Spring 09 Grades

[Towelie]

Post em!




I had high end B's going into the finals where I got A's on the final... but I still got a B in the class. And the only class I went in with an A, I got a B on the final, and a B in the class. I've been screwed over haha. My swim grade was an 89% too... so every grade was a B+ lol.

[Ergot]

LOL YOU SWIM BAD

[Towelie]

I validated it first day with a test lol. I got an 89% on it... so I took that over taking the class for a semester.

[Blaze]

A written test?

[Newby]

Sucks. I'm probably going to wind up with:

ECS 040: A
MAT 021D: Up in the air, I'm hoping for a B+.
PHY 009HC: B+, maybe A-. Depends on how I did on the midterm!

Granted, I do have another 4 weeks left in this quarter.

[BigAznDaddy]

I still have a week left of school

I'm still unsure what my Physics lecture grade will be, but the others I am pretty confident in.

A C C?

That would be a hopeful guess so far. I think in math I'm going to literally have to ace the final to get even a C in the course. Ugh. :/

[Newby]

So I'm pretty sure that this final for programming will be an absolute joke, so I am gonna get an A in that course.

Physics I did better than I thought on the final, so there's a good chance I'll get a B in the course. Maybe even a B+!

Math... I'm debating just bombing the final, taking the D/F, and re-taking the course in the fall. I'll get an A then, because the professor will be reasonable, and if I wind up getting a C in this course (a good chance) I can't re-take and I'm stuck with the C. But if I get 100% on the final, I *could* pull a B-. Maaaybe.

It's an all or nothing. I'll totally study like I'm shooting for that B-, but if I walk in, feel like I won't do too hot on the final.

But none of you will read this, because you finished your spring classes.

Some profs will use your exam grade (or weight it really highly) if it is much better than your overall grade.

[Newby]

I guess we'll find out. I'm gonna study tonight like it matters, and then tomorrow at 1pm is my doomsday march.

I get the feeling the prof won't do that, though, since it's a good 200 people in the course, and I doubt he cares about any one person's grade.

He's my professor next fall, too.... I think I might drop that course and take the higher-level one (you prove linear algebra instead of learning it). It's supposed to be more useful.

Oh yeah, I took a good linear algebra course like that.  Possibly the best course I took in university.  I didn't get as good a mark as I would have with the other course, but in the long run, it was definitely worth it.

I'm pretty sure the "weighting the exam more" thing happened to me in a course with about 70-80 people.

In my two years I've never once encountered a professor/instructor in any class, large or small, that did that..

I had a couple profs who offered it, but they told you up front.

I think if a prof sees, for example, that a student was at 60% pre-final, and then gets 95% on the final, more often than not the final will be weighted more -- regardless of whether they explicitly tell the class.  Some profs won't do this, but I think they are in the minority.  (It would be more uncommon to do this in a class with multiple sections and different instructors for different sections).

So I apparently got an A- in physics. Hooray!! HOORAY!!

[Sidoh]

So I apparently got an A- in physics. Hooray!! HOORAY!!

congrats!!

Does that mean you get to keep money you make this summer?

I'm waiting on my math grade, that will determine it. But that's one class I was somewhat worried about, since I had a 73% (raw) and a lot of people passed exams that I, for some reason, couldn't.

Guess they all failed the quizzes and homework, which I dominated.

Final grades:

ECS 040 (Intro to Programming and Problem Solving): A
MAT 021D (Vector Analysis): C+
PHY 009HC (Honors Physics -- Waves, Optics, Quantum Mechanics): A-
