How do you spell relief? P-A-P-E-R.
Apparently, because she gave us a paper to write, our health law prof no longer has to follow our incredibly super strict school curve. I was so worried - our grades are primarily based on quizzes for that class. Easy quizzes. Where you might miss 1 or 2 of 75 points because she worded the question in a way that made no sense to you. And it's like that for every quiz. So, you could miss 1 point in every 75-point quiz and still find yourself with a C for the class.
You know me. Therefore you know my increasing panic every time I saw a "-1" on a returned quiz. I once got "-2" and nearly passed out. Here I am, right on the bubble between summa and magna, and I could miss out on summa merely because of some stupid point on some stupid health law quiz and dear God why did I sign up for this class?
But no! Because there was a paper, no curve! So we can all get As if the prof feels like it! And if we act as a discussion leader Thursday we can gain back up to 5 lost quiz points. (and the good way - if we only lost 3 points total we'd only get back 3 points - not increase our total to 102 of 100. I hate profs that do not get the point and issue extra credit assignments that just increase the total point value, so even someone that already had 100 has to do the EC to stay competitive.)
I take back the bad things I thought about that prof. Well, I take back half the bad things I thought about her.
