I will not pass Geology UPDATE: I passed -- I got a "C!"

[Bo Hart]

Another question--can't you take an online course over Christmas from an accredited extension dept (I know BYU has one) and get your C and get into Geo 102?

I am just angry that I threw gimmie points away. My test scores were like 86, 59 and 84. The 76% average puts me right around the class average.

Also, I have no idea how I did on this test. I did really well on the cumulative parts of it, but this most recent material killed me. I think there's a chance I might pass (and by that I mean, get a C), but I'm not holding my breath.

I always went to class - I'd often fall asleep (once I nodded off in a class that only had 5 students), but I'd always go to class. The only reason I passed Chinese 2 (don't ask) is because the professor was a nice old man who recognized that I was always in class, even if I didn't do well on the tests.

My friends knew I'd go to class even if I was tired & would beg me to sit in back so they wouldn't crack up laughing at me attempting to keep my head up. At the same time, I had the uncanny ability to answer a question from the professor in the middle of one of my stuggles to stay awake, then immediately fall back asleep.

About costs - apparently the school I went to is now the most expensive 4-year in the nation. It wasn't quite that bad while I was attending. Thanks mom & dad (& student loans & scholarships).

And contract archaeology.

I failed Geology 101...it may have been because I never went and missed two tests. I also failed Art Appreciation 101 for the same reason.

I have gone on to get my MBA and JD, so an F or two won't kill you in the long run as long as you start taking those classes seriously.

I lucked out, I suppose. I had a Biology 102 class that I'd skipped for weeks and visited on a whim--only to discover a test in progress. I worked my behind off after that, only to learn after the final that I could drop my lowest grade.

I don't do unannounced quizzes--I quiz regularly, so my expectations for my classes should be pretty clear.

Well, it was a less-than-heroic effort on the final -- I got a "D." A 62%, in fact.

Somehow, someway, I finished with a 69% for the class, and he rounded it up to a "C." My calculations must have been off.

This is awesome!

You know, the more I think about it, this is probably why I'm such a crappy student. It seems I always end up squeaking by in the end. Instead of learning my lesson, I just naively accept the assumption that things will work out in my favor in the end.

Unlike you, I attended my Geology 101 class the day after an exam...that's when I gave up.

Well, that's just great, Kyle. Here I am, ripping my kishkas out over this, and you passed!
