Is it true that it's nearly impossible to get an A in WRIT140?

horrible class with a terrible grading policy. got a C in that class yet I graduated with a 3.6 overall. had an A- in Writing 340 as well.

Never want to take writing140 again and I pity the poor souls that have to go through it. Tips to anyone taking it - suck up to the teacher as much as you can. Also I can guarantee your first paper will be a poor grade - this is practically departmental policy with no regard to the quality of your writing.

The class is more about figuring out what your teacher wants and pandering to that as opposed to being a good writer. I’m still very bitter about it if you can’t tell.
