What should I do if I get an answer wrong class?
Here are a few thoughts on how to approach incorrect answers in the classroom:
- Ask for an example. Invite the individual to give you an example of what she means by her answer.
- Help them save face.
- Be cautious of humor.
- Don’t beat around the bush.
- Express thanks for participation.
- Soften your correction.
How do I ask my teacher to grade my work?
Here’s my advice:
- Be strategic. Always be honest and fair when you approach teachers with questions and commentary about your grades.
- Go the extra mile. Let your teacher know that you’re serious about their class and its associated coursework.
- Ask for help.
- Be present.
- Play up your strengths.
How do you tell a teacher you lost a book?
Be sincere and honest, and explain that you feel bad about being irresponsible. You really want to do the assignment, and you regret the mistake you made. Ask for additional time, and tell your teacher you understand that there will probably be a penalty.
How do you tell your teacher you lost something?
- Just be honest and tell the teacher. The sooner the better, because you don’t want to fall behind in lessons.
- I like someone’s other suggestion to get a picture of the assignment from a friend, but your friend may not always get this to you when you need it. And, it puts a burden on your friend.
- Make your note brief.
Did your teacher Mark a wrong answer wrong on your test?
Has a teacher ever marked a correct answer wrong on a test of yours? It wasn’t a test, but oh, yes. Many moons ago when I was starting out as a math major, I had heard stories about one particular professor – let’s call him Dr. S. – who taught Abstract Algebra every semester.
Should you tell students who volunteer answers that they’re wrong?
There are those who believe you should never tell a student who volunteers an answer that they’re wrong. And I certainly understand why. It can be embarrassing for them. It can feel like a rejection.
What are some common mistakes students make in English class?
Usually, the mistakes are minor, such as forgotten punctuation, but sometimes there are more major mistakes. To give an example of the latter, I took an informal math class during the summer. The teacher, only a few years older than me, was working through a problem on the board, which we were expected to copy down as he wrote.
Why do professors like to point out errors?
In math classes I’ve taken in the past (at the college level) all of the professors I’ve had have been happy to have errors pointed out to them because it helps them do their job better. Not all professors/teachers will feel this way – and someone new to it like you had in this class may take it with less grace than a more experienced professor.
