Why it worked

The video taps into the relatable experience of students checking their grades, particularly in challenging academic environments like MIT. The creator's candid reactions and the clear presentation of grades make it engaging and shareable content within the student community.

Transcript

check my midterm grades with me at MIT. First up is Deep Learning, which is a grad class. This is the first time the class has a midterm, so I don't really know what to study and I'm not really feeling that great about it. Okay, let's take a look. So the average was a 43.5 out of 56, and I got like a 44.25 out of 56, so a little bit above average. Honestly, average is good enough for me at this point. So, pretty happy about it. Next up is Managerial Finance, which is a class in Sloan Business School, so there's a lot of MBAs, which is a little intimidating. The average was a 70%, which our professor said was lower than expected, so that's a little scary. This is the first ever finance class I've taken, so hopefully I did well. Okay, I got a 90%, so I'm pretty happy about that. Next up is Statistics, and I'm feeling pretty good about this one. So I got a 97 out of 100, which is pretty good, so I'm definitely happy about that. So, my last class is Finance & Society, which is a writing class. We had a 2000 word paper, not a test, but I'll check that right now. Not my finest moment, but I crammed this paper in one day, so hopefully it was good enough. Okay, I got an 88, which is honestly fine by me since I like did this all in a few hours, so I can't really complain.
