I am writing an email to my professor as a reminder to update my grade on a particular assignment. I had an assignment that is graded based on a written essay and a presentation. I submitted the written part on time, but I delivered the presentation about a week late. I received a partial grade for the written part, but my professor has yet to update the grade to reflect my presentation.

The email doesn't have to be extremely formal, but I do want to remain very polite. The message is really a reminder, but I thought it would be more polite if I framed it as a question. So far I have:

Hello,

This is XXXX from your XXXX class on Tue/Thu mornings. I received a grade in for the written part of the XXXX assignment only, as I just completed the in-class presentation last Thursday. Could you please let me know when I should be expecting an updated grade reflecting my presentation as well?

* * *

Can you guys tell me if I am sounding rude or if there is a better way to phrase this?
