Hello Escapist,
With this semester coming to a close, I've been thinking a lot about my grades and how much they matter in the long run. I was wondering what your opinions are on the matter and where you fall on the (incredibly general) scale of poll options. Feel free to post why you feel your grades are how they are in comment form.
On my end, I've pretty consistently been in the 4.0 range throughout my education. I try just hard enough to do well and be viewed as a "good" student by the faculty. As far as real-world work related to my field goes, I exert considerably more effort.
RE-EDIT: It seems as if the poll options have decided to join us.
ADDITIONAL EDIT: It appears as though my squishy American brain has neglected to realize that other countries use a different grading rubric. For those of you who are unaware, 4.0 is the best you can do and the scale (logically) descends from there.
