Hi Michael: When students come to me in similar situations I tell them we have more tests and that dwelling on the past will only interfere with their ability to move forward. I do go over their exam and we talk about some study habits, test taking strategies and test anxiety management procedures that might ensure better performance the next time.
But this early in the semester there should be more opportunities to bring up the grade and I would stick with whatever policy you have in place.
