On Thursday I had my last class in Fall term. My part-time MBA first term is officially over.
In Business Ethics class we turned in our final research papers. Professor said he will get to grading them next day, so he hoped we will have our grades within a week.
I also got my grade for the Financial Accounting course which I had a final exam for just the day before. This is an example of super efficiency! Turned out I was not nearly that efficient or, rather, effective in that course. Let’s just put it this way: I passed! Given the trouble I had with this course all through the term, I am as happy as I can be. As much as I can be ambitious, I will just take this one and run with it. I believe I will make up for that grade in my two other classes I had this half-term.
Speaking of the time frame for exams grading. There are other examples of instructors taking their time quite liberally in grading exams and a whole course. I had to wait almost a month for my Financial Accounting I final grade. Yesterday I talked with one of my classmates about this, and she mentioned that in one of her classes in the first half-term they received their grades only three days ago. That’s a whopping 7 weeks wait!
That’s why I appreciate quick grading. Especially in my case with Accounting, it would be quite gut-wrenching to wait for that long to see if I even made it through. But I did, and I have a reason to celebrate! And that’s exactly what I am going to do for the next three weeks.
