So all my marks are finally in, the worst I did was a C+ which isn't too bad, nothing news worthy there though. The only interesting thing revloves around my MBB mark (Molecular biologiy and Biochemistry) oringially it was marked as a C, a very low mark for what I thought I knew in the class so I went to look at my final exam to see where I went wrong. There were several people doing the same thing, most of which were fighting for small marks here and there. I had 103/200 whcih is about 50%, looking at the marks there were no places that I had lost large chunks of marks, so I looked at the front, added everything up and it totatled to 124/200.... 21 mark difference, I added it up several more times then showed the teacher. He agreed he screwed up (Or more spacificly his TA's screwed up) and agreed to change my mark. When it updated my mark went from a C to a B-, two letter grades because a TA couldn't take 30 seconds and double check their marking. It brought my GPA up from 2.60 to 2.86, a little bit of a jump. Moral of the story, if your mark seems low, go check, because you never know.
