Congrats to Molly's straight A in the Fall semester ... very smart and intellectual player.

"Bent, a mathematics major, recorded a 4.0 grade point average during the Fall 2019 semester, her fifth consecutive semester of all A’s. In her academic career at UConn she has one B-plus. "

The B+ is in english (not math) so I am even more impressed.

Wait a minute! You’re telling me that Molly got a B+ in English? Sounds to me like some Associate Professor trying to make a name for themselves in a bid for tenure. “My class is so tough even Molly Bent couldn’t earn an A.”

A wonderful, child of good parents, Student, Player, Person. She will be great at whatever she may choose beyond Uconn.

Maybe handle the analytics at UConn.

Frankly, Dude, I think your post would read just fine without the . I had pretty much the same thought. Regardless of the circumstance, I hope that AP hasn't read this article. Because if s/he has or does, s/he just might end up feeling a little less of themselves as an AP, P, and/or person.

I am guessing that unlike math courses which are generally objectively graded, English classes are often subjectively graded. Since her B+ was early in her career, she probably needed some experience to learn the idiosyncrasies of the particular instructor.

This numerate is impressed by the B+ in English. I had a 4.0 in physics (close to half my classes), A’s and B’s in math (most of the rest), and did pretty poorly in the “distribution requirements.”

Back then, I was pretty much a right and wrong, or fact-based guy, so as you allude, I never mastered the whole analyzing stuff for some person who thinks nothing like a scientist. It’s amazing how much I’ve changed having been married for 25 years and having a college-aged daughter who’s a writer and thinks like one. I’m a master of nuance now.

Do they still teach geography? Lol

Excellent read, just reinforces my respect for Molly.

Not everyone is soooooo fra-gee-lee. It is probably having a good laugh.

Great article. Whatever Molly chooses to do in the future, she’ll be great at. Managing the grueling basketball schedule with a near perfect academic record in a STEM major is an incredible accomplishment.

With Molly being a senior, I don't see anywhere on the schedule where she is having a game played near her home. I thought it was tradition for all seniors to have a game played in their hometown state. Did I miss something here?

Storrs is a short drive for her family

You do realize that Storrs, CT is about an hour drive from Molly’s hometown of Centerville, MA?

I look at it the other way.

With all due respect, tenure review committees don't generally give a flying flip about teaching, let alone who profs give mediocre grades to.

True, but my son who got tenure from his university is known around his school as a great teacher who students vie for as well as a being known for his publications and research. I’m pretty sure they don’t look at his grading pattern.

Anyway, no doubt Molly slept through that English class and still managed a B+. Smart kid. Apparently good shooter too.

Somebody should probably let the A.P. who gave Molly a B+ know that.....

Maybe she deserved a B-

Nah. Obvious grade creep for jocks. I always suspected Molly was no more than a straight A- student. Can’t go to her left.
