There's no sin in
failure, only in aiming too low. This is what they said the other
day at a high-school graduation. It makes me think.
Sometimes I wonder if my failure is because I aimed too low, or if it's
because I'm plain old lazy, and just decided to say, "well it's good
enough."I got a B in one of my classes this semster and I'm pissed
about it. I'm mainly pissed because 1/3 of my grade was based on
a group project. I didn't know who was going to be in my group,
and I got stuck with two people who didn't really care. My part
and the other person who wanted an A did a great job on our part.
The third person got me their work early and I was able to fix it, but
the last person, well, I'm not going to go there. I just don't
agree with her point of view, and I think the teacher didn't
either. Either way, I don't think it's fair to grade students on
group projects.
