Not even the briefest thought - hell, the reply is from a mobile cellphone. My bet is he didn't read more than the first paragraph, and the first sentence of the second paragraph.

Email just went off to the mathematics department through GMail, since the charming school's email system just went down.

Really, there's nothing the department will do for me either, the graded material is sure to be in the possession of my professor, not them.

That reply took 12 minutes, including the time used to get through the school's filters. Almost certainly he did not read it.

I don't expect the math department to answer tonight. I'll be lucky if they even answer before noon tomorrow. And even then, their answer will likely be some form of "we have no access to his graded material, he's away, your grade will stand."

On another tack, looking up the RIT Calculus C course description, although I imagine UML will say "no, these are more current, too bad".

For the calculus grade, I'm anywhere from 4.1 to 8 points too low.

I really don't have enough information for it.

My last refuge of hope is that he mistyped the first test grade as, say, an 11, instead of a 101.

Oh yes, and therein lies a major part of the reason I think I can handle the calculus. Because none of the graded material I have bears out the grade displayed at the end.

So, still using rather general calculations, I find that between my class average, which should, in theory, be governed solely by quizzes, and my third test, and my final exam, summed together for 52 to 58 percent overall. That is incredibly low, especially when considered that at the time of midterm grades, which I do not believe included, though I am not sure, the second exam, I had a B.

So at that point, I had some online homeworks, which were very poor. I had also had one exam, at 101, and then the class average. His formula used here is unknown. At that point, there had been six quizzes.

So motf what's the game plan?

I have an email in to the math department, as directed by the EE chair, in hopes that they can give me an idea of where my calculus professor has disappeared to, when he will return, and/or how my grade ended up being a D+.

The EE chair will have my entire schedule deleted as of tomorrow at noon. I put my odds at about 60% that the math department will have replied in some fashion by then, but I cannot speculate on the manner of their reply. Even if they give me a full breakdown of the grades, and it is an easy fix, i.e. he recorded a test I have wrong, I doubt it would get fixed by noon, and my schedule will be destroyed.
