Is it impossible to score an A on a Bio I class?

My first bio professor when I came back taught on a weeknight. The first night, she kept saying, "ProTEINS, and neutrons are in the nucleus of the atom" and blah blah blah blah.

I thought to myself she was a little um... hard to hear and thought maybe I just misunderstood her.

Nope. 2nd day, she said same thing; after class I to her in private, "Do you mean proTONS and neutrons?" Nope, the PhD in Bio said, "Proteins" .

got a 98% in class. Sometimes it really is a sucky professor but more often, it is a sucky student who thinks they know it all (I've been that student; 30 years ago).
