Can university teachers withhild grades?

I've given students an incomplete out of the kindness of my heart - they've made a genuine effort, but something has happened that has prevented them from completing an assignment, and my not having that assignment will make their grade lower. If they are otherwise doing strong work, and they talk to me about the situation, I'll give them extra time. I'm nice like that - if they're a hard worker, and they are honest. \n\nI've never "withheld" grades maliciously. Your situation seems a bit odd. It sounds like there was some sort of miscommunication.\n\nYour first step needs to be a private conversation with the professor. Very politely and with respect, ask her what happened - that you didn't understand the deadline, or the requirements, or whatever the case was. Then listen to what she has to say. If you still have a problem - if you believe the situation is unfair - then you can speak to your academic advisor and/or the department head and/or the dean, depending on who does this sort of thing at your school. \n\nGood luck!

No because instructors make courses harder at universities.

It's called tenure and teachers also have to go through a performance review by their supervisors, other teachers, and students.  It is still in effect to my knowledge, mostly at colleges and universities.

Depending on the University if they have a very sophisticated system.  If not then you can probably get away with it.  However they will evaluate your transcript of records if it can be credited to their own.  Off course, they will try to back track and look at your first grades.  Example, if you passed Subject 1, 2 and 3 but you only show Subject 2 and 3, they would wonder where did you take Subject 1?  If not you have to go back again and take these subjects from the very beginning.  Its a risk you have to take.

Such discipline records are not generally sent. If you need a school recommendation from a teacher, that could be diffficult...it you are a chronic problem. Grades are usually the only factor...and money of course.

As far as I understand professors may teach at colleges but not being taught at them. If they are taught then they are taught at some further education courses at some Universities.

Like the last person who answered, I work in higher ed as well...UC's...in admissions...and I can tell you this:  A "D" is not a passing grade.  You will never get credit for a class if you have a "D"...you may still be able to get in, but a "D" grade does not meet the "A-G Requirement."  Talk to your admissions counselor.

I'm pretty sure any school you transfer to is going to check your transcripts - and the grades - if you want any of those credits to transfer to the university, you have to have a certain grade in order to do so. So yes, they're going to check.

No, follow the requirements. Most Universities accept 3.0 but, attempt 3.7 at least to recieve a better chance.\nGet recommendations.

Yes, anyone who has finished an area of studies, is consdered a graduate. You do NOT have to have been in a university to graduate.

students criticising teachers will only work if the student has had a good enough teacher at some stage to teach them discrimination and tact and the ability to analyse in an unbiased way - something to consider for your presentation notes

for the most part they look at your final GPA and they also look at the types of classes you took whether or not they were challenging (AP, IB, Dual Enrollment) They do not have the time to look at every little grade you got in every class nor do they typically read teachers comments unless it is in a recommendation letter or applies to some kind of infraction. Good Luck

Depending on the course you want to read.  Most, if not all, courses require A-level grades.\n  That is unless you're incredibly clever in which case I'd talk to my teachers as they'd know how to go about it.

Without knowing what the grade given was based on it is difficult  to provide suggestions.  For all we know a "C" grade is what you earned.\n\nDid the teacher explain in advance on what the grading would be based?  If so, you can compare your work to that criteria and point out your opinion.

No, not unless the are excessive enough to be made note of on your academic record.  Truancy, or unexcused abscenses beyond the legal limit may be made reference to, but otherwise no just your high school transcript and GPA.  Also, depending on the college or university you apply to - they may ask for a letter of reccommendation from a teacher or guidance counselor.  If you have a poor repore with your teachers, couselors, or principals - their reccommendation may not capture your best qualities.  It may instead reflect what they see, rather than what they know of you.

I have been in the same boat as you...and now I am a teacher.  First you need to find out what criteria you need to meet in order to get a better grade.  Talk to the most evilist teacher alive, and let her know you want to get better grades.  Ask her if she has a rubric for grading her papers.  Perhaps you are not getting or studying the right information...such a waste to study something that really doesn't matter.  Good luck!

first off you will have a tough time teaching students by labeling them. treat them just like you would any other student. if you expect the worst out of people that is exactly what you will get. it'll be tough at first, but they will come to respect the fact that you push them to do their best and that you will not give up on them, or allow them to give up on themselves.
