He guaranties a C for anyone who scores 50% or greater in terms of total points. The A's and B's are determined by beating your pears and are a very scarce resource indeed.<br /><br />I took two of his classes and guess what happened? I knew I could pass with 50% with litterly no effort what so ever. I also knew I could read the book and waste by time to get one more point than a pear and get an A or B.

I have to admit that now I have a greater incentive to try as hard as I can, because if I don't get a score above a 90 then I will have wasted a lot of time and emotional worry over all this option A stuff and would be bitter that I didn't chose option B. Funny thing though is this not an econ class. You think it would be though ;-)Camilla Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02449045341190889112noreply@blogger.com
