History Class
Okay, so I finished my paper on Tuesday and turned it in on Wednesday. I was really counting on 100% bc. I THOUGHT I did a fabulous job. But I got it back today, and wtf, a 92? So I'm feeling very humbled right now. At least it's an A. A-minus, actually, which is even worse, but still generally speaking a 4.0.
Blah.
And I checked my grades for the class so far on BlackBoard. He's got everything posted except for the final exam, which was today. I'm confident that I got at least a B+, if not an A- or an A. Because my essay was weaker than I'd have liked it to have been (it may be only 80 or so points out of 100 instead of NINETY or so points out of 100, more blah), I may not get a full 90-something on the exam.
I know that I made 100% (75 out of 75) on the multiple choice (or am at least pretty damn sure I did) and at least 72 out of 75 (96%) on the matching, which would give me 147 out of 150 (or 98%) on that portion of the exam. And I know that I have 685 out of 750 (91.3%) without the exam, and so that, with the exam being worth 250 points, I need to make at least 215 out of 250 (86%) to make a 90% (A-) in the class.
So, if I got 72/75, plus 75/75, plus 80/100, that gives me 227/250, or a 91 on the exam, which would also give me a 91.2 in the class (which is STILL a fucking A-minus).
Anyway. In any case. That's my rant about my grade for today. (Being humbled by a 92. BAH!)
