I hate to hear students saying "my score (89.05) is so close to an A- (90), is there any way to round up my grade?" And when I reply "no," they continue: "But I really worked hard." Okay, can you imagine that you're going to say the same thing to, for example, a math teacher? Should one be given an extra point simply because he spend tons of time for that course? How absurd, how ridiculous! But this is not the first time I received this sort of emails. Indeed, I don't remember whether there was a quarter when I didn't get any.
