Do You Know What "Grade Grubbing Is?
I have to admit I didn't know until a few days ago.
I saw the term in a question posted online and though the question asked about "Grade Grubbing" it didn't give a definition of the term.
Personally I find that irritating, not defining a term when it may be unfamiliar to a reader.
What is "Grade Grubbing"?
The term "Grade Grubbing" describes the reaction of students to their teacher or college professor when a graded paper is returned to them. "Grade Grubbers" will try to appeal to the teacher for a higher grade, claiming the grade is undeserved, the grade will cause them to lose a scholarship or accuse the instructor of out and out bias.
Can "Grade Grubbing" Ever Work in Your Favor as a Student?
Well it depends, If an instructor has made a genuine mistake, say adding points up, then O.K. that is a mistake in the students favor.
But to press home an opinion of your own greatness well ...
