Reference: grade grubbing Reference information: No es solo una actitud, sino un comportamiento concreto. Un "grade grubber" es un estudiante que tiene la costumbre de reclamar sin justificación y de manera importuna que se le aumente la nota: "Grade Grubbing (also called "grade begging" or "grade lawyering") is the act of a student going to a professor and asking for a grade to be raised for no legitimate reason. Often the student argues that they feel their work was "not graded fairly", or they made only a small mistake and should get more points, or they knew what they were doing even though they gave the wrong answer. Grade grubbing often involves asking for detailed justification of why certain points were taken off, questioning subjective aspects of grading (e.g., Why is this problem worth 5 points and this one worth 7 points?), and wearing down the professor by arguing, begging, and pleading until they finally relent and increase the student's grade." https://www.math.uh.edu/~tomforde/GradeGrubbing.html |
