Well, I am finally done with SWIC. I am debating if I should take Linear Algebra over the summer, if I do I will have a minor in math. But I think I will just take the summer off and prepare for the next 2 years at a real college.
Finals: For the most part they went ok.
I did terrible on my Biology final, but any grade in the 87-22 range was useless. Anything in that range is a “C” for me. I had a 78.5 going in so it would have taken an 87 to bring it up just 1 percent and that was not going to happen.
My next final was in Mid East History. It was 50 fill in the blank with a word bank. about 75% from entire semester and the rest was stuff since last test. When figuring what I needed for an “A” I assumed an 89.5 would round up. But when talking to a friend of mine he won’t be rounding up. With rounding I needed an 87 to keep my “A” and I got an 88, so I will be pissed if he doesn’t round up and I miss out on an “A” by just a couple points.
Right after this I had my Differential Equations test. Which was the one I actually cared about since Math is gonna be my major. I think I nailed it, but am not sure. It was just 10 questions. In this class I have no idea what I will get. We took 5 tests plus the final, but one test can be dropped so everything is worth 20% of my grade. But the problem lies in that I have no seen what I got on the last 2 tests plus final. My grade through the first 3 tests was a 78, which sucks ass. I am pretty sure I have atleast a “B” but if a miracle occured somehow an “A” could be possible.
My last final was in Speech. Man did I bomb that thing. It was 30 fill in the blank (25 graded, 5 extra). The good thing was that he only counts letter grades so it didn’t matter how bad you did, which is lucky for me. I wound up getting a “B” which is good enough for me.
For the most part I enjoyed my time at SWIC. I got off to a rough start my first semester, but I adjusted from my no studying days of high school. I learned very quickly that I can’t pull that off in college anymore.
