I totally whiffed, I missed one of tests and instead of having a B I have a C. I could have made 1/100 and got a B...

So that's a difference between a B & C right? Have you tried to talk to the instructor? IMO its a dick move not rounding that up.

If you flat out didn't show up for a test, I'm happy you got your C. Inexcusable

Yes, but my prof curved up for student who tried (I.e. Never missed class, never missed homework, attended office hours, etc)

I emailed her and she sent out a general email to everyone saying don't ask to be bumped up. Livid

In this case, I would not be so willing to curve. You are lucky you got that.

I had to bring my dog to the LSU Veterinary Hospital, I had his discharge papers and everything for her. She basically told me to go stick that up my arse

Happened to me in my Into to Econ class during summer school.

Teacher would not round grades up. He always told us that if you are an inch from a touchdown it's not a touchdown.

Sounds like you took the count professor. Next time you schedule classes do a little research on the professors. ratemyprofessor saved me a lot of headache several times in college.

It's a dick move missing a test so it goes both ways in this case

Yes if you straight up missed a test you deserve a C.

I had this experience so did friends of mine, but it seemed like everyone who taught the first two econ classes were complete assholes.

Last time I checked, it's an 80 for a B.
Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Or be a girl, and give your professor some "persuasion".

How is the professor a dickhead? OP literally missed an entire test. He's lucky to get a C. I wouldn't round someone's grade .0000000001 if they just didn't come to a teat

Take this as a life lesson. You ask for favors in person, not over the phone, and certainly not via email.

Only F I had was a class I didn't need. Had never dropped a class and I had some extras I ended up not needing to graduate so I was just going to drop them. Once I figured I didn't need it I stopped going and didn't do some of the work.

Went to drop the 2 classes I didn't need and was informed of a new policy that didn't let you drop more than a certain number per semester.

Went back to the class I had neglected (since I didn't need it) and the professor informed me that she didn't allow makeups. That F brought my whole GPA down. It was bullshite.
