physics update

Turd-burgaler professor completely changed the weighting of grades when he posted the final exam scores. Changed it in my favor, but still. That’s just retarded.

Got a 90 on the final, which isn’t as good as I thought I did, but still not bad. Especially considering the 74 I had on the last exam. Too bad the jackass skipped town already, or I would have found somewhere that he graded me wrong. Again.

Final must have been easier than the other two though, because someone got a 99 (and it wasn’t me *cry*), and there were 5 people in the 90s. Highest test average of the three, even though it was a 62.9.

Anyway, the 90 and the new grade weighting left me with an 89.0 for the class. Pretty shitty since RIT doesn’t do plus or minus on grades. 89 = B just like 80 = B. I know I said I would be happy with a B, and I will be, in like a day or two. Just a little pissy that I got to 89 but not 90. So close, and yet so far. And no, doing that last homework would not have helped me. An extra .1 still doesn’t get me to 90.

Edit:
OMFG What a turn of events!!
Apparently 89 does = A!
I didn’t think he would have posted grades to the system already, but he did. Got an A for lecture and lab. Woohoo!

Monday, July 4th – Holiday, no classes.*

*Except 5 week session classes, who may hold class at the professors discression.
Fek.

Scheduled for Monday:
Lecture 9-11, Lab 12-2.

End of lab this morning:
“How many of you are planning to be here on Monday?”
Class of 25 students, four raise their hands.
“One, two, three, four. Four. Hmm.

Well, if we cancel class we still have to cover Physics Gobledegook Topic X, Topic G and Topic M (because he teaches in a really fucked up order, and I dont remember the names). Which means we only have 2 hours on Thursday to cover all of that, and no time for review before your Final on Monday.

Of the four that are planning to come, how many of you would object to not having class?”
————-
“So how many people will be coming on Monday?”
————-
“Ok, well then I guess class on Monday is canceled.”

Majority rules, bitch. No 4th of July Physics torture session for you!
