oh trust me, i knew enough about my grades to be scared haha. i got a 57 on my first midterm. the curve was ridiculous though, with a C- at 25. that still didn't mean that much to me, because i still didn't know what letter grade i got, what the outliers were, etc. my second midterm looked better at 73, but because all the problems were off of old final exams, people spent hours going over the last ten semesters' final exams, and quite a few people nearly aced the test.</p>
<p>what saved me though was getting one of the highest grades on a computer project that constituted 15% of the final grade, and then studying my ass off for the final and getting one of the highest grades on the final out of two lecture periods. it also didn't hurt that i did all of my homework.</p>
