(no subject)

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.

In my 3 quarters of school I've realized that some professors play hardball at the beginning to scare straight those students who might be apt to screw around. People like you and me ( ;) ) do just fine. But yeah, talking to him wouldn't be a bad idea.

Also, Blackboard is the bane of my existence this quarter. One of my professors only posts material that way so I have to print EVERYTHING myself which is great for my expenses.

OOooo... man, I hate this. Man, it's been too long since I had actual college work.

yeah, I had a couple of professors like this. So did Sara. Mine was a humanities class, and... hmmm... I can't remember what the other one was. What class is this for?
