Way to contest grading not outlined in syllabus? Basically I calculated that I could skip an assignment and get, at the very worst, a B+ in a class, but realistically it would be an A-. So I skipped it to allocate time to studying for a much more difficult class, but then the professor emailed me that I will be failing the course because all assignments need to be turned in to pass. I looked through the syllabus and past syllabuses, and there's nothing in writing supporting what my professor said. One syllabus from another professor said it would significantly lower the final grade, but I was anticipating that, not failing. Is there any procedure to contesting this?
