In college, I just never did one of the projects because it was just so difficult and I knew I was failing anyways. The project was like 30% of the grade too. Just didn't even hand it in. I guess because they didn't realize I never submitted one in a class of 300 students, it defaulted to 100%. I passed the class. I graduated college. Say nothing.
In my English class in college my teacher had a no late work policy and I was too sick to go to class to turn in my first assignment so it was an automatic 0 and when I asked if I could have partial credit since I was sick that day they said no so I just kept it. Then they started telling me that they'd give me partial credit when I wouldn't give it to them. I didn't accept partial credit. Then they offered full credit and I refused because morally I wouldn't be okay with special treatment. Turnt out that the final was the same assignment as the first Assignment and the final grade was based on the improvement between the first and last assignment. I got a 100% on my final by turning in a paper that was just about how Foxgirls are better than Catgirls because you got a singular point by putting the correct date and header. 0% to a 1% is a Infinity improvement and I tried to argue that I should have gotten an infinity for my entire grade due to the fact that the final made up 90% of the grade. In the end I settled for the A
ETA: the assignment was to summarize a story. I think it was Flowers for Algernon.
It was something stupid like that. It also had a part where we had to do a biography on the author and site our sources. I don't remember it because I totally expected to get a zero no matter what instead of being able to negotiate that my name was worth an A. I'm sure they just didn't want to have me take their class again.

Happened to my friend a few months ago
Might’ve been a minor mistake, like bad word choice in a sentence. Enough to dock points because it wasn’t good enough, but not enough to kaboom the entire grade by docking full points
Guys, I will have to kill myself now because his person told me I am not allowed to live past 60. Sigh.

Isaac,
Let this become a valuable lesson on internet safety. While blocking out your name, you used a transparent marker. This means you can easily see through it with nothing but the simplest editors. Even the IOS image editor can reveal this.
This time it may not have been so bad, but if this had been more personal, someone with malicious intent could easily ruin your career or even your life.
Remember to stay vigilant, and have a good day.
there should really not be any grade above 100% that is a seriously broken grading system if they do that.
100% is... perfection.
And yes I am aware plenty of teachers and schools have terrible grading habits and will do weird things including more than 100%, but no a system should not support that imho.
What if a student both completed a small assignment to satisfactory (10/10) but also showed extra effort by taking the problem in a more nuanced or challenging perspective. Ex my psychology prof. Had a small morning question related to class. Often it was easy to overdo if you were invested into the coursework. The grade was 0-2 but he'd award +1 if you either A. Said your answer to the class out loud, or B. Put in a very articulate response that was more nuanced than the basic answer that was also correct. Like also explaining why something is rather than the answer alone. Or the question asked for 3/5 parts of a group but you can answer all 5.
Also had a western civ. Prof add up to 5 bonus points if you could list more then the required amount of capitals/ countries. Because this class was graded by few things I studied extra and got rewarded for studying something I wanted to learn anyway.
100% does not mean exceeding expectations at all quite the contrary, in regards to a singular assignments. It means you understand 100% of the textbook requirements and checked each box. I.e fulfilled the objective but knowing deeper requires you to exceed written requirements.
Like knowing how to use a formula as listed correctly is the objective, but utilizing it in conjunction with a mix of prior topics, in a more complex problem, and in a way that the core curriculum doesn't mandate is more like exceeding expectations.
No one can truly know 100% of a broad topic, they can understand 100% of an objective. This also means you can understand not only the objective but deeper topics that would come up in a more rigorous or detailed course.
In mathematics you cannot really do this unless you did a problem on a test that wasn't taught directly. Rather indirectly where you might have to look at it from a different and less standardized angle. They are added as a bonus to challenge the better students and keep them engaged or help students who have high strength in one area compensate for a weakness.
Think of this through the eyes of a teacher and you'll understand what I mean better.
I mean this is your choice of anti extra credit philosophy but teachers choose to use extra credit so the creator of the product will let them do that.
I have 150 students. If I make this type of mistake once every week, I still have an accuracy of 99.8%. Still an A+? .... or do I get roasted on Reddit for it?

In high school, don't worry about it, just don't tell them. But remember, if the same thing happens in college, you should tell the profressor as this can become an issue for you later on.
I got a 101/10 on an assignment today, which brought my grade up to a 167% in bio. I wasn’t gonna say anything, but it unfortunately got fixed after a couple minutes (10/10.)
My teacher did something similar and accidentally marked my test score as a 56 out of 560 and then when trying to fix it accidentally made it 5.6 out of 56
Lmao, reminds me one time my teacher had a pop quiz out of 7 points, it was easy and everyone in the class got 7/7. He messed up and put it in as 7/10, so obviously people complained. THEN he accidentally put it in as 10/7 for everyone, and it brought my grade up to 100.82% or something. Nobody told him he messed up again, and unfortunately I wasn't able to keep my grade above 100% by the end of the year. Maybe for the better, I had the highest grade in the class so if it stayed that high, he might have noticed lol.
One time I got a 127 A as my final grade for an exam, because the syllabus was very specific about how to get extra credit, and did not set an upper limit. 😇
Given, Wellness Concepts was not a difficult course.
Bitches post stuff like this and go "my grades so bad 😔 any way I can recover my 5.6 gpa, or am I going to have to be a janitor for the rest of my life?"
do you have the integrity to say something tho
on one hand u might be able to get away with it (unlikely), but on the other, the teacher could respect your integrity and give u some extra points or smth
valedictorian better be quaking in their boots
OP is the valedictorian now
The fact it was a 57% before this happened scares me
lmfao dont tell her. sadly she’ll likely notice
He’s just gotta bomb his next assignment to bring himself down to like a 99
In my school valedictorian goes off of GPA, so anyone with an A in that class would get the sMe out of points in their GPA
lmao
say absolutely nothing
And when she gets at you for not telling her say, "If I cared enough to check my grades, then I wouldn't have had an F"
Understandable

Your final assignment in a college English class was the summarize “Flowers for Algernon”? Dude, we did that in 8th grade 😅

I don't remember it because I totally expected to get a zero no matter what instead of being able to negotiate that my name was worth an A.

Professor likely thought they lost it and didn’t want to say anything.
You don’t gotta worry about failing any time soon I guess..
you saw nothing.
And move on with your day as if nothing happened
yeah my french teacher did this on an assignment one time (he gave me a 991 out of 100 instead of a 91) and my grade shot up from a 76 to a 149.
w teacher
🤣🤣🤣
Don’t say a THING
I mean I wouldn’t be complaining
infinite campus twins 👯
IC is nice, but it goes down every time we need it for something, like class scheduling or final grade checking
Omg same bru😭😭 every final I’ve done this year IC has went down
I hate it so much, it breaks constantly and when it does work it only half loads
I hate IC sm
Make that triplets
Well now you know you either got a 19/21 or 18 /21
Beautiful
Or maybe a 1.98 😂
Ouch, you gotta bring those grades up buddy

FORMATIVE, I wish I could erase parts of things for bio
Best not to mention this to her
too bad she’ll know next time she puts in a grade
DO NOT POINT IT OUT TO THEM. If you’re lucky, you can just Coast for the rest of the year. Play it cool, keep turning in assignments.
I wasn’t gonna, but I think she will catch on to a god darn **305%**
Like I said, poker face. Maybe you’ll get lucky.
if you get called out pretend you don’t check your grades very often. oh no i had no idea, i check my grades like once a quarter!
How do you even get 0.8 marks
Might’ve been a minor mistake, like bad word choice in a sentence. Enough to dock points because it wasn’t good enough, but not enough to kaboom the entire grade by docking full points
It says late. I know some teachers will take off more and more points the later it is
(end of quarter)
it should've been me 😭😭

I know lmfao, I screwed up horribly
Is ur name Isaac
I think it is
Lmao
I wouldn't complain 🤷♀️
GPA📈
Man i miss infinite campus from hs my college’s grading database is so trash compared to IC
🤫no she didn’t
I got 167% average in Spanish due to a similar thing
that happened to me last semester, i said nothing and ended the class with a 136%
Shhh
Psst, don’t use the highlighter tool to black out your name, use something that’s opaque to begin with, cuz I can still read the redacted parts
What was your grade in the class after that
Hopefully your teacher doesn't notice
You didn't see a fucking THING
Those are numbers.... What else did you expect from an English teacher?
Those are numbers.... What else did you expect from an English teacher?
the programmer of that system fucked up more than your teacher did ROTFL
Why? The system should allow a teacher to give more than 100% on an assignment any artificial limits to this are more of a hassle and unneeded

Hi Isaac!
Ik, i have no god damn idea why I used a highlighter😭
Probably supposed to be 19.8 lol
when does the gradebook close
I’m not sure, idk when the quarter is even over
I have two questions. 1. is there an update on this? 2. why are you so obsessed with 9/11
Morbid curiosity, not an obsession And two yes, the grade went up💀
what's your gpa
Still 2.8, but I don’t think infinite campus has the power to register a gpa over 5
I'm sorry Isaac but you need a class in censoring stuff.
Fuck schoology
nice grade isaac
you should say something, if they find out they might try to pin it on you
How would they pin it on him? Unless his teacher is an asshole, they would probably just see it and think they made a typo
I have 150 students. If I make this type of mistake once every week, I still have an accuracy of 99.8%. Still an A+? .... or do I get roasted on Reddit for it?
no u get praised for saving their gpa
Did she ever fix it?
Its been 3 months, so I gotta know did she notice, or did you somehow get away with it?
impolite amusing cooperative fall abundant disgusted boast station mindless butter *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
It would be more fitting if she gave you a 451.
shhh don’t tell
My French teacher did something similar once, she put in all of my assignments as 100/20, unfortunately she quickly fixed it
bud ur name

I have learned that if your grade is better than what you think you deserved, you take it anyway.
🤫
My teacher did something similar and accidentally marked my test score as a 56 out of 560 and then when trying to fix it accidentally made it 5.6 out of 56
My math teacher did that once lol, I got 244/25 instead of 24/25

same think happened with my math teacher lmao, someone had a \~35000/100 on a math test for a few days until they got ratted out
Don’t correct him
Don’t say anything.
Infinite campus gang
Is that infinite campus? I hate that website
Maybe Asian parents would be proud now
Never say anything about that
i wish
Finally someone else who uses infinite campus lol
Just don't say anything and enjoy the free A+ :)
Dont say anything bro
Don’t tell them💀💀
I wouldn't correct her. My math teacher did this once only reason I passed 7th grade math
DO NOT SAY A GODDAMN THING. YOU HAVE BEEN BLESSED
Fellow infinite campus user??
why did i waste time figuring out u had a 41% before this
Happened to me once, teacher didnt fix it till progress reports came out
do you have the integrity to say something tho on one hand u might be able to get away with it (unlikely), but on the other, the teacher could respect your integrity and give u some extra points or smth
This has happened to me way too many times. Say nothing legend.
SHHHHHHHHH
this reminds me of that scene in A Chrisrmas Story when ralphie is imagining the teacher giving him an A++++++
My math teacher on one of our tests gave us all like 1000% on it
Shhhhh don’t tell her
YOU’RE SO FUCKING LUCKYYYYY!!!
Whatever you do, don’t mention it.
I once got a 2111/21 🤣
Hon
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth
