I knew something was wrong, and I did tell him it would be late, he said it was ten points per day it was late up to two days- I knew in advance this would put me 1 point under the points required for an A, and I did ask ahead of time for an extra assigment and he said he would think about it and get back to me, but he didnt get back to me, just posted the grade.

As for the paper, when I realized it was the meds I stopped taking the med after the first day when I could not write, so it was turned in the next day- 20 point deduction. Because I had such a high A already, I would still have gotten an A if he had only deducted 19 points, or let me write something extra to get one more point- since it wasnt willful lateness on my part, it was something out of my control. But he refused.

But again, it stopped being about the grade when he said something was wrong with my paper and refused to explain what that was. All I wanted was an explanation, the grade at that point had already been submitted and posted so it wasnt about that.

I wanted to know why he felt the need to be lenient in grading my paper, like I should be grateful he didn't deduct more than 20 points.
