Congratulations BigWill.

But don't get too cocky.

The assignment marks are basically free marks for every student.
I'm glad you got all 10s, but you must work with the assumption that EVERYONE else in class also got 10s. So in essence, everyone is tied at the moment.

The moment of truth will come when the prof gives the class a CLOSED BOOK exam. Then, he will know who has learned the concepts and who has not.

I hope you will be able to create some separation between you and the rest of the class at that time.

Good Luck.

It all depends on your prof.

If he uses the normal distribution to grade the students, then 5% will get A's and 5% will get F's. The other 90% will fall somewhere between that.

Good job, Will.

I will be happy to tutor you next semester if you need it, and you have my word that I will not be condesending toward you when you do well.

Keep it up, buddy.
