[ 1 ] There must be a mistake somewhere. [ 2 ] I was not well at the time of the examination. [ 3 ] My mind always goes blank during an examination. [ 4 ] This mark ruined my prospect of getting a scholarship. [ 5 ] This is the only course in which I received a poor grade [ 6 ] This mark greived my mother (or Father) whose pride I am. [ 7 ] Conditions in the room were not conductive to concentration. [ 8 ] The examination was unfair and unfairly distributed over the subject [ 9 ] I have to work after school and nights; therefore I should be given a break. [ 10 ] I am married; therefore, I should be given a break. [ 11 ] I would have done much better if I had taken the examination give to one of the other sections. [ 12 ] Several people around me copied from my paper during the examination yet they received higher marks than I did. Surely this is not fair. [ 13 ] The reason I did not do better is because I am very honest. I do no wish to say anything against any other members of the class. [ 14 ] I know many of the class members who do not work as hard as I do an who got a better grade. I am recognized among my classmates as a good student - you just ask any one of them. [ 15 ] The question were ambiguous, and therefore, my answers should be graded according to the reasonable interpretations that I made of your questions. [ 16 ] Many of the questions could not be answered with straight facts; they were matters of opinion. I do not believe I should be penalize just because my opinions differ from those of the instructor. [ 17 ] I have studied this subject from the broad philosophical viewpoint and therefore, I was unable to answer your technical-based question [ 18 ] I am philosophically oriented to the realm of ideas; I respond to the sweep and scope of great intelects. My work is beyond the interest in petty details and parrot-like memorizing of those who are merely students [ 19 ] At the time of the exam I was suffering from a severe case of cognitive dissonance and was incapable of coping with the stress of the hour. [ 20 ] It is not a higher mark I seek; I care nothing about marks; I think marks are wicked and I disapprove of them. However, this pernicious system of which I am a victim requires marks for achieving success and therefore, I seek a higher mark. |
