What Grade I Deserve In The Course

After taking a self-reflection, I feel that I deserve an A- in the course. I have never turned in an assignment late, and I have only missed one class during the entire semester, which was due to an emergency. I gave myself an A- because I feel like I could participate more in the class, but I do ask questions when it is necessary, or when I need further clarification. The one time I failed to do this was during the cold weather assignment. I should have asked for more details, but instead I did my interpretation, which turned out to be incorrect. I would have redone the assignment, however, that is the one assignment that is impossible to do since it is based on the weather. I feel that I deserve this grade because I use your comments to make my writing stronger. I have revised all of the graded assignments that we have had returned to us thus far. I also feel that I deserve an A- because this is an introductory course, and the purpose of it is to assess our current writing skills and build upon them in order to make us better writers. Because of this, I think that we should be graded based on the effort put into each assignment, and how we are improving through the course of the semester.
