An analysis of Face-Negotiation Theory in a classroom environment
Conflicts between cultures
I know you worked hard, but there's always room for improvement. Sometimes things don't go the way we want but we can always learn from it.
Professor, I just don't understand how it could be possible for me to have gotten such a low grade on this paper. I worked so hard.
I'm the professor, and I have given you the grade that I thought your paper deserved. It's not that you didn't try hard enough, your paper just didn't meet all the criteria.
Yeah but it wasn't like I just put the least amount of effort possible into this paper. I really tried! I just think I deserve a fair grade!
Think about how things would go if I simply graded everyone on their effort. Then someone could write about whatever they wanted and get an A. There must be some order to things.
Okay, I know you're upset. I want to help you. What if I let you resubmit your assignment using the notes I gave you on how to improve it? It just needs to be submitted to me by Wednesday.
But you don't understand! If I don't get a good grade in this class, then I won't be able to stay in the honors society and my GPA will be wrecked!
Okay, just remember that it isn't the quantity of sources you have, but the quality. You can do it. I know how smart and capable you are.
Yes PLEASE!! Thank you, that should be enough time to rewrite it.
