Making the Grade

After reading this artice, I was kind of split in half with my thoughts towards it. I don't think it's right for a student to go to the professor last minute and ask for a grade change. I do however think it is okay if a student has tried their hardest and had a tutor, attended all of the classes, and went to visit during some of the professors office hours. I am speaking from experience because I had a class once where I was not stong in that particular subject at all, but did all of the above that I mentioned. My overall grade based on my exams and quizzes were not up to par, but I felt that my effort to do well in the class needed to be acknowledged. So, I talked to the professor and they agreed, and my grade was then a little higher than what it was originally going to be. In these types of situations, I don't think there is a problem going to the professor and speaking about a possible grade change. On the other hand, if it's obvious a student didn't put much effort into the class and the classwork, then I don't think it's right.

History "Resist Hitler and Survive"

In response to “Resist Hitler and Survive” by Susan Neiman, I feel that it is time to teach and educate our future generations of the past. This is very important because the Holocaust was a very important part of our history, and we must educate everyone on what happened so it doesn’t happen again. Hitler portrayed himself as God, and did many negative acts. The Christians helped the Jews fight that battle because they felt that was the right thing to do; love others as you love yourself. Hitler failed and his plan was defeated. History is very important. If we didn’t get educated on what happened in the past, we would still be in some really bad situations and would be repeating many things that could have been avoided.
