We are more than half done with summer quarter now so I thought it was time for an update.
Chem 100~ Going well, not that I thought it wouldn't. The teacher can be a bit frustrating when he marks down your homework without one single note as to what you got marked down for. When asked.."Oh, maybe I was grading too fast, I'll take another look." Followed by, "I'm not sure what you are whining about, you have one of the highest grades in the class and most people would give their right eye tooth for your grade... whats a few more points?" Ugh, I dunno, maybe cause I earned them? Or maybe I didn't, but if I didn't I would at least like to know where I was docked the points.
Statistics~ I don't know what to say about this class. We are graded almost entirely on our 3 tests and final. Though we have a bunch of required homework that may or may not count toward our final grade. Oh, and gee he didn't realize how quickly the quarter was going by and doesn't feel it's fair to give us our second test without having graded our first test... so there will only be 2 tests instead of 3 and one of them will be a take home test. OH, and then he didn't remember to write the take home test so instead of lecturing he'll just have us help him come up with a couple problems to use for the take home test. And then get distracted by the pretty numbers on the board and get carried away giving us the answer to the first question. I finally got my first test back last night... 98%, add in my extra credit participation points and I received 102%. He let me know if I wasn't satisfied with my test score to let him know and he would arrange a make up test. I think I'll just stick with what I have.
Med Term~ This class has been a learning experience for me. At this point in my life, self paced courses are a dangerous move. Based on her rough timeline, I am about 3 weeks behind. I'm not too worried yet, so far I've been able to hammer out a week in a day. This weekend will, hopefully, be a big catching up weekend.
