Grade On Blackboard

Decent Essays
Good morning, I am writing you today because I am concerned about my final grade. I was looking at my grade on blackboard, and my participation grade is 10 out of 10 points; instead of 20 out of 20 points; based on what the syllabus reads. Also, my finial paper is not graded on blackboard. On the syllabus, it says the course is out of 400 points total. I do not understand how my grades are added in blackboard. As a student, I feel I tried very hard to master the material required in the course. I have re- written my disease paper four times and I have received a failing grade. I also had two different tutors helping me with my assignments. I have followed all Dr. Figueroa guidelines and went to the Learning Center for assistance. I have also met with Dr. Figueroa on many occasions to seek additional …show more content…
I have met with Dr. Figueroa and Dr. Cottrell and asked for assistance with the course. In addition, I have taken PBH452 Epidemiology course twice. This is my second F received in this course. Other courses such as PBH310 Determines of Health I received a D and Foundations of Public Health I received a F, from Dr. Figueroa who is the professor. I have emailed Dr. Figueroa and I have not received a response back. Dr. Figueroa is also my advisor, professor and coordinator for the program while Dr. Cottrell is out of office. As a student I am having a difficult problem with taking this course under Dr. Figueroa. My goal is to pass this course and complete my internship in the spring semester. I had a internship last summer at Costal Horizons, which the department approved, but Dr. Figueroa email me stated I can no longer complete my internship until completion off all coursework. I passed all my other courses this semester with A's and B and received a F in Epidemiology. I need assistance in passing this course, which is required in order to graduate. I appreciate your help in this

    There is no question that the American education system is flawed and is not the most effective to teach students a broad range of academic subjects. Students are graded on the ability to reproduce knowledge onto a piece of paper after days, weeks, or months of studying a topic. The lack of this ability results in failure to earn a passing grade in the subject matter. If the student can reproduce the desired knowledge at a highly proficient rate, they receive a rating that distinguishes them from other students. In “A Young Person’s Guide to the Grading System,” an article written by Jerry Farber, a professor of English at the University of California at San Diego, the grading system is put at fault for the flawed educational system.…

    As I began the second advisory, I started off very strong and ahead of the game. I was doing all my work and completing what I needed to receive a good grade. This was a result of me trying to keep up with my goals for the upcoming advisory too. I had left on with a B- last advisory and now that has dropped significantly. I am completely disappointed with my grade because these are not the grades I receive on a regular basis in school.…

    LOOK BACK As the Pathotherapeutics course reaches its end with only one test left to pass, I, however, feel very uncertain whether I succeeded in this course or not. The material covered in the course was not new or difficult to understand, in fact, I believe, I took very similar course during my Practical Nursing program. I did learn some new treatment options for disease and refreshed my previous knowledge; I generally satisfied with my progression in the course; however, the unknown mark for the group project makes me anxious. This anxiety arises from the fact that, even though our group made a great effort to research about the given topic and write the assignment, the expectations and marking criteria for the assignment were not properly…

    I was not able to prepare for exam 2 as well as I wanted to. I lost a lot of study time due to my summer job having just begun this week before the exam. I need to adjust my time management and study things a bit more early, that way I have less to study later on when exam 3 comes closer. In order to persevere for the rest of BIO 203, I need to remind myself why I am retaking this class and give myself motivation to keep working hard and not lose focus until the course is finished. Studying a bit everyday will help with retaining the information, and hopefully I will better succeed by doing that.…

Thus, time was required to come to terms with the situation. As time passed I realised the possible valid grounds for appealing the current grade. Upon convening with my course leader (Carol Williams) I was advised upon the degree to which I hold a valid cause for appeal and steps to take.…
