Academic score. Score.

Today I went to school even though I don't have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I hope on the bus and make it to school at just past 10am. I noticed how few people were riding the bus to school, and I noticed how few students were in school when I arrived. I just chalked up the sparse student population to blocked-off class schedules, like mine. However, I walk past the library and I see all the lights are off. Oh shit. I walk back to one of the administration desks and ask them if the school is open today. It was, but it was "Professional Improvement Day," a day when the professors and instructors attend developmental meetings.

Anyway...

I make it to my professor's office and we begin to go over my first test. I didn't do so well on it: I got a 71 out of 100. :( So we go over my test and all the time I notice he is re-grading the answers I'm getting correct. I just chalked that up to him showing his notes. After we are done the test re-assessment he opens his grade book and changes my old grade to my new grade. As he did that I asked him what he was doing. He just said that whenever a student shows interest, and knowledge gained, on a test, he'll change the grade. I went from a 71 to an 85. Not too shabby, I'd say.
