What should my grade be.

Well this is a big question that might be fun to look at. I need to look at the facts. There has been a lot of things going on in this class, and it would only be fair to make a decision from what has transpired over the last four months.

One, I have not missed a class, and I would rather die than miss the final. This might not seem like a lot, but when in a college class you need to be there to get all the assignments. I can’t think of how to do everything without being in the class. I did set up arrangements to get board notes if I ever missed a class.

Two, I have a very extensive blog with over six pages of entries. I started out a little slow, only eight the first month, and four the second, but it picked up after that. Now the lesson is learned, and I blog on most days. 18 in November alone, and so far this month I have several. It has become a part of what I do.

Three, all work was turned in on time, excluding the very first. I needed to email that one in the next morning. I finally learned that I should come to the class with work prepared to turn in, then if we only work on it, I haven't been late.So I complete a lot of work In the first week, and only fine tuned it the rest of the time.

Forth, I have spent many hours in the lab. As of this writing I have over 28 hours. The one thing that might reflect on my grade would be the number of sheets I have, but I’m still working on this. I like the lab and would like to continue using it. I’ve learned a lot about my English skills while in the lab.

Now it time to think about the grade. All my graded work has been a B or better. I think that if I was to average them out they would be in the high B’s. I’m not sure though; having the A on my research paper, doing all the blog’s, the attendance and the time in the lab might bring this up even higher. So again, it’s back to the grade. I think at this point I would be border line A/B, but it would all depend on what the 30% finalm is. I want to say I can do well on the final, but as one of my blogs says, “Don’t count your chickens until the egg’s hatch.”
