Good News [for me]

Yesterday: Blackboard announcement

"Position 4 exam had 1 XC question for 2 points that was not assigned that designation in Bb.   That has been fixed so you may see a change in your posted score.    Any questions, let me know. "

Today: [my email]


Mrs. Young-
Out of curiosity, is the final grade rounded up above .5%? I'm on the bubble at 83.6% and was wondering if I can expect a C or a B for the course. I couldn't find anything about it in the syllabus.
Again, thanks for your time - K

Her response:

Hi, K.  It's left up to the individual faculty, but if it is .5 or above, I round up.






Drats! I just read her syllabus again, and she has the lowest B at 85% instead of the usual 84% like the other instructors. Hopefully, with the power of suggestion, I'll make a B for the semester.


We will see.

  2. Maybe not. It depends on how the grade book was set up in BB and the instructor. Good luck!

    1. I guess it will be like Christmas when I open the envelope, either smiling or disappointed.
