Now, my teacher gave me a project to do, limiting it to 2-3 minutes. Knowing that I would talk faster in my presentation, I practiced presenting my project so that it would be a little bit over 3 minutes. I did present, talked at a regular tone and speed, and expected a good grade(I spent a lot of time working on that project). However, when I recieved my grade, I got a 15/20(Project points are really heavy). 3 points were subtracted because my presentation was only "1 minute long." For all the times I had been practicing, none of my times were below the 2 minute level. Not even close to 1. And as I remembered, I did not speak to fast, and I do know that it's not humanly possible to talk 3 times as fast in one day. I first had my doubts, but I re-presented my project to myself, and I got the same normal time. I find it very wierd of her timing, and I want to explain how her grading was wrong, but I have a few roadblocks.
- What if she says, "Well, that's what I recorded in that presentation.." then what do I say back? (I only have an old practice manuscript, and I presented on Prezi. (Prezis don't have last edit dates)
- What if she says, "Sorry, but your grade is your final grade, and I don't believe I have made a mistake."
- She is also a partially unfair teacher, where a few months ago, when I was complaining about a test question because all the answers in the multiple choice were right based off the question, she basically replied, "This answer appears more in the textbook, so it's right" And, I couldn't say anything back.
-Only supporting evidence I have is:
-Friend that says he recorded the time and said the presentation was 2 minutes and 30 seconds long.
-An old typed up manuscript on word
-An prezi that I used to present
I really want to get my points that I rightly had back, as this has almost prevented me from getting an A for this class... Please help me, and I really appreciate any help!
