<p>This question was really pointless and trivial - so I’m changing it slightly. Do you consider the class average for an assignment when looking at your own grade?</p>
<p>Only if it’s curved.</p>
<p>Usually the class average isn’t reported at my school, but I like to know the class average when I’m considering whether I should be proud of myself or not.</p>
<p>Our online gradebook/portal thing gives us the class average for everything, even homework assignments, which are usually graded out of 2 points - (it’ll say class avg. 1.8/2 or something if say, four kids didnt do their homework.) I use it to determine how well I “actually” did since say, a 100 on a test isn’t really a big deal if the class average is a 96, but a 90 on a quiz is, if the avg. is like a 47.</p>
<p>I do. This yer I’m taking Spanish 2, and we got graded based on our preparation (materials). I got a 10/30 because I didn’t have everything. When I looked on my grading website, I had a 60. I only looked because of the bad grade I had received. I got all the materials in so I had 100. But after that, the next day I had a grade of 104.17. I still have that grade. So yeah, only if I know it’s bad.</p>
<p>I didn’t even know what that was.</p>
<p>yes. i judge myself based on what everyone else does… that seems like a joke but really it’s not </p>
<p>it’s sad</p>
<p>lololol</p>
<p>^ that’s me right there.</p>
<p>If I don’t get higher than the class average–even if I get an A–I get all p/o’d. Happened to me on the science safety quiz…</p>
<p>@Yakisoba - I did this problem set online for Calculus that is due at 10pm tonight, and its constantly generating a class average (like, if I only completed one problem, which would be ~5%, it would generate the class average as though that was my score…) and I got a 92 on it, and I keep checking the site, and the class average keeps creeping up slowly and its worrying me… LOL it used to be 71%, now its 80%… I wanted to have a comfortable margin between me and the “class average.” Sigh. </p>
<p>Hopefully a couple of people bomb it in the next thirty minutes because of procrastination/apathy/rushing LOL. That sounds terrible… but yah.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Same here.
I also get PO’d if I’m like one point below the class high. Especially if my best friend gets the class high, lmao.</p>
<p>@baileyj57 Last year in AP World, the guy I liked used to always one up me on the class high, consistently. I’d get a 95 and he’d end up with a 96 which turned out to be the class high… Hrumph. I had very conflicting feelings about him at those moments… LOLOL.</p>
<p>That happened to me with my friend in 7th grade. I’d get a 97, she’d get a 98. I can relate</p>
