Re: I got a B in a class I attended twice.
OK I might as well post this in this thread. I have very little of understanding of how your grading system works, a girl I know who goes to Bryn Mawr just told me she got three 3.7s and a 3.3. Is this good?

Re: I got a B in a class I attended twice.
FWIW, this class didn't sound easy when I signed up for it. This happens pretty frequently, where a class just turns out to be a cake class that isn't worth my time. If I didn't have other things I consider more important, obviously I could have pulled an A by, you know, reading. Or showing up to class. But if I can essentially take a B in a class for doing virtually nothing, it lightens my load and allows me to do better in classes that I might actually learn something from.
I find it fascinating. I'm not at some Ivy League school, but UW is a pretty damn good school and I cannot believe how often I end up in classes that require little to no effort. It happens almost every semester. |

Spam -
in most american colleges/universities, an A is the best possible grade: A = 4.0 A- = 3.67 (3.7) B+ = 3.3 B = 3 and so on and so forth. Depending on your school and it's grade inflation and your major and your zodiac sign, a GPA around 3.5 is either good or average. |

Wow, I'm currently in a Physics class posting on 2+2, talking to friends and doing fantasy baseball and am getting an A. I have done this every day for the past 3 months. I rule.

Re: I got a B in a class I attended twice.
This hapened to me regularly in undergrad. But don't get in the habit if you plan on an advanced degree. It doesn't happen at all in Law School.
