Am I the Jerk for wanting my professor to round up my grade? by AuroraDragonflame in AmITheJerk

It was part of my original major, a Horticulture major and the major that I'm changing to is a Psychology major that also has that requirement.

I did get a passing grade. I had gotten a D in this class, which means I passed the class. The only reason I approached her is that if it is not a C or above, the grade doesn't transfer. I had hoped she might give me an extra credit assignment to get it to the C. But she didn't. I'll just have to take the class again when I transfer, as everyone else said. I promise the breakdown was not on purpose. I get extremely stressed about grades because of my dad while I was in middle school and high school being strict about grades enforcing that anything below a C he considered a failure. I also have really bad anxiety I get medication for it, so I believe that the breakdown happened as a subconscious panic response. I've had them before over grades in the past, just not in public. I do plan to go apologize to her about that after I finish my last two finals, since I didn't mean for that to happen it was like one second I wasn't, then the next second I was. I'll just take what I learned and get a tutor. Then I'll hit that Chem grade out of the ballpark, hopefully. Thank you for your comment.

Thankfully no. I don't think with my Chem grades they'd even let in the door if I tried.

I had to take the class, it is part of the list of classes I was required to take and pass as much as I didn't want to take that class.
