need a 10% on the exam for a 70 in the course, 43% for an 80

Wow

What's an A?

Not sure what an A would be considered

uses percents

percentages*

90%, then.

Would need a 77% on the exam

I have a 66.88% in the course already, exam is worth 30%

wat

that's the weirdest grading system I've heard of

I can one up that

My modern physics course last term, had 40% assignment weighting, and you could get up to 119% on the assignments

no cap, so you go into the exam with all bonus you got

wow

I went into that exam with a 70 something

exam was 30% as well iirc

All my other courses are more reasonable though

roughtly 65% for all my other courses needed for a 70

Mind you, I also only have 70s in those courses

programming I have a 95 in atm

because 20% of the grade was participation

40% assignments which I got all 100s except a few 90s.

And midterm, which I got an 85 on, was only worth 10%

B U L L S H I T C O U R S E O P

I've had a course where the homework didn't matter at all, the tests were the only thing that went into the gradebook

It was pretty fair

Usually, it is basically 60% exam, 30% midterm, 10% assignments

+ or - 5% to each catagory

Anyways, I just spent 20 mins doing the math on what grade I need for shit to procrastinage studying

lol

Good luck on your exam

thanks. First one on the 7th

got 7th, 8th, 12th, 13th and 17th

then I am done

My finals are a few weeks away still

nice

Pika, I want you to imagine a course which has an unlimited number of assignments you can do. (each worth 50-100 points, turn in whenever you want), and you need an arbitrary number of points for an A (say 1200)

Now imagine the reason it was set up this way was so the professor can just fail you on every assignment becuase he likes to feel powerful

lmao

It remains one of my most memorable classes for sure

Did you pass

Everyone can pass

you just have to keep writing papers

F O R E V E R

This is why I like math. Easy pass or fail. Not much left up to interpretation

In maths though you have to argue for partial credit on most exams don't you?

I mean

Only if you did it wrong

Yeah basically

And/or have a lazy teacher

I have never had to do that

Generally if your teacher gives half a damn they can see how much of the work you did correctly

At most, I have had to email a prof and say the marker fucked up, and they give me the marks

but that has only been for actual errors such as not entering shit

have never had a mark I thought was wrong

I'll just chalk it up to you being smart Pika

I am very consistant in being mediocre

a straight 65-75 student

Ds get degrees

At least for undergrad

Do not get me into grad school though

lmao

ooh if that's how you were in high school too then I think I'll be set

So my memory may just be shit, but shouldn't ya'll have heard what colleges you got into about now?

Or have they tried to give you more time for SAT/ ACT testing and pushed those dates back?

lol god no loveland

hs I got consistant 90s

^

Because hs was a joke

Pikachu did you ever do like IB or AP or whatever

Not yet, Spooky

Early comes out a few weeks from now

And i haven't even submitted most of my regular apps yet lol

IB and AP were not offered

as I am a Canadian

Oh, really? I'm surprised.

I went to an arts highschool

sadly
