Finally, after suffering measley 92s and 94s on my tests because I kept missing the most incredibly annoying trick questions (I've spent hours on each test, still making a few wrong somehow because of my school's craftiness in posing key questions), I caught my online school truly misgrading one of my papers! What a glorious day. I was enraged at getting a 92 (B+) and carefully examined each mistake. I found that they had completely messed up the third "mistake", and there was no mistaking their error. I had checked "D" as my answer to the multiple choice question, and the carbon copy of my test even showed that I had selected that, yet in the "Correction Instructions" they claimed that I had chosen B.
I got them! Hahahaha!! HAHAHAHAHA
*promptly e-mails UNL with angry letter citing the case of mistreatment*

Hmmm.... so does that mean they have to give 100% on all your past papers now?

heh, yeah I wish.
anakinsolois - Yeah, my school is online. Since I live in China I'm home schooled, and just recently I started taking online courses with the University of Nebraska. No teachers; it's all self-study with their online syllabi and textbooks.

Yeah, it's really relaxed. My parents give me a fixed time schedule to work in, but it's not very long. I'm mostly self-motivated.

I hate self motivation, I prefer the good ole whip and the paddle. nothing like an angry teacher with a cactus up the behind to get you in the mood for serous study, or a dead line. either works.

The interesting thing is, it was a multiple-choice test so it was graded automatically by their servers (I received the results immediately after submitting it). So it was an error in the script, not an error on any teacher's part.

I found that self-motivation works better for me. I have this thing where if a person is angry at me about something I tend to think that there is no pleasing that person, so I don't even try. But, if someone tells me to do something and I can do it on my own time, I can do it better.
