It is difficult not to worry and focus on grades and GPA - especially when coming from strictly traditional educational environments.

Andy,
I really enjoyed this week's podcast. I used to worry about grades, but while being in LIS 301, I have been focusing on understanding the course. I have been getting more from the class and enjoy discussions with my classmates.
