I never cared to be honest. As long as I didn't lose my scholarship by straight failing a course, school is a means to an end.
If you graduate with a 1.0 GPA, you still graduated. Only government jobs actually wanted to see my transcripts, and the research is more dazzling anyway.
I had a professor who used to say "D stands for degree" first day of class he told us "Engineering is competitive, most of you will drop out." And "I've been teaching for 37 years and I've never given a student an A."
I had the highest grade in my class with a C. .
I used to say "it takes more work to pass ONE test in engineering than to get an MBA.".
No! Getting a “C” was considered very bad in our house. Even a “B” better have a good explanation. Essentially with a “B” on my report card, the only remotely acceptable situation was if everything else was an “A”, but even then I’d still get the, “this better be an “A” on your next report card young lady, speech!
C's get degrees. I never freaked out over a C because I knew in any math class a C was the highest I was gonna get. I got A's and B's in all my English and most of my science (physics was a bitch) classes. All A's in any elective I took. And all A's in Phys. Ed/Health. So my C average in math never bothered me.
I've gotten several C's on exams before, especially in college, so it wasn't a big concern or an issue for me. I even got a C in one of my college courses because it was really difficult.
No… it’s not about the grade for me. I hated school and was fine getting Ds and purposely gotten an F … because I didn’t want to go to that class… grades were not important to me. well I am being punished and stuck in first for a long time now. … as a teacher.
No, here we have a saying "4 (a D) wins" (meaning: worst scenario: even if you get a D in everything, you will still pass) sooo after grade 10 I stopped stressing about my grades and only focused on finishing and getting my degree and I finished with a better C lol
I didn’t Care What Grade I got When I got bad Grades I just Did extra Credit and My grade went up. I passed every grade I was in and Never went to Summer school 🏫 because I always did Extra Credit to make My Grades up.
