Holy gee willagers I have written a total of 51 blogs counting this one. Who would have thought I could find that much to say. But anyways on to the meaning and purpose of this blog. Finals. After talking with he who is to be named later the irony of having finals was exposed to me. Say for instance your final is worth 30% of your total grade. Now up to this point you have a solid A but that is only 70% of your final grade at most. So the final and not raise your grade. You need to get at least a 67% to get an A-, however anything above that will only keep you at your current grade while anything below will greatly decrease it. Granted a 67% may not be hard to achieve but finals are made for failure. There is no way for you to increase your A to an A+ and even if you could an A+ is worth no more than an A. This may be greedy for someone to wish for an A+ but it is more a matter of losing the A. Finals are a formula for failure.
P.S. anyone wanting to go from Chicago to Paris from this friday to January 3 you can get a nonstop flight for $4,766 for two or ride first class for $13,944 per person. Just an idea if anyone wants to go.
