i agree but don't agree--a B in most schools is actually above average, with a c being average. if you do the best that you can do and still pull a b, take pride in that you did the best you could do at the time and know that the next time you approach that material you'll probably be stronger.


True.  Not are courses are created equial, and I found the two online courses I took to be more work than classroom courses.    I got an A in a non mathematical concepts of physics class only because the instructor was being very kind to me.  An advisor told me after I got a B (my first, and so far only one, which was really about a disagreement that I had with a different instructor) that many prospective employees and even some colleges will see staight A's as the mark of a difficult personality - someone who is not a team player.  I think there is truth in that, LOL.

it personally was a very hard lesson for me to learn. my advisor had to look at me one day and say, do you really think that potential employers or grad schools have the time to sit down and dissect every grade you ever had? just don't make it a habit. you can't possibly excel at everything, if you do you're not learning anything.
