I have a professor who scored me an 81 on my first exam. I went into her office to ask her about what I thought were grading errors. She graded me an 87. She said she would change it.
We can access our grades online on Moodle. It read 81 after we met. Then a week after the same. We talked on her pejorative - didn't I give an 87? Yes. Then I will remember to fix it! A week after it was the same, so I talked to her in her office again - remember that 87? I forgot! Then she writes it down on a sticky note. A week after it read the same. We had a second exam and went on Fall break. It still reads 81.
It is frustrating -- I feel like she does not care about how my grade affects my relationship to her course. Less than the grade is the fact that she relates to me through this grade in this way. I haven't missed any classes nor assignments.
When I begin teaching, and while I am refereeing, I want to adopt the antithetical attitude: I care about my job, about your roll and mine, and I commit myself to passion, the right attitude, and most importantly to respecting my roll as your superior in this relationship, and my decision to not ever abuse that position.
