I just came across this as I read through the syllabus for one of my classes:

"Everyone will start this course with a "B", the standard grade for graduate level work. Students who follow all the requirements of each assigment and complete them on time, including participation in discussions posted in Blackboard, will receive the B, as long as the quality of their written work meets the standard for the University...Remember, a "B" grade is a good grade. It shows that you have satisfactorily demonstrated potential for professional achievement in this subject."

What?! It sounds like he is saying he doesn't give "A"s. I need to contact him about this and see what his requirements are for an A. Hmm. I don't like the sound of this.

This is "Collection Development." So, the question remains, were you and Sara able to bust past the "B" into an "A"? I'm just wondering if it is possible. I'm considering dropping the class. I have to keep my gpa a certain level to maintain my fellowship.

I was half and half. I'm pretty sure that my other class was a social topics in criminology, but I can't remember what it was called. The other Humanities class was a breeze, and the instructor was impressed when people went an extra page or paragraph over the limit, but not impressed if they went two to three pages over.

With Sara's class... *shrugs* can't remember. I know it was an online class, and she prob took the B, and was cool with it.
