All I got today is questions. A lot of people got straight As this semester. How will this effect these students in the coming years? Does it take a away from the straight As?

Are grades from this time going to get an “*” just like Barry Bonds?

I don’t think so. To use another baseball analogy. If you hit a weak ground ball that turns into a hit. The joke is, “its a line drive in the scorebook.” It means you got there and it counts. My students worked exceptionally hard in their classes and earned the grades they got.
