Hi, I'd like you to check if something is wrong with the following sentences.

I'm not sure if "A"(or "Super A"), which means being excellent, is OK.  

-------------- 

 I took courses in computer programming at ABC University.

 I [ earned / won / received ] "A" at "Introduction to computer programming"

and [ earned / won / received ] "Super A" at "Computer and Engineering".

Don't say you "won" a grade. It sounds like there was a lottery.

In your second course, should it be "Computers" in the plural?
