A Sense of Doubt blog post #3559 - Guess Who Earned a 4.0 in his First Quarter in His Return to Graduate School? This Guy!

I am proud to say that I earned a 4.0 in two tough classes in my return to graduate school for my third Master's degree.

My first time in graduate school started this way, too, though, and then I could not keep the 4.0... though I did not know my 4.0 was about to be tanked back then. I had an instructor give me a BA (WMU's A- or B+) for reasons that were not shared with me at the start of the semester or at any time during the semester. In other words, I failed to meet an expectation that I did not even know existed. That was when I decided to be VERY TRANSPARENT with my students as an instructor.

Now, though, as a much older human, I expect great things of myself. I know what I am capable of and I expect to earn high grades if my work has reached the expectations and quality of which I know I am capable.

My new problem is that because of my experience as a college instructor, I have little patience and no real tolerance for lack of transparency from instructors.

This image below shows the A grades, though not well.





Thanks for tuning in.

- Days ago: MOM = 3423 days ago & DAD = 079 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I post Hey Mom blog entries on special occasions. I post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day, and now I have a second count for Days since my Dad died on August 28, 2024. I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of Mom's death, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of her death and sometimes 13:40 EDT for the time of Dad's death. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
