How difficult is it to get a 4.0?

[sakky]

<p>

Skiing specifically said EECS courses.

</p>

<p>Wrong. Nowhere does he say that he was talking specifically about EECS courses. He just said that he * is * an EECS student, but not that he was talking about EECS courses. And in fact, what he said precisely indicates that he wanted to talk about all courses. Here is what he specifically said, with the key phrase in bold, which reasonably interprets to mean that he is talking about all courses, not just EECS.</p>

<p>

Sakky, I beg to differ. I’m EECS as well, ** but even classes which are not officially curved end up having an average ~3.0 **. Of course, there are some exceptions in the fluff departments which just love everyone, believe in equality, and just sit in trees to protest the construction of our stadium.

<p>Your statistics are:

1. including all departments which:
   a) comprises very little of EECS courses
   b) includes all the fluff majors and easy humanities classes that comprise a (perhaps not-so) surprisingly large number of total courses at Cal. Your last quote was for “the humanities and social sciences…”</p>

<p>And therefore don’t apply to his statement.

</p>

<p>Again, completely wrong. See above. What I said PRECISELY applies to his statement because he never said that he was talking specifically about EECS, and in fact, indicated that he was not restricting himself in such a fashion. </p>

<p>More importantly, it applies to what the OP asked, which is simply about how hard it is to get a 4.0, without contingency upon major.</p>
