<p>@collegevetting, yes, she was very frustrated with this particular class. 10A is the hardest class she has taken so far with respect to how the curve affects the final grade, and according to my D, the class is just very hard in addition to the curve stuff. She earned a B+ in it in spite of it. The class midterms and final average scores for all the students in her class were extremely low…unbelievably low actually. I often wondered to myself how the students learned anything if they’re in essence failing the midterms for which they end up with a C letter grade for the class in the end. </p>
<p>As a Sophomore in her major, she is enjoying her upper division accounting and econ classes much more than when she was pre-majoring. A lot of it probably has to do with the pressures of making the major are over, but she feels her current classes seem to have a more “we’re all in this together” attitude toward the students instead of the pre-major “we need to weed some of these kids out of the program” attitude that she perceived.</p>
<p>@codynigh71, classes fill up fairly quickly in the pre-majors. I asked my daughter if she had any difficulty getting into her 10A class and she said she had no trouble at all. She took 10A in the fall 2013.</p>
