SHIT SAMPLE 2

Donald,

As I mentioned to you, I would be more than happy to discuss all of
the issues you raise in person.  But, one point of clarification is
in order.  You mention that you "got in the high 80s or low 90s
percentage-wise for the first midterm."  Since I gave the graded
tests back, I do not have the numbers you refer to.  What I have is
the grade record that shows a "B"  (and not a "B-" as you suggest)
for the midterm grade.  It was this midterm grade of B that was used
to calculate your final grade for the course.

As I mentioned in class, students who received combined numbers in
the 80s received Bs.  Students who received combined numbers in the
90s received As.  If you in fact received "low 90s" in the combined
numbers on the midterm, then your midterm rightfully should have been
an A.  If that is the case, then I made an error of either addition
or transcription, which can be corrected.  This would in fact raise
your final course grade to a B.  I would need to see the original
copy of the midterm exam to verify this scenario.

Best,

RB
