Problem: Article: This will depend on what your situation is. For example, if you did poorly on a single assignment, ask to redo it for partial credit. However, if you have a C- in the class and want to have it raised to an A- just by redoing a few assignments, your teacher will most likely say no; instead, offer to do a lot of extra credit to prove how motivated you are. It might not shoot your grade up to an A, but it'll certainly help. Instead of just doing your homework, highlight important parts and write neatly, and especially make sure that everything is legible and it doesn't look like it got mangled with by a prizefighter. This may add a few extra points, since many teachers count neatness as part of your homework grade. If you are turning in a report, it may be helpful to purchase a report cover to further demonstrate your care for your final product. Consider trying to mark someone's work whose handwriting is all but impossible to read. Think about how much extra time this must take. Sometimes opportunities for extra credit will not be so obvious, so it's important to be on the lookout and to be visibly keen. Teachers will be impressed by someone going the extra mile. Not only will you score extra credit marks, but you can make a lasting good impression on your teacher. If any of these things seem unlikely to work on your teacher, don't try them. It will be a disaster. Follow steps you're comfortable with and change/skip those you aren't. You know your teacher best, and, believe it or not, they know you too. Although extra credit can be extremely helpful, it's not meant to make up for your faults. Extra credit is designed to help bring students who have been trying in the past to further bring their grades up. It's unlikely that a teacher will assign enough extra credit to change an F to an A.
Summary: Think of a solution that seems reasonable. Maintain your high level. Be proactive and look for extra credit. Keep your expectations reasonable.

Problem: Article: If you are worried that you have an underlying disorder that causes you to bruise easily, talk to your doctor. They can run tests to see if there is any condition that may cause you to bruise due to slight bumps or very minor injuries. Let your doctor know of any other symptoms that you may be symptoms of larger disorders. Platelet disorders, such as those that underlie diseases like leukemia or AIDS, can cause increased bruising. If you have too few platelets, you may suffer from increased bleeding or dark red or purple bruises in addition to more frequent bruises. See your doctor if you are concerned about increased bruising. Blood thinners can cause increased bruising. If you are taking blood thinners, such as warfarin or heparin, ask your doctor to do a PT test to see if you can reduce the dose or eliminate taking blood thinners. If you cannot be taken off blood thinners, be more cautious in situations that may cause you to bruise - the medicine will make you more prone to bruising. If you have recently taken blood thinners but no longer are, you may still be at risk of increased bruising. The effects will wear off after a short time. Blood clotting disorders, such as vitamin K deficiency or hemophilia, can cause an increased rate of bruising when the blood takes longer to clot under your skin. You may have a clotting disorder if minor injuries cause large, deep bruises. You will also have other symptoms, such as nosebleeds, painful or tight joints, blood in your urine or feces, or excessive bleeding.  Hemophilia is an inherited disorder, so have yourself checked if anyone in your family has it. See your doctor if you think you may have a clotting disorder. You may be able to rectify the disorder through diet changes, exercise, and prescription blood thinners.
Summary: Talk to your doctor. Ask your doctor if you have a platelet disorder. Stop taking blood thinners if possible. Check for signs of a blood clotting disorder.

Problem: Article: Now that you have a good idea of the sound your completed song will have, arrange your rhyme into verses (16 bars apiece). You can start each verse with nearly any rhyme, but it's a good practice to end with a rhyme that makes a point. This way your verse doesn't seem to be left hanging. A popular song structure would be:  Intro Verse Chorus Verse Chorus Verse Middle 8 (a.k.a. breakdown) Chorus Outro Practice rapping your song on your chosen beat to work out the bugs and optimize your written verses. Cut out as many words as possible and then cut out some more. Remember, a rap song is not an English paper; only use the words that are needed to make your point, nothing more. Don't be afraid to add a pause or two, which can help to enhance a certain point in the song. Rap your lyrics over your beat until you have memorized every breath and you are sick of hearing them. Only then will you be ready to produce your song. Either hook up with a producer to get the recordings and mastering completed or self-produce the song. Put it on SoundCloud. Create a SoundCloud account. Edit your profile, then upload your track. Remember to use hash tags. Be online every day to get people's attention and reply to every question you get from anyone.
Summary: Structure the song. Rap and refine. Memorize your song. Produce the song.

Problem: Article: The more you know about the specific make and model of boat that you’re planning to buy, the better you’ll be able to haggle over the price. In fact, you may find that the seller has over-priced the boat, in which case you can certainly talk them down.  Before you meet the seller, find out the selling price of used boats like the one you plan to buy. You can find the value of any boat model through the NADA Boat guide. Check the guide online at: http://www.nadaguides.com/Boats. Since you’re purchasing a used item, the price will be somewhat flexible. Try to talk the owner down from the listed price. If the seller refuses to lower their price, you can explain that you believe the boat is overpriced and that you can find a better deal somewhere else. This will often prompt the seller to lower the price.  For example, if the boat is listed as selling for $25,000, ask if the owner will take $20,000. They’ll likely decline, but may revise their offer to a more reasonable $22,500.  Be aware that boat owners may accept your lower rate for the boat itself, but then over-charge you for ancillary items like radios, safety items, or an engine. If you have the time and patience, negotiate over each individual item you’re buying. Once you’ve agreed on the purchase price, ask the boat’s current owner to give you the boat’s title and other legal documents. Just like when buying a car, this will conclude the purchasing process. Making sure that the current boat owner transfers all ownership papers to you will also confirm that the boat was not stolen.  Although laws vary by state, boats over 12 feet (3.7 m) typically have titles, while smaller boats do not. If you live in the U.S., you will also need to register your boat with your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles or Department of Natural Resources. Even if the previous owner registered the boat, you will need to re-register the boat with yourself as the given owner. For your state’s guidelines, look online at: https://www.dmv.org/boat-registration.php.
Summary:
Research the boat you’re buying and competitive models. Negotiate the price with the boat owner. Transfer the legal ownership of the boat.
