I am taking a statistics class. As I was looking at my grades so far this semester (the grades are posted online online in the Moodle for the course) I noticed that the Pre-Test grade was listed with a value beside it, and it appeared to count in the overall average. This didn't seem likely- the pretest was what we took before the course started, supposedly so the professor could see what we already knew about statistics. Silly me decided to ask the professor if the pretest was part of our average. Her answer: Yes.
So I made a 60% on the pretest, and am now spending the entire semester clawing my way up from an F. Not sure how this is fair. But I will wait until after final grades are posted to talk to the department chair about this. I don't want her being mad at me for questioning this to influence how she grades my stuff the rest of the semester.
