Note to self: not all comments the professor makes are about you

I stayed after class to talk to the professor because he said that he knows students cheated because they either only gave the answers (and not the work) or they included information he never covered in class or THEY SOLVED THE PROBLEMS IN WAYS HE DIDN'T COVER IN CLASS.

Hi, that's me! I solved a few of the problems in ways he didn't cover in class, because frankly, I couldn't understand my notes, so I looked up videos on youtube on how to solve the problems. Well, if it worked and I understood it, I kept that in my head for when the exam came.

I explained that to the professor...or I attempted to before he cut me off and said that he wasn't talking about me because he knows I do the work and that I come to class (he said I was one of his top students which is surprising because I currently have a high C, but I guess he's taking that participation stuff into consideration too), so his comments weren't about me and he didn't want me feeling singled out and didn't want me to get discouraged.

Phew!

I can stop worrying about that and concentrate on this current chapter. We are almost 3 sections in and I'm getting stumped...but not discouraged.
