Do you prefer to be challenged or just sail through getting your degree?

PS I am SO glad that you were able to get the right answer after 10 years! LOL! That's crazy it took that long! Glad you fixed it

LOL I know! Honestly, it never occurred to me to check my answer key....afterall, no one had any problems!?

I did ask him what I need to do to get a hundred percent in his class and he responded with the post I already posted. His response was that is the highest mark. There were about three or four emails that went back and forth. I've worked with plenty of attorneys over the years because that's my job. Trying to nail them down so that you can get a definitive answer is like trying to eat soup with a fork. I could ask him again and he'd just give me the same response he's given me 3 times now.

I think you're being fair. In my grad school, you need 94 to get an A, 93 is an A-, so I REALLY wanted to score perfectly in any place I could to build in a bit of a "comfort zone" in case I lost a few points in a quiz or on a paper. I think if the scale goes to 100, then there must also be a means of obtaining that number of points, period.

I was talking to someone else about this and they said that some professors have the philosophy that nothing you do can ever be "perfect" so in their eyes, you never deserve 100%. They say these people view it as a motivation to keep striving for better. If you reach 100%, in theory, you won't try any harder than you already have.

My response was profound.

Whatever.
