Wow... why doesn't this ever happen to me?!

<p>So we just got back our first midterm for MCB 102. The test was out of 100 points and there are five problems each worth 20 points. The average was 71.</p>

<p>My friend really scored a 74. But I guess the idiot GSI who was grading the thing added up the points wrong. On the front page where you add up all the points, he got a 85.</p>

<p>Wow... Of course I'm not reporting this, he is my friend after all. But I didn't even score the average score, and I'm kind of ****ed that this could have happened. </p>

<p>What a stroke of luck for him. This sort of thing never happens to me. Urg.</p>

<p>End of my vent.</p>

<p>yea thats rough, that ruins the curve a little i guess</p>

<p>that is so f*<strong><em>d up...i would be so *</em></strong>ed too (that type of thing never happens to me either :( )</p>

<p>That was a rough midterm. I hope some miscalculation helps my score.</p>

<p>I think it's a bit unfortunate that he didn't report it himself. Oh well, congratulations to him for being lucky.</p>

<p>I mean I wouldn't report it myself if it happened to me. Unless you are a really ethical and morally upright person, which person in his right mind would actually report that?
Still, I'm frustrated.</p>

<p>Normally, if you report something like that they will let you keep the points and if you don't they will take away your points if caught. Normally, I've always reported those kinds of things (though I have never seen a blunder that big, generally it has only been a couple points).</p>

<p>I've heard that this semester's MCB 102 professor is something of a jackass from my 1AL UGSI, so it would make total sense not to tell this time.</p>
