Bad Mark in School

I'm really, REALLY annoyed. I got a mark back today (I'm in university so I'm already done) and I got a B in a class and I don't understand why. I had a B+ at midterm time and my professor TOLD me that it would go up.

So I was expecting at LEAST a B+ if not an A-.

And then I got a B.

Fuck.

No, I know. But I've managed to pull up my GPA to a 3.7 (YAHOO! in my department, that's pretty much friggin' impossible) and having a B will make it drop, meaning that the scholarships that I'm in the running for I will have a harder time getting.

Oh man, I love that website. Seriously. I love giving profs their just desserts.

I mean, it probably doesn't do anything, but it just feels good.

I know I should be happy with a B because I know it isn't really bad, but I'm just disappointed. Everything else is B+ or higher, generally. I just don't know what happened.

Could you go talk to your professor about your grade? If you call them on it, I bet they'll fix whatever mistake they made...

Probably, but I have a feeling that it won't change.

It's an acting class you see and since the Fine Arts department at my school is so fucking subjective, it's hard to argue marks. I mean, you can't say "I got this right, but you marked it wrong." It's pretty much how much effort they think you put into it and how much they liked it. Which sucks.

I mean, art is subjective. How the hell then, can they justify giving me a mark?

Well just do the best you can and if you have something to bring to the profs attention then do it.

I don't think a B is amazingly good. I worked my ass off and I wanted an A.

But apparently, my entire class all went down a grade so clearly, our final projects must have sucked or something.

B isn't an amazingly good grade. I'm in university (science department) so I know it can be harder than highschool. You can try to argue the grade but since it is subjective as opposed to objective, I'm not sure how far you'll get.
