Course Grades - Saturday, December 25, 2004
I was ranked 8th from the bottom in my Electrical Engineering class. I failed both quizzes and got a bit below the mean on the midterm. And on the final.... I didn't know how to do a SINGLE problem so I bs'd all of them. Somehow they fell for it and gave me 20 points total out of 70, which was way below the mean but 20 more points than I had expected. But I expected to get an F in that class, and I should have. But I checked my grade today, and somehow I ended up with a C!!! Either everybody did bad, or the teacher felt sorry for me (implausible). What a Christmas present! Thank you God!!
I did much worse than I expected in Math and Physics Lab: both C's (the curve was harse). In Computer Science I failed the final even worse than I failed the second midterm, but my perfect project scores and extra credit (and possibly sympathy for me being the only sophomore in the class) boosted me to a B-.
In summary, three C's and a B-. Not what I had hoped for at the start of the quarter, but probably better than I deserved. I always get fired up before school starts, and then lose that fire as the quarter progresses. Somehow I need to find a way to keep myself motivated and on track. In other words, I need to blow up my computer. =(
