You can’t compare workloads in HS and college. Want to know what my breakdown was for one of my classes?

10% homework
10% oral presentation
30% midterm
50% final term paper

Yeah, my final was half of my overall grade. 20-30 page paper that had to cite HALF of every single thing we read in class.

No “extra credit”. No busywork. No “participation”. A lot of times, some classes are also curved. I’m just saying, while 90% may seem easy to you now, it takes on a different meaning at the college level. No correlation.
