<p>I’ll have to say it came this semester in my Finance class!</p>
<p>On the 1st 2 tests I made a 60 (including a 10 pt curve on the 1st one and a whopping 17 pt curve on the 2nd one), then on the final exam I made a 56!</p>
<p>And somehow I managed to get a C- in that class which was the lowest I could possible get considering its one of my major classes!</p>
<p>So the only possible way that I think I passed was that my professor curved everybody’s grade at least 14 points, since he told the class that if we made a C on the final we would get at least c in the course.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, i’m so relieved that I do not have to take finance again!!</p>
<p>by pass fail?
had a bs writing teacher so i just designated the class as p/f and did stuff like turn in 2 pages for the 7 page final paper and sk8d out with a passing grade of 70</p>
<p>nah i mean whats the craziest way you passed a class with the lowest grade possible. i.e. major classes would be a c- and all others would be a low D</p>
<p>Definitely one of my classes this semester.
Graduate level engineering class (I’m a junior).</p>
<p>55 on Test 1.
70 on Test 2.
50 on Test 3 (the “final”).
97 on homework.</p>
<p>All four weighted equally. So a 68 in the class. He never once told us what the grading scale was going to be (he only gave us the averages/distributions for the exams).</p>
<p>It was my history class my sophomore year in college (ill be a senior in the fall)</p>
<p>we only had 3 grades which were 3 tests. 1st test I made a 50 on and 2nd test i made a 30. Doing the math, I had to get a 100 on the final which I kno i didnt get!</p>
<p>I’m guessing the teacher passed me because I passed the final that was cumulative. Also by me talking to her after class after I failed the 2nd test might have helped since I showed concern.</p>
<p>Nonetheless I got a D in that class which meant I passed since it wasnt a major course just a course everyone had to take.</p>
<p>Test 1: 20% (I am not kidding)
Test 2: 97% (I don’t know what the **** happened lol)
Final: 53% (At that point, I just didn’t care)</p>
<p>I don’t know what happened, but I averaged out 70% in the course. It was Physical and Organic Chem. I honestly failed the O-chem part and raelly didn’t deserve 70% lol</p>
<p>It was this 1 credit elective class which was supposed to be really easy but ended up being harder than I thought.</p>
<p>56%- 1st quiz
68.5%-2nd quiz
100%-3rd quiz (I actually studied for that quiz)
70%-final exam
100% on the project and attendence</p>
<p>I got a A in that class but that was becuase of the curve and the 20 point extra credit.</p>
<p>Another was my intro the chemistry class online</p>
<p>73.2%- 1st exam
9.1%-2nd exam (seriously)
21.2%-3rd exam
81% on the assignments and 79% on the mastery assignment</p>
<p>Needless to said that I somehow got a B in the class because of the curve (69% is a B) and he added 40 points to the final grade because it was an online course :D</p>
<p>I think one of my professors this semester got bored and decided to give everyone A’s on the final, because my final course grade was mathematically impossible.</p>
<p>My Intro to Computer Programming (for engineers). I loath programming with a passion. Took it my freshman year and dropped it due to not understanding/caring/bad teacher. Took it again my sophomore year.</p>
<p>Homwork: Average: C
Test 1: 65
Test 2: 55</p>
<p>At this point i thought that I was surely going to fail and it was passed drop period. We had this final project which I thought was going to just be the death of me. We were allowed to have partners but mine didnt seem to care enough to communicate. Then my prof made the announcement in class that if everyone (all 130 of us) were to come together with a single project, he would give everyone an A on it and an A on the final. needless to say I did that and narrowly escaped the class with a D. I was so happy :). never have to retake that class again (unless i feel it necessary)</p>
<p>I got a D on the two midterms. Professor said that whoever gets the highest grade on the final automatically gets an A in the class. Studied like crazy and got the highest grade :)</p>
<p>I had an F (55.4%) the entire semester of Calculus. I studied crazy hard for the Final, which, according to the syllabus, would replace my lowest-scoring exam if the percentage was higher. </p>
<p>I got a 80% on the final, and that was enough to boost my grade up from an F to a C (73.1%).</p>
<p>Micro econ class for my econ major, class based off of 3 tests and 6 100 point homework assignments. Got a 50 on the first test, missed 3 of 6 homework assignments worth 100 points each. 4 weeks left in the semester, my grade is a 56%. I go into her office hours and she basically tells me I’m screwed and the only way I can maybe pass is if I ace the last two tests…and since I bombed the first one that’s unlikely.</p>
<p>Go in the next day, take her 2nd test and get 100%. Grade jumps up to a C+. 3 weeks later, I take the final, 100%. Pass the class with an A. </p>
<p>What was that ma’am? Oh yeah, don’t you know who I am?</p>
<p>I really wish my professors would use some of these curves you’re all describing, or at least offer any one of these absurd opportunities for redemption.</p>
No you don’t. It sucks when the curve has to be that big, and you don’t know it until the end of the semester. It’s a major downer when you think you’re doing so incredibly poorly (but hovering around the average that everyone else is at).</p>
<p>Social psychology this semester. We had 13 papers valued at 100 points each for a possible total of 1300 points. I didn’t even do five of the papers and got 75s on two others. So that’s 750 points divided by a possible total of 1300 for an average of 58, being an F. I somehow got an A…</p>
