It's a finance class and it's the hardest class I've ever taken. I can still get an 'A' in there, but I have to get at least 79% of the remaining points available to do it. I've got a project still out that needs to be graded. I got a 'B' on each of the previous two in the semester. So if I follow form with that, I'll probably have to get at least a 75% on the final. I got a 74% on the mid-term.
I know this shouldn't bother me all that much, I'm going to pass the class with no problem. But I've got a 4.0 GPA and it's at stake here. I guess I've got a bit of a perfectionist streak in me as well.

(14,881 posts)Stupidest class I ever took. The so-called instructor was a disaster; literally half the class walked away by the end of the class. And she ended up fired and the Biology Dept coordinator (of a primarily allied med university) removed the requirement specifically due to the way she treated me
So instead of a 4.0, I had something like a 3.9 at the end. Still summa cum laude.
But I understand. It's tough to get so far with the 4.0 and have one single stupid class break that streak. Believe me...I fully understand that one!

It was an online class and there was just too much to it. Before I'd really get a handle on one set of complex topics, we'd move on to a new set that were even more difficult. There was enough material there for three classes. And 6 fucking hours for a timed final exam! I actually left a few blank toward the end for lack of time. You don't do that shit on campus.
