Deadlines
Monday, July 31st, 2006Just 2 more days.
Tomorrow is my final in signal analysis and Wednesday my packet is due for the scholarship contest. I have done nothing for either.
I think today I will start the scholarship essay. I’m not too worried about the final. If one thing engineering teaches you, its trade-off evaluation. I calcluated it out that I need a 55% on the final in order to get a B in the class. This means so long as I don’t crap myself and rub it all over my exam like a primate, I will pass. And passing (without bringing down my gpa) is all I want from this class.
Some people may say, “but John, if you only need a 55% to get a B, why dont you shoot for an A?” My reply: “Because you’re not good at math.”
I’ve done the work and a 55% is the lowest score for a B, however lets say I get an 87%, thats 32% higher on the exam. Know what my grade is then? a B+. a perfect 100% will get me that A-, so will an 88%. But do you know how much that affects my GPA? Not damn much at all.
I think my time is better spent on the essay worth $5K.
How was my weekend? It was great, but thats going in another post.
