The 8am class I had in my sophomore year of college was the only C I had. The professor who taught that class thought I was one of those low performers because I did so badly in his class. Later he became undergrad chair. I needed to retrieve my class rank for grad school applications, and the request went to him. He rummaged through the files in my presence. When he found mine, he said “it’s impossible”. I was 4th in class in a cohort of about 50. I was a decent student but I always underperformed at 8am. (I’m much older now and I’ve been keeping normal hours for decades since. I’m ok at 8am now. I still hate early morning 7am meetings with Asia however — I’m in pacific time.)
