Final grades have posted! The only news I have (since I posted previously about my Cal II and Programming grades) is that I made a B in Physics. I had (have?) mixed feelings about it because I'm pretty sure I was one of the top students in the class (it had dwindled down to about 6 people by the time the drop date came around), but that doesn't seem to be saying much, unfortunately.
The professor told me that a lot of people were struggling this semester. He re-opened homework over spring break because basically no one was doing it besides me. He also re-opened it up at the end for one other student that I know of. This person went from an F to a C (somehow) right at the end of the semester so I'm not sure how that happened. My thought is that if he scaled everyone the same my B should have turned into an A.
So on the one hand I feel like I should have gotten an A for effort (and also the reason above) because I consistently tried my best all semester. But on the other hand I messaged him after he updated Blackboard and I had a B and he told me that was before any scaling and that I definitely earned it so I do feel accomplished.
Though I have some friends and family who are annoyed that I didn't come out with an A I feel like I'm just going to mind my business and take what I earned. Also, I have given enough time and energy to spring semester so I'm not trying to fight about it. 😂 Physics is hard and I did a good job. I may not have had the best test scores, but consistent, on-time hard work does count for something, apparently.
Also, I did better on the Thermodynamics test than I did on any other. Heat engines and all that? Really interesting stuff. Who knew? 🙂 All in all, this was one of the most interesting and challenging classes I've ever taken. I feel like there was so much to learn that I might like to take it again one day, but I can't focus on that right now. Onward! 😃
