bethlakshmiPerfectionistic little me...
My professor mailed me back with final grades - 44/50 on the final, total score thus is 91.8/100, which makes the course an A. I'll be getting the graded final back in the mail.
Now... I'm divided, my thoughts are:
- yay! It's totally over, final is graded, grades go in, Pennsic is even more worry-free!
- yay! An "A"!! damn straight it's an A - all but one homework was an A - if the final grade isn't, you have to go "what the heck?"
- ?huh? 44??? I really thought I did better than that. Yeah, I'm a perfectionist. Percentwise, a 44 is one point less than a straight up A (90/100 -> 45/50), but... well... I was acing most of these homeworks. What things did I mess up?
So, I know I should be happy - an A is an A is an A. And an A is great, an A that is the final grade going into the WPI system is even better. Obviously next week I won't give a crap (there will be something shiny catching my attention), the individual grades, heck, even the final course grades make little to no difference in my life - I'm not doing PhD work, I'm getting a Master's to have a spiffier resume. The GPA will be spiffy. No worries.
But, at the moment, I'm really curious to see what I screwed up, since it was my homework grades that raised my final.
