If he leaves it as it is, you will get B+.

If you ask real nicely, he might bump it up to A-, some profs do that.

A B+ covers grades from 77-79.9, and so your grade clearly falls within this range, even when appropriately rounded to one decimal place.

Some profs will bump your grade up automatically, some will do it if you ask and some won't do it at all.

I got 79.45 in a course last term. I emailed the prof requesting if they would bump it up to 80 and they agreed. But this change still hasn't showed up on Mosaic. The first time I followed up with them, they said they didn't know how to use Mosaic and find out within the week. I tried following up with them and received no response... does anyone know what I can do in this situation? I'm graduating at the end of this term so I'm not sure how much of a window I have for them to go in and change it
