So I just went and played around with the grading system and found that that one time I missed that one homework assignment is going to cost me 2% of the entire final grade. How is that even right...? I think homework is worth 20% of the final grade... So if, because of that assignment, I lost 10 points on homework... I guess that would translate to and entire two points off my final grade? How is that right, though........??
I'm still not entirely acquainted with how grading and GPA works in college, because I'm just in my first semester, but if things go by letter grades... this BETTER not make me miss a letter grade. I BETTER not miss an A by two points. I BETTER NOT. THAT IS ALL.
(Okay, just I just checked the syllabus and it's divided into A and A- and B+, etc. and if I get a 93, that's an A (90-92.9 is A-) AND WAIT I WANT THAT A. Astronomy is kind of difficult, so I'm not there yet... but... I've got a couple of projects ready to turn in and I hope I did well on them? Also I did this four page extra credit paper that will add 10 points to my next test so I hope I get that A???
