"the fact that, uhm...."

gotta love the "credits are unlikely to transfer" thing

Yeah, credits are pretty versatile here at PG, although I'll still probably have the minimum grade in everything.

My cousin transferred from Anne Arundel CC to Clemson and they didn't transfer any of his credits at all, luckily it wasn't more than two semesters worth but still

any schools you plan on transferring to, check if they have something like UMD's TCE:

makes it much easier to see if credits will transfer

Once she added in the attendance and lab hour grades which were both 100s, it took me from a 69 to a 76, and then I took the final today and got a 68% on it, which only brought me down to 75% overall so I passed

That was the most important one to pass so this is very good

chair force.

just do a lot of push ups, sit ups and run like a motherfucker before you go on deployment. getting fit in 3 months isn't really a big problem if you commit.

congrats on the pass!

Yep, that's tomorrow

Hopefully I'll pass it and the shitty past week and a half will be worth it

Icing on the cake would be magically finding a party on Friday night or possibly Saturday night if I'm not at the junkyard or working on my car too long.

In our public schools here, yeah, you get points just for being in the classroom. For class participation. And you get points just for trying on homeworks and tests. Pathetic really...

Edit: I'm referring to public grade school. Uni, not really.

Well, I go to a community college, and I think it's just based on the way the system they chose does it, which is educosoft.com

I'm glad it was able to help me out the way it did, that's a free 100% for 20% of your overall grade.

Easy points only hurt you in the end because you won't have those easy points down the road.

eh its policy for my uni at least and it's pretty damn annoying since you have tutors who have thick accents and make shitty jokes.

my IR tutor compared himself to ban ki-moon and he thinks hes the shit since he's been doing IR for 13 years.

thank god english unis don't give free marks to retards for being able to sit in a class and simply respire and stay awake

you pay for the education so you should turn up because it's costing you money

not be 'rewarded' for getting out of bed and plopping your ass on a seat

you still have to "participate" and turn in "assignments." load of shit really. Giving free marks is one thing, but making it mandatory is another.

I've had some rather horrible science teachers at uni. Lectures that bored to hell. Luckily, attendance wasn't mandatory and homework was optional. Exams were the only thing that mattered. And as such, I spent most of those alloted class times at the student lounge.

we get all of 1% if you attend every class and answer questions with a wireless clicker... yay definitely worth it. i guess it makes me pay attention somewhat more in class since youre participating though

Well, when I can think

We were out there with the car in line to take the test, and some dumb rednecks were causing drama in the building first because they showed up late, and I was thirsty, and then I was just thinking, hmm, I don't really wanna do this again

So I only had to correct myself once on the parallel parking, backed into the space in the next part of the test like PERFECTLY and then took the road test. Only lost points because my grandma left the stupid fucking parking brake on that I never check cuz I don't use it, and I didn't head check enough, and I was slowing down traffic because I waited too long to turn when there was oncoming traffic. Other than that, I seemed to be fine.

I don't think it's sunk in yet really but I haven't driven by myself just yet, although I'll have to pick my sister up in an hour cuz my mom's going to bed already.
