I got a B :(

[Dumac]

I'm sad...

I got a B (my lowest grade so far) in what must be the easiest class I've taken in college. Even easier than general education courses.....

I know its my fault for not being engaged or caring about the subject matter, but I couldn't get over at just how trivial it was.

The funny thing is, the professor thinks the material is hot shit that is so deep and complex, but it is such simple stuff that I think kids in junior high could do it.

P.S. Yes, I know, grades don't matter blah blah

Still sucks.

C's get degrees

I always got my worst grades in the easiest classes. It was so easy to blow them off and then come in just under par.

I know it stings, but don't break out in hives just because you're now a 'B' keeper.

Yet you only got a B in the course...you big dummy.

Heh I pulled that before. I was owning my intro programming course. And I rolled into the final and... I don't even know what happened. I thought it went ok to be honest. They gave me a box of chocolates for winning a contest (earlier project); I answered questions & munched godivas, it was glorious. Or so I thought.

I got a B in the class, and I was like wtf?? That can't be, this was so easy! So I emailed the TA and to see what happened and he replied w/my score on the final.

Try not just picking the easiest professors on campus.
There's some here that will give students at best a C no matter what.
One of my classes this semester the professor already admitted no one is even going to get an A, and that was in an easy class.

So what is your major?

 

[Printer Bandit]

What is the class? What is your major?

That statement only applied to grad school. Of course with grades like that, you won't have to worry. :hmm:

 

[Possessed Freak]

Meh, I got numerous F's and still ended up with a 3.0.

 

[Dumac]

What course?

Discrete Mathematics

I didn't have a choice on the professor. He was the only one teaching the class this semester.

Computer Engineering/Computer Science

wait until you start having to take a full-sized bus to school.

Discrete Mathematics

So why did you get a B? I ask not to be a smartass but because I remember when I took discrete math some things were nice and easy and other stuff drove me crazy.

 

[JTsyo]

You can probably take it again and have the new grade overwrite it.

 

[DougK62]

You're upset about getting a B? Seriously?

Well, towards the end of the semester (and this is totally my fault) I became so bored with the material that I stopped going to lectures. I would estimate I went to about only half the lectures towards the end, and when I did go, I wasn't even really paying attention. I just always thought or more productive things I could be doing with my time, like homework or a meeting (not sleeping!).

I figured that I'd just do the homework and readings on my own time. The material was so pathetically easy anyway. Homeworks only took 30 minutes to an hour, and none of the concepts in the reading too more than a first glance.

But it turned out on the final that he asked a lot of stuff that wasn't on the homeworks or in the readings...stuff he just mentioned in class. And it wasn't the type of stuff you could BS or figure out from concepts you already know. There were questions like "What is blahblahblah's theorem (mentioned in class)" or "What was that proof I did in class"

I didn't do THAT terrible (90/115 is ~ 78%) but that was enough to bring my grade down.

Again, my fault, I know, but I just wanted to share
