re: Appealing grade in English at LSU

Mikee will get this point:

It’s like getting fired from your IT job for not showing up to the office even though you can get your work done from home. But the boss wants you there at least 3 days a week.

Yes, the work is done but part of the job is being at a certain place at a certain time. And you knew that.

And now it’s the teachers fault?

FFS.

Hey, long story shot, I'm sure I am not the only one this has happened to, but I failed my english based purely on attendance.

The average of my papers was a 90, and I had an A in the class until participation was factored in which then brought my grade down to C+. I now have an F on my transcript because of this attendance policy.

I'm almost positive appealing the grade would be pointless and they wouldn't change it, but it's at least worth a shot. Just curious to see if anyone has had success with this in the past.

You are a worthless human.

Congrats on graduating in the summer and not the spring with your friends.

Well you're fricked. You read that, acknowledged, and ignored it. Now suffer the consequences like and adult and quit crying like a bitch.

Here's a protip for your life: no one gives a frick about your college transcripts.

LSU gives students an opportunity to "Repeat and Delete" bad grades. You simply take the course again and replace the F with the newly earned grade. LSU only allows this to be done a couple time though so you may want to consult your advisor.

It's not special treatment. I don't disagree with the policy because it applies to me, I disagree with the policy because it's ridiculous.

You've established that you're a dumbass.
Yet you got high marks on all assignments.
So now we establish this class was a gift-wrapped A.
And you managed to frick that into an F because you disagree with a policy whose only requirement was that you walk in the door.

Congrats you're a double dumbass. Seriously. You don't belong in college. I'm not sure you even belong working at McDonald's. You probably need to be in prison. Clearly life has been too easy for you thus far.

I call bullshite

I do think the mandatory class policy that a lot of the English classes at LSU have is ridiculous. However, it's still dumb as frick of you to not just show up for 50 min/80 min (depending on MWF or TTH) just to get an easy A. You're not really in any position to appeal your grade at this point.

I couldn't even get a final grade changed because of legitimate reasons like having a lab partner staying back and repeating the experiment after we had already finished (attendance was part of the grade) or the professor giving 0 credit where credit was due according to the assignment.

Unless you can get the professor to change it, appeals are slim to no chance.

5 pages and still no explanation how the C+ became an F on the transcript.

Oh yeah....i agree with everyone else - this is on you.

Seems like you need to take a reading comprehension class
