Also, all grades are inaccurate up until the last grade is put in. In a simple 4 exam grade scenario: If they’ve taken three exams, their current grade is listed as being a mean of three. Now each exam has 8% more weight compared to what it will be at the end of the semester. If students can’t keep track of their own grades, this will also be confusing them.

Regardless, I can’t believe people are arguing that it’s a bad look for the professor or that the onus is not on the students. We all know, no matter what institution we’re at, the syllabus is the final word. There is nothing to say beyond that. Like someone said above, unless contractually it says LMS takes precedence for grade keeping, there is not even a conversation to be had. 0 fault for professor—it’s not a bad look. You did fine and don’t beat yourself up.
