re: Ever had the wrong grade put in by a professor?

I've made that mistake on a key before but would never lower someone's grade after the fact. My policy is to always err on the side of the student.

We make mistakes, just like y'all. It's especially tricky when you have 150 students in a class and 8 of them are Smiths with the trendy first names de jure and you're trying to enter grades on a long computer screen full of drop downs.

Watch your grades all semester, not just at the end. Also, say something about final grades before the grade entry window closes. After that time we have to get the dean's office to sign off on a grade change, which complicates things. Before then, though, it's a simple flick of the mouse.
