Final Grade

What the...?

October 15, 2004 10:10:16 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums
So, that paper I posted as my last article? Link

Here's how the grade broke down on it:

A "works cited" of at least five (5) sources
20/20
[It was there... I didn't post it. I'll put it in the comments.]

Proper use of MLA style - a works cited, parenthetical notations, header, proper format
25/40
[Obviously, I didn't do the notations at all.]

The extent to which the paper demonstrates outside research and knowledge learned
85/100
[It was supposed to be a 5 page paper, and I did 3.]

Proper use of grammar and spelling writing organization, intro and conclusion in writing
40/40
[Conclusion? What's that?]

Total Score
170/200

WTFery abounds.

That actually brings my total score for the class up to ... 92%. An A.
Un-fricking-believable.

Well, it should earn me some points with the wife, anyway. And I'm only one class away from my Associate's now...

Well, the Associate's plan that the Army put me on is "General Studies." But the Associate's that I can get first, through the Defense Language Institute is the "DLI AA," which is described here: Link

Of course, I'm a failed Electrical Engineering student and ROTC cadet. If I had been a Math major, I may have made it through... but then I wouldn't be where I am today. No, not this shitty Fort, I mean with the family I have now. (I find it very hard to second guess past events when I have even one thing good now.)

Take the A and put it in savings, they're sure to dock you as soon as they realize what they've done. You'll probably get "no grades due" on your next few report cards........oh wait, that's army payroll, damnit..............

My biggest regret about this class isn't that I didn't get it done on time (although that would've elminated my biggest regret... hmm.). It's that if I had finished it last week, or even just submitted it with one less paragraph last week, I could've signed up for that next class, and be taking it now. But, now I have to wait two more months.

Someday, I'll stop putting things off. Maybe tomorrow...

True live for today not for the past.

If we all regret about past actions how will we move into action today.

Why? The reward was the same:)

The reward was the same, and now I don't have to take any classes right now (I missed the sign-up period)...
But I still have to take 3 more classes before June, or I have to pay for this POS laptop. You know the one. The one I had in Germany. NOT worth what they would charge me for it...
