Ok, so after moving 4 times this year, getting sick umpteen times, stress, craziness is my here life, I get my grades back from this past semester. Now granted, I did not study as much due to family issues and MOVING so much, but I tried my darndest and thought I had 3 A's and 2 B's. Well thank to a darn grading scale, I got 1 A, 3 B's and C!!!!! What!!! I understand curves but I worked my behind off to get those grades and now because half the class didn't show up, they curved the grade and I got....well...you know....

Not fair!! Not fair!!!!Not fair!!!!

Ok, tantrum over....just had to vent.

Cheers,
Heather

its actually against the law to curve a grade so that it goes lower than what you earned. If you actually earned higher than a c than you need to talk to your professor NOW.

Oh honey I feel your pain, my grad professor totally gave me 2 b's and the other two classes I had A's...I had a 4.0 till the dumb *@$&* did that. She claimed I didn't do stuff...um yeah I did and I even proved it but what can you do? :(
