I passed. 38/50. Perhaps my expectations are higher than the Universities. Perhaps the rest of the class just did not do as well as they should have and the teacher curved it. One will never know I guess.
Either way, I took the test, reviewed it and now have a better understanding of how to take this teachers test in the future.
As a matter of fact in a different course I had another test with the same teacher. In 50 mins I was one of the 3-4 out of 25 who finished in time. I ended up getting high B grade. On a test that probably half the class or worse got C or lower.
This is the type of class that people talk about years later when they find out you were a student from UMD. It's known by many as the hardest class to have. At UMD it's our capstone for Marketing BBA students. It is known as Marketing Management Strategy, but to many it's known as, "that damn class" to be blunt.
To keep it short as I am between classes, I bounced back quick, took some lessons and applied them quickly to the next task and achieved what I intended.
Feels pretty good to me, better this than being satisfied with simple passing. As many of my friends who are in the same boat as I (last semester) seem to be doing.
