Then there is Portico…but my favorite CSOM requirement is (Intro to?) Excel (MI 021). A&S students in the physical sciences are just expected to know Excel, or learn it on the fly…



I’m a computer science major and freshman year CSOM students would frequently ask if what I did in my CS classes was similar to what they did in Computers in Management. Honestly I still find making graphs on excel frustrating and I’m not fully used to the MS Office UI changes.

Anyways, usually when I felt I had an easy A it’s because the class was easy, rather than because of grade inflation. I was also told by an English professor that the department is cracking down on grade inflation.

You can also view your class rank in Agora just to remind youself that even with grade inflation you have a better GPA than most students.
