2006 Fall

Finals are over, free for Christmas break

Well, finals are over. I have the next few weeks off before the winter ‘07 semester begins. I survived the first semester, and actually managed to get pretty good grades.

In Strategies for Online Learning—which was, I think, the dumbest class I’ve ever taken—I received a 91.84%, a solid A minus, with 349 of a possible 380 points. I can’t remember dreading homework as much as in this class. I think I even enjoyed high school biology more (and I didn’t like high school biology at all).

I fared slightly better in History of Popular Culture, with a 94.27%—329 of 349 possible points. I think I should actually have 10 points more than that, and I am contesting my grade. The instructor graded the final assignments before the end of the 24-hour school day and before I turned my assignment in. She gave me a zero for the 10-point assignment. So, if I were given full credit for that assignment, my final grade in the class would be 97.13%, with 339 of 349 possible points.
