I am just waiting on one last professor - my ed psych exam from the first day of finals - and IF all my math is correct and IF that exam result went the way that I believe that it did, I will have a perfect 4.0! I won't quite believe it until the official results are posted, but hey! I am going to be so very, very gratified, satisfied and downright thrilled!
One of my friends posted on FaceBook that she was so proud of her daughter for getting straight As - and so she should be. It takes determination and hard work; which is a heck of a lot easier in your 40s, even if your brain does feel slower and sometimes you have to Google the professor's request to find out what the heck they are talking about (write a reflection paper? What is that?). I had many kids in class who could have/should have had A's, but they avoided extra credit assignments and turned in work late. That just doesn't work!
Here is my theory on getting a good grade: show up every class. Participate in every class. If you don't understand, make an appointment with your professor. Turn in every piece of work, on time, professionally presented. Do EVERY piece of extra credit. That will at least give you a strong start AND (this is important), put the professor on YOUR side!!
