Capstone First Assessment

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!! I got a 28/36 on my first assessment of my capstone. That's an A-! (I know, technically that's a C+, but the grading scale for capstones is different.) I almost passed the first time around, except I missed an entire section (oops) so I got a zero and that automatically disqualifies you from passing your assessment. This is an amazing relief that I'm so close now. LoL I seriously thought I wouldn't pass a few sections all together. So I'm so excited I ended up with an A- my first go-around. I thought it'd be a B or less.

I just need 3 more points to get an A (31-34 points) and be eligible for distinction in my major!!!!!!!

Sections - points:
Cover letter - 3/3
Abstract/summary - 2.5/3
Systems approach to environmental decision making - 0/5 (oops!)
area of depth in policy competency - 4/5
Natural science competency - 5/5
Clarity of writing - 3.5/5
Project originality, complexity, and student initiative - 5/5 (I better have gotten a 5 on this section!)
Real-world application - 5/5
