In reply to the physics of failing a final, posted by Katey on January 14, 2002, at 14:00:57
Katey - am I being dense or was this a physics exam? If so, aren't you a bit ahead of the curve to be taking physics as a junior anyway? In my son's school, it's mostly a course for seniors.
Besides, in the grand scheme of things....
When I was in college, the worse course grade I ever got (by a long shot) was a D in an Old Testament course. I really despised the professor. My father was a minister and taught religion in a college. I sort of got around an over reaction on his part by acting extremely pleased that I got a D because I was certain, I told him, that I had flunked so a D was good fortune. He didn't know quite what to make of this (plus my piercing criticisms of the prof) so he pretty much shut up. Maybe you should remind your father that you could always do worse, and that it's not for lack of effort that you haven't done better.
