Should check on your grades throughout the year so you won't be too surprised if there's a small dropoff.

I thought I got a B in ethics and I ended up with a C

just in senior year of high school i thought i would at least get a B, but got a D. but later it turned out that was the highest grade in the class, and there was never really any real explanation why she failed everybody.

You can't always do that. In one of my classes this semester, the grading scale is adjusted and curved so much that it's impossible to know exactly what your grades are. It's obviously easy to tell what your percentages are on homework and tests, but you can't tell if that 70% average is a C- or an A-.

I have never in my life depended on a curve. I work as if there is none. Dead serious. MOST folks start getting lazy when they start depending on that curve

Nope.. never happened to me. Usually I think I'm going to do worse in a class and I get a A

Everytime I had a class with an aggressive curve, the teacher made it his/her duty to make sure the distribution was normal. They usually did this by making the exams as hard as possible. No multiple choice questions, and nothing that even resembled homework problems.

I fukked up the curve and play stupid when folks ask for help The trick is to buy additional books to compliment the course and/or make use of the school or club's tutoring services (i.e. BAP and Accounting Society).

Real analysis.

Real analysis.

Man, you HATE real analysis, don't you?

Anyway, Natural Logic (Essentially Mathematical/Symbolic Logic, taught by a professor who used outmoded symbols ), in which I got a C when I thought I was getting a B or so. The professor was crap (renowned in his field, but a crap teacher) and was single-handedly responsible for me not pursuing a Philosophy major.

Funnily enough, I'm reading through that textbook and other writings by logicians for personal study. Funny, that.
