Post your grades - Spring 2011 Semester

**Tyche** · 2011-05-19 21:34

We have a pretty stringent attendance policy. You have 2 days you can miss, after that, -1 point to your final grade (6+ minutes late count as an absence). You have to turn in all assignments. Everyday it's late, -.5 points off your final grade.

Crazy story. Our tests are worth about 50 points each, and assignments/quizzes throughout the semester are worth anywhere from 1 point to 5 points. Needless to say, it's a test heavy course. Well, we had a three page paper due over spring break, and I decided "eh, fuck it, it's only 2 points". I thought the policy was that they take off .5 points to that assignments grade everyday it's late, so the max I'd lose was 2 points. Well, come a week later I find out that they just keep taking points off the final grade til either A. You turn it in, or B. The semester is over. Guess I should have read the grading policy more carefully. Did the assignment, turned it in, and luckily it didn't end up breaking me on my final grade. I just think it's absurd that 3 page papers are worth 2 total points when 2 test questions are equal. I'd have preferred they only graded tests and simply eliminated the bullshit. Or at least make the assignments worth their effort.

Just got my AS degree (big woop :\ ). Majoring in Bioengineering.

university physics: B (100 level)
Lab: B (The lab is required for class and grades are brought together)
Organic Chemistry: A (200 level)
Lab: A (same as the physics explanation)
Calc 2: B (200 level)
ECE: A (100 level)

overall GPA is a 3.48 only because i was a lazy fucker my first year.

**Heavencloud** · 2011-05-20 00:23

Organic Chem II (4): A
History of Imperialism (3): A
Biochemistry (4): A-
Biology Seminar (2): B (fuck fuck fuck) might get this changed to a B+.

Course (credits): grade respectively

3.75 this semester, 3.87 cumulative

My Korean classes had a combined 7 tests. I pulled a 85 average across all of them. Better than I thought I would do at least.

**Ferion** · 2011-05-20 01:11

Reading this thread makes me feel like a terrible person for graduating with a 3.3 cumulative GPA.

C.S. for Math/Science: B
Honors Research Seminar (Econ): A
Linear Algebra: B
Probability Theory II: A
Intro to Astronomy/Cosmology: B

Adding in an unrelated major from UofL 9 years ago, my cum GPA is 3.16 lol. I had a bit too much fun my first year. Thankfully, it's all for naught though, as most of those credits won't follow.

**Marked** · 2011-05-20 12:05

Wut r grades?

**Cream Soda** · 2011-05-20 12:53

Is that really an 8 credit class, or how many attempts was that?

**Mertron** · 2011-05-20 13:07

Doctoral Dissertation

**Tyche** · 2011-05-20 13:18

So, you just graduated Oxford with a doctorate lol? I'd say congrats, but I don't think that would really cover the accomplishment.

**Marked** · 2011-05-20 13:36

Oxford, OH ): (Miami U.) You finish your actual classes the 1st/2nd year and then you only have to sign up for seminars and research credits. Still have 1 year left.

**Aristio** · 2011-05-20 13:43

Sociology 21- B
Music 101- B
Political Science 001- C
Economics 002- B
Computer Science- B

Completing your doctoral dissertation in chemistry is still a big accomplishment, congrats.

Econ 204: Intermediate Macroeconomics - A+
Econ 204: Intermediate Macroeconomics - A
Econ 246: Statistical Inference (intro to Econometrics) - A+
Math 208: Mathematics for Economists - B+
Poli 320: British Columbia Political Economy - A

Pretty good so far. I seriously pulled my ass out of the fire in the math course; was on track to get a C or C+ given my early midterm grades. I'm sure matrix algebra and multivariate calculus (focused on constrained optimization) is pretty easy stuff for you math/science folks, but after not doing any real math for 10 years, I'm very happy with it. Math for economics seems to be pretty easy so far, though I'm sure it'll get more complex as more econometric analysis gets pulled into it.

Honestly if you thought your intro econometrics class was pretty easy, which by the looks of your grade you did, the difficulty actually stays pretty constant even into the more advanced stuff. The most difficult part is when you start getting into the non-linear regressions, but even that is pretty simple after you get over the differences of OLS.

Michigan State University - Computer Engineering

Calculus 4 - 4.0

3.2 semester / 3.292 cumulative

My GPA is actually lower than I though, but I guess that isn't too bad.

I saw my professor today for the last two classes, so I asked him about the curve for the finals. 1st class - 20 points, 2nd class - 15 points. Both tests out of 100. Prolly could have done better, but trying to learn piano for a class is hard. Also, everyone in my major is an idiot, so can count on curves.

Elesirdur, I might need you to help me with Economics over the summer. I'm taking a 4 credit class and not really interested in the subject at all.

**Boyiee** · 2011-05-20 17:10

I only took 2 classes this semester, got a 4.0 and a 3.5 (my first non 4.0) but that 2nd one was a 100 level course that I never got around to taking.

Not like it matters.

This, lol. I assume it's still a 4.0? Definitely doesn't exist in my state...
