There's a midterm weighted a lot and I didn't do 100%. I'm still above 70% in total but that doesn't matter. Thank you for the reply, I will have better attitude talking with the professor. No complaining, no begging, just asking for extra credit? I'll still have to figure out something about the invisible line here.

Thank you so much for all the caveats. The professor did say that I can meet him and I'll make sure I state things positively. Is asking extra exam/project the only way to talk with the professor? It's a undergraduate class maybe he will have some understanding for graduate student? But if he's stubborn, is there just nothing I can do?

First-time low gpa will result in a warning and probation, and I'll also have to retake the class and postpone the graduation date. Not the end of the world, but bad enough.

I got a really bad grade due to a bad final and it's already on my transcript, although the professor agree to review the final, I don't see the possibility to get things better. The fact is that I spent extraordinary effort and got 100% on all projects, he's final weights 40% and that destroyed everything. Also, it's his first time teaching this class, using a very tough way (A computer science related class but all we do was to memorize every verbal concept.) I'm a graduate student and his grade ruined everything. I don't know if contacting school will help in this situation. That might make him unhappy but things probably won't get worse.. There could be some fact I haven't mention but is useful for helping me. You're welcome to ask. Please help.
