When
one is engaged in scholarly effort, it can be frustrating waiting to hear back
on your performance. The anxiety involved with devoting hours upon hours of
your time preparing for a test or crafting a long report is amplified by the
fact that after you turn in the assignment or submit your test, you will have to
wait for your grades.
Chad
Harp had to deal with this semester after semester at the University of Nevada,
Las Vegas. In 2012, he graduated from the school with a bachelor's degree in
political science. Chad Harp is an excellent scholar and student, which is
reflected in the fact that he finished his entire four-year program with a GPA
of 3.96. This almost perfect GPA was a very rewarding result after his four
years of effort in the program.
Still,
every paper, project, and exam he took filled him with an anxious desire to
know his grade as soon as possible. It would be nice for students everywhere to
be able to have immediate feedback on their work. This normal aspect of human
nature is the reason that people like the instant recognition of social media
and other platforms people interact with on a daily basis.
Still,
Chad Harp knew that he was putting forth his best work. Deep down he knew he
would always receive good grades for his work, but it was always frustrating to
wait to have that belief confirmed. Performing well in college always felt good
for Chad Harp. Not only did his high grades feel good emotionally, they also
set Chad Harp up for an even more successful career.
Chad
Harp will be attending the University of Nevada, Las Vegas MBA graduate program
in the fall of 2013. He has no doubt that his academic success will carry over
into his master's degree. Sure, it will take some adjustment to how things are
done in a graduate program, but Chad Harp knows he will persevere and succeed.
