You know I really hate teachers grading systems. I had my final course paper that I turned in last week and the grade came back from the teacher as a C. The part that gets me is the teach said in comments good job meeting the requirements for the outline and the description.
How do you give one a C when you meet the requirements. He then proceeded to outline more things I could have put in. No in all honest I talked to people about putting those things in and for what I wanted to do they said it wasnt necessary. So I left them out. Then he told me that I needed to do extra things for the paper that wasnt in the requirements.
The point is I dont understand the C. Maybe at least a B or a lower A for not going above and beyond. That is understandable, but how do you give someone a C for meeting the requirements?
Ok I'm done venting.

but C is average.
and passing. after you have a degree people aren't going to ask, "what did you get on that paper?" They are gonna point at your degree and say, "oh man. He's freakin' smart." the end. and it's true.
you are freakin' smart.
I'm a teacher and I hate grading systems.
In college a lot of teachers say "C-right in the middle, meets the criteria, does not meet more than average." B's mean you did better than expected but not great, A's mean way above and beyond. It's really stupid.
I also hate bell curves. I think they're gay.
I'm sorry you got a C...as a teacher, you probably did deserve much higher. In my opinion meeting all the requirements should be an A plain and simple. You've met 90-100% of the expectations, which to me, means an A.
Hey--at least you know you have an A in my book!
Well I so understand the venting. In a masters program a C is like failing and he may hae to retake it. That is the problem. It is stinky pants and I don't think it is fair that you met the requirements but still esentially flunked you! Arrgh
