so in my intro to software engineering class my grade has steadily been climbing higher and higher for each phase of the class project, right. the way my professor does it is that we do our part with our teammates (and we're down to three of us because the two others just stopped interacting with us at all) and then he meets individually with each team to a) see what the team has to demo for him at that point in the project and b) question each team member on things regarding the project. and he's got a pretty good curve on his grading scale so i wasn't too worried about the low grades we were getting at first (low in general, high for the class. on the first phase my team got a 51/100 and we were like the highest grade in the class for that section) but i will say that i have consistently done absolutely dogshit on the individual question portions (where he singles us out) because he keeps asking me questions that catch me off-guard, right.

and like i'm not being self-deprecating or anything i'm well aware that i stumble over my words (and my wording) because i've got a brain that completely shits itself when something goes "off-script" and barely wants to pay attention to things it doesn't find interesting on a good day. he asked me questions i wasn't prepared for in both the meetings we've had so far and i completely fumbled the interaction. like, audibly. went dead silent at one point because i short-circuited and he had to guide me through what he actually wanted me to respond with. and i KNOW that the individual meetings count towards part of the grade. So tell me how in the actual hell i made a 100% on this phase of the project. TELL me. genuinely baffling. i talked with one of my other teammates and she made a 98% despite her interaction with him being put together, coherent, and professional as fuck. the math isn't mathing. HOW did i get a 100% and she got docked two points???? and i scored higher than both my other teammates on the last project phase too (i made a 79%, they made like 74% & 75%) AND IT'S LIKE ??????? HOW. HOWWWWWW. Like i'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth but what the fuck even is his grading man (he's literally known as the single harshest professor in the department in terms of grading, multiple students not in our team have already had to drop the class because he was giving them grades in previous phases like 15%, 39%, 49%, etc.). This guy is the type of guy who has almost a hundred ratings on ratemyprofessor going "DO NOT TAKE THIS MAN'S CLASS" and he actually gave our team a compliment????? During our team meeting session??????? INSANE NEVER DONE BEFORE. HOW DID I MAKE A 100% BRO I DON'T UNDERSTAND
