Real A's vs Community College A's
I've two giant A&P tests this week. The integument and skeleton/osseous tissue lab and written tests. The written was today, and I got a 62 out of 70. In most classes this would not be an A, however the standard is only 85% for a 4.0 in this particular class. I was really feeling it for this test, and am a little disappointed. I needed the real A (90+ percent if you will) in order to take some pressure off of the lab test on Thursday. Point and Name for the Appendicular and Axial skeleton might be a little tough.

In colonial heights public schools, the grading scale is tough. 100-93=a, 92-85=b, 84-78=c, 77-70=d, and f for everything else. Shaq made the a/b honor roll. also, CC A's are cheaper than unversity A's as well.
Cheaper and easier. mmmmm.
My school as a kid in Alabama was on a 91 - 100 scale and I really missed having that one point from my last school.
I'm allergic to higher education!
Good to hear Shaq is doing well!
Jorge, Degree, HUT!
Usually, a situational exception obtains with Ben @ NEIU. NEIU is a teaching 4-year. When the Soviet Union fell, they snapped up a lot of mathemeticians and information scientists from the east, toot sweet. Soviet school was very hard.
Here, in town, NEIU has an applied math rep that is the envy of her far more prestigious sisters, here, now.
It is amazing, the passivity of students in the USA. Ya'all speak of it as a process done to ya, rather than as an expressive venue.
Consumerism writ large, dark and ugly. John von Neumann and Clarence Melvin Zener did there post-doctoral work at SIU, as did Bucky. They liked the environment. Clearly, they all could have held posts at Princeton.
I'm glad we're getting more Slavs here, for the most part. They don't feature this squeemish fear of contamination. Never really banned drugs, did the Sovs. They believed the soul of man occured at a far deeper level then the ephemera of substance.
Well, I'm glad you are doing well in school, 'though I'd always hoped you'd become an information scientist.
It wasn't that many years ago when Tiger Wood's dad handed him a golf club with the words: "With this, take over the world!"
Nor was it that long ago that I handed you a voltmeter probe, saying: "Aw, Nathan, don't put that there!.
