<p>Art History 176…ended up with a B+ which i was very happy about considering i was striving to just get a B. </p>
<p>On my first test i got a c- 2nd test i got a C but what really help my grade were the two papers we had to do in which i ace both of them which brought my grade up to an 86. So going into a final i basically i had to get an A on the final to get a B+. Which i didnt think i would pull an A on the final but apparently i did since i ended up with a B+. i was so happy lol cause i hated that subject</p>
<p>Had two writing intensive finals right in a row. I hold a pen oddly so it’s rather painful to write for long periods of time (annd 4 hours straight qualifies)</p>
<p>I was right on the A-/B+ line before the final, probably could have gotten an A if I had done really well. But I couldn’t move my hand by the time I got to the second essay, bsed it, and thus… B+ :(</p>
<p>Went into a final with an A, but got a B on it and ended up with a B+ in the class. One hour and fifteen minutes ruined my winter break. I didn’t even think I did that poorly. Life sucks.</p>
<p>Earth Science: Habitable Planet
Skipped one lab to go to an on-site interview for a company. Didn’t make the lab up. If I had, I would have gotten an A. [sigh]</p>
<p>My story is, by far, the worst. I had never obtained a 4.0 GPA when this happened, but here it is:</p>
<p>I was taking 5 courses, and managed to make it to finals with 4 As and a B+. The B+ would soon easily turn into an A. However, I needed to sacrifice some of the time spent studying for one of the guaranteed “A” courses to make time for the “soon-to-be-A-course”.</p>
<p>End result: A, A, A, A, C+ (the course I sacrificed)</p>
<p>PSYCH 101: B-
Didn’t realize that the sample quiz he gave out was exactly like the exam he gave in class until after I bombed that first exam. Aced the second exam, and did so-so on the final. Not enough to bring me back up to an A though. Oh…and I didn’t do any of the extra credit…which would have gotten me up to at least a B.</p>
<p>Teacher was obsessed with something called the “behaviorist” approach, and when we had to write an essay I agreed with the “cognitive” approach rather than him, so he gave me a C on the exam! lol some professors…</p>
<p>My story is a little bittersweet. I’m happy because after my Multivariable calc final, I had a B, about .3% away from a B+. But then the professor decided that one of the questions on the final was very poorly worded, so he gave everyone credit for it, bumping my grade up to a B+. I was happy, but then i realized that, because the cutoffs for B/B+/A-/A were so close, that I would have ended up with an A had I answered one single more question right on any test all year. But I’m still happy with my B+, so it doesn’t bother me too much. That A would have been nice though ;)</p>
<p>Well, I was taking 20 units this semester and could have gotten a 4.0 but my English teacher was very anal and did not give me an A even though I had the highest grade in class. :(</p>
<p>Constitutional Law:
Expected it… I was hoping I could push it to an A- but oh well…</p>
<p>Ancient Egyptian Civ:
This one annoys me because it was a two-exam class with no feed back given on the midterm as to why a grade was given… Made any corrections to studying impossible so I ended up with the same grade on the final as I got on the midterm…</p>
<p>Difficult class at my school. People warned me about how difficult it would be. I was decent at math so I assumed it would be a class which required an above-average amount of work and shouldn’t be too bad. First midterm: A, so proud of myself. Second midterm: D, got caught up with other classes and got super cocky about my math skills…failed it pretty much. Crammed four days nonstop for the final and managed an A- on it (I think, at least) for a B in the class as a whole. x_x</p>
<p>****, I’d love to have had a B+ in one of my classes. I pulled the A- in my only borderline class. Should have had a B+ too, but the professor didn’t do +/-, so having my 88.whatever didn’t matter. I don’t mind it though, I wasn’t too far off from getting an A, and if I had put in more effort, I know I would have been ecstatic to get an A in the class instead of the A- I deserved.</p>
<p>Humanistic History of the Modern World (not actual name btw):</p>
<p>I got above a 90% on everything I know of except participation. I never saw my participation grade, but it couldn’t have been that bad seeing as I was one of the two people (out of 14) who consistently participated in section and the section leader seemed to like my comments more often than not. </p>
<p>Somehow I ended up with an 89.7 = B+ </p>
<p>The only explanation is that his sections were curved down. Well maybe his sections were just better than all the others.</p>
<p>Got a B+ in French. The teacher wasn’t the greatest. She was late to every single class AND she was 20 minutes late to our final. I basically taught myself French last semester.</p>
But I’m still happy with my B+, so it doesn’t bother me too much. That A would have been nice though ;)</p>
