TO THE EDITOR:
I agree no student should be pleading a rounding case. However, my son graduated in 2014, and in his last semester he earned a 4.0. When he got his grades he had a B and an A-. In the case of the B, his name was interchanged with the student below him on the alphabet chart. The A- was a miscalculation by a professor of a 96% class average. Both earned grades were changed. This was in the Honors Program and could have had implications to graduate school. Every student is not only in charge of doing their work but holding the professor accountable for mistakes. We’re all busy and things happen in the effort to produce final results in a timely fashion. “Sometimes you don’t get want you want, but you need.”
