2 exams down for the semester:

Exam 1 Grades:

27 Bs (only 1 B+)
34 Cs
18 Ds
4 Fs

Exam 2 Grades:

25 Bs (only 1 B+)
32 Cs
16 Ds
10 Fs

WTF?

I once had a tearch say that he grades himself on the absence of C's on tests. He said that there are always going to be whiz kids that always have A's a slackers that get F's...but C's are students that could get A's or B's if I would have explained the material better. It makes sense to me....

So I guess your history prof failed that test....

well- the TA is on our side and since this is her last semester before defending her dissertation, she really doesn't care if she gives everyone full points for recitations. So I know that assures me at least a B in the class no matter how I do on the final.

I got a B in a course where all three of my assignments were B+ or A. I guess I did badly on those in class assignments that didn't have an official grade returned to me.

So you go from complaining how a professor is grading poorly to a TA that, icould also be considered as grading poorly for not caring "if she gives everyone full points?"

I don't understand that one.
