Aleks - Did I pass the course?

I wish everyone would do this. Nothing irked me more at my CC than when my "peers" would say, "I have a 74%, so I'm just going to skip [the final, the next two assignments, any studying]" like they don't need to learn the material.

They probably didn't. I've taken PLENTY of classes where I didn't need to learn the material. It would never again come up in life, and since it's 28 years later, I think it's pretty safe to say that.

I only did it because I liked it. And because I knew that if I went to 100% on Beginning Algebra, it would make it easier to do Intermediate Algebra. And so on.

I'm going through Managerial Accounting now, I think it's a complete waste of my time, and am not even trying to do anything but get the pass. I worked in Accounting for 8 years, never did a single thing that I'm learning in MA. Now Financial Accounting is a whole other story - used that on a daily basis no matter how high up I got in accounting. But managerial - nada.

We all only have a limited amount of time in our lives, and we have to choose what we spend it on. Some of us are just not going to spend it on schooling stuff above what's necessary. That's ok too.
