Instead, I&#8217;ll just leave this little tidbit: In the last course that I took, I somehow got perfect marks on the gigantic research project. This if baffling because halfway through said project, it was already confirmed that I passed the course, so I half-assed the rest of it. Quarter-assed even, in some parts. And then I got perfect marks. INSANE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My hypothesis on how this happened is this: The project was supposed to be a group project, but since COVID-19 forced the course to be changed to online, the project was also changed to be completed individually. I think this had the net effect of making the instructor grade the projects a little more leniently, since they were designed to be completed by a three- or four-person team. I&#8217;ll gladly accept the grade that I&#8217;ve been given, but I don&#8217;t actually believe that I earned it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve mentioned it in passing on this blog probably many times now, but I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ve ever really written about how over the last five years, I&#8217;ve been oh-so-slowly working towards my Accounting certificate.
