Category: After seeing my exam 2 grade from Managerial Economics, and my final grade as a result, I am truly embarrassed and humbled. I learned of my final grade at work before seeing what I got on the exam and was dumbfounded; after seeing the mistakes I made, I really should return my prior degrees.
It’s funny how in the absence of information (my exam 2 grade), how we as humans (or maybe it’s just me) naturally default to ‘there must be some sort of mistake’. There was, but it’s mine and mine alone.
Usually, I don’t go back over exams that I got to review the actual grade…sure, there could be a incorrect point deduction here, or a mis-grade there, but from my prior experience as a teaching assistant those points don’t matter in the end. So I usually just give my exams a cursory glance and move on. I reviewed every single question on this exam, and I think I’ve got the potential for an extra point or two. But I’m not going to ask for a review, because those points don’t change this simple fact:
There are at least 7 places on the exam where I had the correct answer, and for whatever reason, decided I should change it without looking at the textbook for a quick verification.
