So I got home from class to be surprised by an email from my professor congratulating me on my "excellent performance on the midterm." Having been previously unaware that the grades were posted, I raced onto the blackboard site to see what I got - I was convinced I hadn't done as well as I was hoping, there were some terms that were completely alien to me and due to outside circumstances I'd only made it through half the material I meant to while studying.
So I got a 90%. Considering the class average was something like a 78% and the median was an 80%, this is pretty good. It's also an A. (He curves it, so anything in the 90-100 range is an A, with 86 to 89.9 being an A-.)
However, I was pulling a 92 average before. So despite my "excellent performance on the midterm," my grade actually went down, from a 92 to a 91.25.
Huh.
