I hate Penn in Touch. Or my teachers.
Jan. 3rd, 2006 09:35 amThe deadline for grades to be up is today. I still have nothing there for Spirit & Law, and the incomplete for Jewish History. Granted, the latter may be because Professor Ruderman and Andrew haven't had a chance to meet.
But there is no good reason why Professor Fishman can't get her grade in by now. I mean, how hard can it be? Nothing we did was graded, at least for the 300 level. [The 500 level had a paper, but that was it.] So either I got an A, because I participated a lot and wrote good responses and facilitated an interesting discussion, or I got lower because my discussion was a roller-coaster out of my control [though she didn't notice that part], my responses weren't good enough, and I didn't participate enough in class. I would think the former to be more true. And grades in Jewish Studies are inflated anyways. We can all get A's. [
desh was right on writing "A's" vs. "As," as much as I hate the stupid apostrophe. I still maintain that BTs should not have an apostrophe.]
Most of us probably deserve A's. We all made class interesting. There was never really a time where no one had anything to say. There was never a week where no one did the reading [even though in a particular week, a certain amount of people may have skipped the reading, there were always enough prepared people. I myself did the readings most weeks, and when I couldn't speak intelligently enough to speak in class, I would at least volunteer to read out loud. Except for the class where my throat hurt, which I still maintain was Adam's fault.]
