Grade Is One Thing.. Performance Is Everything!

Thinking of what grade I deserve in Database Management System 2 and why should I have it is quite a tough thing to do.

I even got a grade of 2.9 in my midterm examination, but it is not only the factors to be considered. In terms of activities, I may say that I were able to follow the instructions carefully and finished my work efficiently and on-time. Though sometimes, I feel like failing in this subject due to some confusion, I am not giving up. Rest assured that I study my notes and give the best out of it. So whatever the outcome my performance will do to my final grade, I would respectfully accept it, because I do
