

The story:

I took this professor a few years ago for an intro class and we never spoke (only email) and I got less than a B in the class. Flashforward to now.

I recently took an upper level class with the prof and aced the class. And I spoke to this prof after nearly every class.

The dilemma: At my school, its amazing if you are able to get a LOR from this prof. I asked if he could write one for me. The response asked if I took the intro class with him and if so, WHEN I did. (but NOT the grade). To my classmates, its an accomplishment not to get a no thanks immediately.

Will he check the transcript database and see that crummy grade from a few years back? Or does he just want to know for the letter?

By the way, if anyone cares, I've compiled a list of schools that don't consider an LOR from a math prof as a science letter. Here it is so far.

NO- PCOM, A.T STILL, ACOM, PNWU, UNMC

YES- Brody
