Okay, so 19 years after dropping out of University of West Georgia I have returned to University of Phoenix to get a B.S. degree. I just finished my first class and I am happy to say I got………drum roll, please………….. an A! 91.5% to be exact. The instructor apparently either cut me some slack or just didn’t check something out. She gave me 10/10 points on the final paper, which shouldn’t have been possible since it was under the minimum word count she specified. I thought it was my worst paper of the class but she thought otherwise and commented how much my writing improved toward the end. I was really expecting a 7.5/10 which would have cost me one letter grade.
I was a ‘C’ student the first time around so I’ve set a goal to finish with all A’s & B’s and a 3.3 overall GPA. Unfortunately UoP is very epensive so I will probably end up stopping temporarily in January unless they increase the amount of financial aid I qualify for. Next up is Critical Thinking & Computer Logic 330.
