Still Waiting for Summer

elvenavariI'm still waiting for my summer break to start since I'm taking this hell-a-ish online class but... I got good grades for the Spring 2011 semester! :D
Final grades for the Spring 2011 semester:
Test Prep: A
Education Assessment: A
British Literature II: B
American Literature II: B
My Edu. Assessment grade should be an A. My grade is somewhere between 92%-95%. Either way it's a low A or a solid A. When I emailed my prof about it she was quite...snippy in her reply. I don't care though. It's not like it makes that big of a difference but if I got an A I want my A dangit.
I totally wasn't expecting to get out of Brit Lit with a B. That blew me away. Heck, after taking the Modern and Final exam I thought I was going to be lucky to get out with a D. But now I'm SUPER excited :D
Now if I can only do so well in my online class...
We'll see.
EDIT: I got my A in Education Assessment. My prof said, "This is not exactly how I did the grading (i.e., the quiz is part of homework); However, because you were such a good student and so close, I have changed the grade to an "A". Have a great summer!"
I just want to point out, from our class syllabus (i.e., HER Grading Procedures)
Grading Procedure: Grading for this course will follow a standard point-system scale and percentage scale that totals 100%. Final grades are based on final grades earned for quizzes, exams, participation, attendance, and other assignments. The following scale will be used to determine one’s final grade:
• Attendance/Participation/Quizzes – 100 (20%)
• Homework – 100 (30%)
• Midterm Exam – 100 (25%)
• Final Exam – 100 (25%)
But whatever. I got my A! For a final GPA of 3.5 :D

Date: 2011-05-18 11:46 am (UTC)She ended up giving me my A. I went to her syllabus and copied the grading policy and my friend (who is better at numbers than I) and I figured out my grade. After I emailed this to her she replied stating "that isn't how she conducted her grading but because you have been such a good student and are so close I will change it."
I think it was her way of not admitting that she was wrong.
