I assume after reading your letter below that you are arguing that your gr
ade should be better than average for your classwork and performance. That is a good judgment based on your statement. You did show significant improvement. However, your Final Exam raw score of 11, the B grades on previous speeches, etc. average out to a B. I am glad that I was able to help provide an environment where you could improve your self-confidence.
As you improve your spoken English, you will gain even more self-confidence. Glad I was able to help!
