Professor

Fall 2023 - I think the professor is AMAZING. I really loved her and honestly I think she is one of the two best math professors I had so far. She was very kind, sweet, helpful, patient, and communicative, and her lectures were engaging and clear. Her office hours were very helpful as well. BUT, I think the grading is kinda problematic. I had almost full scores for the quizzes and homework assignments, and had over 90% for my final, but still got an A-. My overall score was above 93 but still didn't receive an A?? It is my first time to see a math class that you couldn't get an A with an overall grade above 93. I paid so much effort throughout the whole quarter and did kinda well in everything I think, so I feel kinda unfair and sad. I have no idea why she curved our grades down/ move the cutoff up?? Anyway, overall I still think she is an extremely great professor and it was my great pleasure to take this class with her. She made it fun, enjoyable and manageable as it supposed to be a not-that-easy class. I appreciate it. But I think receiving an A depends on luck somehow even though you paid great effort and did well.
