Dr. Hoffheimer, just the simple fact that you would allow me such great pleasures in proving to you that I should get the grade that i deserve, I will humor you. Like Most people I would say that I deserve and 'A', not just becuae of the fact that I showed up to class, allowed myself to enter into very enthusiatstic conversations, but also becuase of the wonderful and compelling classwork and papers that you have had me do. For both of my papers I believe that I got, an 'A' for both. One was rather high, whereas, the other one was rather low, but that class work, and I have completed on Moodle, and also the work that I have so graciously turned in, I have gotten with the 'A' range. So all in all, I would say that I deserve an 'A'. Also, I was here like everyday and stayed until you let us go. So all in all, I believe that an 'A' would be the cherry on top of such a wonderful academic 5 weeks.
I believe that I too deserve an "A." I in fact was not here every day but alaways stayed on the same timeline as everother student in this class. Even when I went through surgey and could not get out of bed for five days I still managed to keep up with classwork. I aslo feel like you have pushed me very hard just to think outside of the box and i feel like I came up with some compelling papers, and even almost fainted when reading one of them to the class...LOL. anyways I am quite sure you know exactly what grade i will be getting but I do hope that it is an "A."
I think i deserve a D I know i didnt try my hardest in this class. I was put back in the fire 6 months after i finished school. The school could have told me this a long time ago that plays a factor in how hard i tried but its all on myself.
From the beginning of English 210, I have sat in class, at times so exhausted I could collapse on the desk. I have yawned, most likely in your face, and for no reason other than utter sleep deprivation. This was rude of me, and if it’s any constellation, I’m sorry. Furthermore, I ran over by a few minutes on my cigarette breaks on a couple of instances, and crept in as if I had no idea. The truth is, I did know. I knew I didn’t have the time to use the ladies room and smoke, but I acted out of fear of a UTI. These facts, however, do not mean I should get anything less than an ‘A’ grade.
At times I may have been a total stinker, but I came to class as required, took excellent notes, and listened to your every utterance. I turned in all class work and home work on time and spent every weekend practicing my critical thinking skills. I also played well in groups, always offering objective points of view. If that’s not enough, I’m also in your political science class, which when combined with English 210, is no walk in the park, my friend. It is for these reasons I feel I should get an ‘A’. Thank you in advance.
My argument: I should receive a grade I fully deserve, which of course is an 'A' Meeting the requirements laid out by the syllabus and achieving a letter grade of 'A' on class assignments will unequivocally mean the end results will be an 'A'.
Opposition's argument: This may very well be true, but the author does not take into account that fully participating and sharing in class discussion has merit all its own. Let's not mention missing a blog or two. Does the author believe that slack in some areas merit an excellent grade while others came to class fully prepared.
Solution/Compromise
While the arguments may be compelling, the author will no doubt deserve the grade she deserves regardless of whether it is the highly coveted, non-GPA breaking 'A' or anything less. If protocols were followed, grades should not be an issue.
Even though I never dressed up for any of your classes, I believe I shall get an 'A.' I have met all the requirement for the class, such as blogs, papers, and classroom assignment. And all of them were on time. I shouldn't beg for a 'A' because I know an 'A' is what I will get.
as it stands at this time i feel deserve a A. i only state this after looking at the grades that have been achieved to this point on all of the assignment given.
Dr. H, I deserve a B for the class. I missed two days of class and one or two in class assignments. I did show a lot of enthusiasm on the class discussions and I tried my best on every other item that was required of me. I am not asking for an A, but just a simple little B.
Dr. H in my opinion my grade should be a low B. I have missed a few days of class and some blogs but i have completed my papers and have participated in all of the class activities that we have done while present. I have tried my best and worked hard from what i accomplished.
I'm not gonna sit here and beg for an A. I will let my class assignment grades and quizzes/papers determine my letter grade. I think as long as it's not under a B, I'll be fine. Even though I missed 2 days, I turned my assignments in on time and always did them to the best of my ability. I never thought that I could actually think as hard as I had to in this class. I also learned alot about the last paper that I did and the secret societies. I think that my honesty, attendance and assignments will determine what grade I get. I had a good time with you Dr. H!
Hmm, what grade do i deserve, well im not so concieted to believe that i am so proficent in critical thinking that i deserve an "A". However that does not mean I would wish for just any trifling grade. I my dear Teacher wish for a grade class of "B". Why, you ask, would I wish for something that is less that perfection? That is a very good question and as such deserves an answer. An "A" implies that you have completed all coursework and as such no longer require teaching in that particular subject, i know how well i learn, therefore i know that i still have something to learn, because i am not a master of the subject in question. That is why i deserve a "B"
You know as well as I do that I deserve an A+++++, however, i will settle for just an A...hands down. I have been here every day on time. I have not missed one day of class. I have turned in all work, blogs, papers, and I even came up with 3 Kickass icecream flavors. I add spice to the class making it fun for everyone and I even help break the ice allowing others to have a good time and epxress their real feelings, because I am not affraid to say whats on my mind. :) How could you not give the inventor of the Ice Cream Flavor 3some and A...?
I think that I deserve a B in this class. Outside of a tragedy that took place in my life I put as much time and effort into this class as I could. Knowing that the grade of "A" represents some level of excellence which I know I did not achieve I would have to say a grade of "B" is suffice.
Dr. Hofheimer, I believe that I deserve a "B" in this class because, I have been doing all my work for this class and I have been here for every class but, I am struggling on my last paper that is due Wednesday and don't know if I can get it done in time. I have done my best is this class.
I deserve whatever my class participation, my assisignment grades, and my non-procrastination can indulge me to recieve. I've been in class everyday except the first, for reason of death in the family, on time in spite of, and open to every new element of learning that came my way. In the process, learning critical thinking attributes.
Dr. Hofheimer This is an interesting topic for a blog. I don't understand why we are judged based on the amount of work completed. Is it quantity we are looking for or quality. Anyone can produce quality but who likes rework. I admit I had a little trouble this term than usual. I may have not finished all my assignments, but the assignments I have completed are of great quality. A great english scholar once told me that it takes tremendous motivation and a unique writing personality to impress even the witty and horrid of english teachers ( Mr. Faulkner).
I don't deserve an A only because I didn't truly apply myself in my works, but when I did do my assignments I tried my best. In my opinion, at most I deserve a C because only because I feel I've grabbed the concept of critical thinking. I'm able to listen and comment almost instinctively with a well-thought out reply. Plus, I've learned to be attentative when listening to others and pay closer attention to the senders actions and words until the sender is finished talking. I took good notes rather than trying to register a reply while I was listening to what you were saying. This works for me because it allows me to comment honestly and I can't forget what i was thinking or planning to say in advance. I've done my three big papers, I'm doing my blogs, and even though I may not have shared much of my thoughts with the class, I was present in every class but 1, and I participated in all of the group activities. Last but not least I'm an ambitious, young student and I'm really trying hard to make certain that my future is tolerant.
I think my work speaks for itself. Even though my views werent popular I believed I expressed them to the best of my abilities. I did have a bit of a hard time with this class but it had to more with my personal life than with the actual school work. Though I was challenged I am glad that I pushed on foward and completed the course. I think I deserve a nice fat B.
