Ellie Bryant's Student Records

Post: # 13457Post Rosy »

Student Name: Ellie Allison Bryant
Year: Freshman
Major: Undecided
Curriculum: Intro to Plant Biology, Gen. Chem I, Plant Systematics.
Dorm: N/A

Note that these are not full schedules, due to Ellie still being in high school.

First Semester- Spring 1034

Class: Intro to Plant Biology
Grade: A

Thankfully the intro course covered plenty she already had some background in, and this made things considerably easier. Ellie also won over the professor, which helped her a bit. In any case, studying for this was easy for her, since it's a lot of fun to her.

Class: Plant Systematics
Grade: B+

This class was challenging, but Ellie absolutely loves the subject. Only the advanced nature of this particular course, and her limited experience both in taking college classes and in college level botany, prevented her from getting a full A.

Class: General Chemistry I
Grade: B-

Ellie isn't a genius, and this class was both outside her comfort zone and generally a difficult one, especially considering her age. Moreover Ellie was very distracted this semester. It took everything she had to even pull this off.

Second Semester- Autumn 1034

Class: General Chemistry II
Grade: B

Ellie improved from last semester for several reasons. First, this being her second semester meant she wasn't held up by inexperience in college courses and exams. By the second semester of Gen Chem, she was also more used to the structure of both the course and the subject itself.

Class: Ecology
Grade: A

Ellie loves plants because she loves the forest, and as Ecology is the study of ecosystems she had a ball in this class. She did annoy some students by asking too many questions in class, especially since it was a large one. For her though this only made her more invested in the course, since it's progress over her shyness.

Class: General Chemistry Laboratory (This is a half credit per semester course)
Grade: C+

Ellie's chemistry education hasn't been perfect, and lab was harder still. Precise procedures, picky grading and processes, and annoying specifics frustrated her, and a frustrated Ellie is not a successful one. She was more than a little petulant as a result. Her lab partner was someone she didn't know who quickly came to hate her for not knowing much and being somewhat immature- this made her even less successful.

Oddly, she did get an A on one assignment...

Class: Biology Laboratory (This is a half credit per semester course)
Grade: A-

This was the reverse of Ellie's experience in chem lab. She and her lab partner hit it off, the professor was friendly, and the subject wasn't too alien to her. Ellie's confidence in her knowledge of biology helped her a lot here, as confidence or lack thereof makes a big difference in her academic performance.

Yearly GPA: 3.29
