Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

"That's great. I also wanted to study law, but I was worried that my score wouldn't be high enough, so I opted for direct admission instead," Feng Pinling said enviously.

After listening, Wang Mingyue smiled but did not reply.

It wasn't that she didn't want to talk to people, it was just that she didn't know how to start a conversation. Originally, the four of them in the dormitory were getting along well. Although there were some minor conflicts and disagreements every day, that was a normal phenomenon among girls.

They argue quickly, and they make up quickly.

To her surprise, after the start of the semester, she was suddenly informed that two of her roommates had been expelled. The remaining roommates and another roommate were then reassigned by the school to other dormitories that were short of students.

Her roommates were fine; they went to the third-year dorms, but she was put into the first-year dorms, which made her feel quite embarrassed.

To be honest, she really didn't want to share a dorm with freshmen. They were immature enough, but they always asked so many questions, and she really didn't have much time to play with them.

Feng Pinling felt a little embarrassed when she saw that Wang Mingyue didn't respond. She particularly disliked people who were impolite and lacked manners.

Zhou Min finally noticed that Teacher Gong had replied to her message half an hour earlier, but it was only eight words long: "Focus your energy on your studies."

Zhou Min couldn't help but roll her eyes. She shouldn't have interfered. After all, the other person was a big shot, and she shouldn't have caused trouble.

Once again, Zhou Min, feeling uneasy about her own feelings, took her change of clothes and went to take a shower. When Zhou Min came out of the shower, she found Jiang Fei engrossed in calculating something.

Zhou Min walked over curiously and found that she was calculating the final grades of her classmates from the previous semester.

Zhou Min glanced at it and asked curiously, "Jiang Fei, why are you calculating this?"

Jiang Fei only then noticed Zhou Min standing next to her and felt a little embarrassed. But she still stammered, "I want to see how my overall grades are this semester."

The calculation of grades in universities is more complicated than in junior and senior high schools, where a student's total grade is simply the sum of the grades in each subject, and the student is ranked based on that sum.

The Capital University calculates the overall grade by first multiplying the grade of each course by the credit hours of that course, then adding the products together to get a sum, and finally dividing this sum by the total credit hours for the semester. The final quotient is the student's average grade for the semester.

If we consider performance evaluation, we also need to remove those whose scores in a single subject do not meet the requirements of each award, and then re-rank them.

Seeing how hard Jiang Fei was struggling to calculate on paper, Zhou Min suggested that she use an Excel spreadsheet and functions to do the calculations.

But then he thought about how he needed to first enter all the names and scores on the report card into a table, which seemed like a lot of work, so he opened his mouth but then closed it again.

Zhou Min thought that the current level of technology was too inconvenient. If it were the future, she could just take a picture of the form with her phone and have it automatically recognized. Why would she need to go through all this trouble?

Zhou Min, who was about to go to sleep, suddenly remembered the message Teacher Gong had sent her earlier. Could it be that he meant she hadn't done well on her final exams last semester?

Thinking of this, Zhou Min couldn't help but worry.

The school will put the final exam results for each semester in an envelope and send them to the student's home address as registered when the student enrolled.

When Zhou Min enrolled, she registered the address of her family's house in the county town. However, her family spent no more than 5 days in the county town during the winter vacation, so they did not receive any report cards.

So Zhou Min still doesn't know how she did on her final exams last semester. She wasn't really concerned about her grades anyway; after all, you reap what you sow, and she felt she did pretty well.

But now that Teacher Gong has said that, she can't help but doubt herself.

Thinking of this, Zhou Min immediately sent Zhang Kun a message: "Do you have my report card from last semester? Take a picture and send it to me."

【...】

Zhou Min stared at the six points Zhang Kun had sent, lost in thought. What did it mean? Was it something that was hard to explain?

【？？？？？？？】Zhou Min sent another string of question marks.

What I mean is that I didn't receive the email.

Zhou Min's first reaction upon seeing the message was disbelief; how could there be so many coincidences? So she replied directly: "I don't believe it."

【real! 】

【Then give me a more plausible reason!】

I filled in the wrong address when I started school.

"Do you think I believe you?" Zhou Min didn't believe he could fill in such simple information wrong.

Okay, I did it on purpose.

For some reason, Zhou Min actually believed the message when she saw it, after all, Zhang Kun was the kind of unreliable person who always did a lot of crazy things.

When Zhang Kun saw that Zhou Min wasn't replying to his messages, he sent another one.

Okay, I admit I just don't want my parents to see my report card, otherwise they'll keep asking me questions, which is really annoying.

[You win!] Zhou Min was speechless at Zhang Kun's thought process.

Zhang Kun took it as Zhou Min praising him and sent her a string of happy smiley faces.

Zhou Min had to ask two more classmates before she finally got her final report card.

Zhou Min glanced around and saw that there were 30 students in the class. According to their student ID numbers, Zhou Min was at the very end.

The student ID numbers should be arranged according to surname and gender. Numbers 1-26 are male, and numbers 27-30 are female. Zhou Min's surname starts with the letter Z, so Zhou Min is listed last.

The advantage of being listed last was that Zhou Min saw her name immediately.

Zhou Min looked at her scores and found that she had done very well, with all subjects except politics scoring above 90.

Zhou Min was particularly pleased with her perfect scores in several math subjects; well, her studies hadn't been in vain.

Zhou Min also scored 99 points in the professional course taught by Teacher Gong. Although she didn't know where she lost the missing point, she was basically satisfied.

However, before Zhou Min could even feel happy, she caught a glimpse of a series of 100s above her eyes.

Okay, everyone is excellent! Zhou Min looked at it carefully and found that everyone's individual subject scores were basically similar. With the addition of credits, it was really hard to tell where she ranked.

However, judging from the grades in the professional course taught by Professor Gong, my ranking was relatively high.

Zhou Min breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, it wasn't too embarrassing.

Perhaps it was because she had embarrassed herself in front of Teacher Gong a few times before, or perhaps it was because she knew he was a big shot. In any case, Zhou Min was now very unwilling to lose face in front of Teacher Gong.

The next morning, Zhou Min got up, quickly washed up, and ran to the classroom to reserve a seat.

This semester, there's another professional course taught by Professor Gong. His classes are always very popular, and even some senior students come to join in the fun.

It's said that they are all people who failed their courses last academic year and came back to retake them this semester.

Sure enough, when Zhou Min arrived at the classroom, she found it was already packed with people. She finally managed to find an empty seat in a corner.

I had just sat down and breathed a sigh of relief when I received a message from Zhang Kun: [I brought you breakfast, can you save me a seat?]

Zhou Min sighed and sent a picture of the crowded classroom. When she first arrived, it was almost impossible to find an empty seat; now that so many more people had arrived, there were probably even fewer.

There was a row of people standing at the back of the classroom!

Zhang Kun was also shocked by the scene, and it took him a long time to send another message.

So these are the senior students who failed Professor Gong last year? Is he really that ruthless?

No wonder Zhang Kun was so shocked. Professor Gong had only ever taught students in the Turing Class, which meant that the total number of students he taught in the previous class was only sixty or seventy.

Look at how crowded this classroom is, did he fail all the students from the previous year?

Thinking of this, Zhang Kun lost interest in queuing for breakfast and ran to the classroom to avoid being late and having to stand outside.
