Last week I emailed my calculus teacher, asking him how I did on the final. I suspected that I didn't do very well, as I left several questions--mostly the sequences and series questions--blank, and did others very poorly. So I was curious to know how well I could bullshit my way through the calculus final without having studied. My teacher sent me the following email:
You got 59% on the final which, according to my Excel spreadsheet, gives you 64.75% overall. The spreadsheet rounds this up to 65% (a C+). I was very pleased that your hard work paid off.
59%--not great, but it's a solid pass, especially as I pretty much stopped studying calculus for the last three or four weeks of the semester! And a C+ totally exceeded my expectations. The thing I learned from all of this is: not studying totally paid off.
