I had a Microeconomics class my sophomore year, which started off very interesting. The professor was great, and I had a couple of buddies in there. However, the testing schedule was something I did not like. Not only was there only two tests plus a final, each test was less than 15 questions long. Although each question could contain any number sub-questions, it was still very short, which meant if you didn't know how to one problem that contained sub-questions A-G, your test score was sure to be awful. The first test I nailed, and got an A. I had been taking excellent notes, and actually focused in the classroom. Unfortunately, my motivation did not hold up. The information got more dull, and the second section had much more information to cover. The second test came around. I wasn't nearly as prepared as the first before studying, and on top of that, I didn't do enough solid studying. I knew a good amount of the answers on the test, but there were a few questions with many sub-questions that I didn't have the slightest clue how to answer. That came back a D or F, no surprise to me. So for the final, I busted my ass. I currently had a C in the class, but could potentially bring that to a B if I did well enough on the final. I had high hopes, believed in myself, studied hard, and....ended up still having that C when the class was all through. Bummer.
Luckily for me, what grade I get in a single college class is completely irrelevant to the important things in life.
