FLF 202 - B+

I am not sure that the fact that a B+ is just a whisper away from an A- is consoling or taunting. I worked my butt off this semester, but I have been consistently getting lower grades on the compositions and the final exam was 2 essays. GPA falling, but it is a slow and gradual fall. It is now at 3.792 overall with the French major GPA at 3.667. The prof warned that for those going onwards, a low grade in this class could hamper us, but I think that a B+ is still in the acceptable range.

Ok, repeat after me: A B+ is NOT a low grade. A B+ is a very good grade. So I'm not perfect. No one is. But a B+ is still a grade of which to be proud.

but..but..but...I shall try to be calm. I honestly think this is in large part due to the fact that I do not have some grammar concepts down. My next course is all grammar and will either kill me or cure me forever of these problems.

Usually on the cut off for passing but not really passing is a B-.

Thank you, that is reassuring. I am never quite sure how hard I have to push myself with all the talk about grade inflation.
