The guy who asks his professor a short question after a lecture? That's probably half of the class.

You're at university, nobody cares if you ask dumb questions. Also, "how exactly are grades calculated in this course" is not a dumb question.

Wrong.

>"how exactly are grades calculated in this course" is not a dumb question.
Also wrong.

Time you spend worrying about your grade is time you should be spending studying. I have never seen an A student ask about anything grade-related.

Do you not have a course syllabus that outlines exactly how the course is graded?

>>11044538
Objectively wrong, a lot of A students are only A students because they game the grading system.

This. In my uni, if the professor doesn't explicitly state in writing how he's converting the point score to letter grading, you can just go to the academic council and ask for an A.
