College Course Grades

[JasonBurrows]

I have just finished a Systems Support Level 2 course and I managed to get these grades on my units.

Spoiler: Large Picture

Nice job!

I'm coming in as a freshman next year, so I don't have any grades to share.

 

[JasonBurrows]

@ThePayne22 Thank you, I know that Distinctions are the highest grades for certain courses in the UK.

I live in America so I cannot interpret your grade results haha xD. The university I am attending this upcoming August as a Freshman uses the plus minus grading scale so basically only an A+ is considered a 4.0 and an A- is not... college is going to be difficult o.-...

What was the D+ in?

What was the D+ in?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Kidding. It's British Lit.

I love literature, but I pretty much resented this professor, and it started to reflect in my...turning in of things, participation, so on and so forth.

I'm a bad role model. Do not be me.

Are we talking 20th century British literature? Because if so that must've been a painful course to take.

I made an A on my term A class for summer term of English 1102, and I haven't finished my full term yet. In my Spring 2014 semester I got As in all my classes. So far a perfect 4.0! I hope I can keep it up.

Yessir.

I love old literature, okay. I read a lot of Goethe- and I'm convinced Percy Shelley and I have more than ten things in common. But the professor was not at all passionate about the subject matter and I wanted to die.

Also, congrats on the 4.0^

My point is not to make some sort of impassioned blanket statement about "old literature." What I'm getting at is that 20th Century British Lit. is a painful time to study in particular, with respect to how little literature (particularly fiction) of worth was actually produced within the country during that time period (discounting Woolf, Welsh, and Orwell as well because he's more of a politically-inclined essayist than anything else).

NGL, the class made me die inside.

If she'd focused more on the content of the writings, I wouldn't have wanted to bang my head on my desk. Instead, she was obsessed with the dates and the eras and just- identifying certain writers and not at all about what was going on at the time. Her grading scale was based on homework, and pff I had like 8 other things to do that struck me as more important than her busywork.

It was just bad. Lol.

I feel for you. Professors love giving ****ty busywork that's auxiliary to the actual writing itself.

Just remember that professors like that are universally disliked by talented academic types. And cross your fingers that you don't get stuck with her again.
