<p>What is usually an a-/a for a chem 6a class?
Say if the class average on tests is about a 65?</p>
<p>i would say 85-90</p>
<p>aim a little higher than one standard deviation and that guarantees you an A (almost always)</p>
<p>otherwise, 80-85 would be an A, imo…</p>
<p>bleh…this quarter kinda sucks.</p>
<p>goodbye chem6a, goodbye dr. winn, goodbye bio major.</p>
<p>hello…lit major? </p>
<p>yay for living in a box!</p>
<p>sorry for the tangent, by the way.</p>
<p>Being a lit major will be awesome, and is probably what you are more interested in anyhow. :)</p>
<p>thanks for that. =)</p>
<p>I also know I’m going to enjoy it, but can’t help but feel disappointed that I dropped out of a plan I so confidently thought I was going to go through with. </p>
<p>Deep down I know I made the right choice, though. =o)</p>
<p>ugh im the same way…except i havent found anything else so im still in bio
=/</p>
<p>why would failing chem 6a deter you from a biology major?</p>
<p>i got my share of C’s in chem classes and i still held onto my chem major :)</p>
<p>it’s a personal decision that I made after I realized I wasn’t going to do well in the class, but more factors led me to my decision</p>
<p>ah, this thread went in a completely different direction because of my post. sorry!</p>
<p>apple cider, anyone?</p>
<p>aww jv1122 i’m in dr. winn’s class too
the curve was hella huge
a 105/150 was a guaranteed a-</p>
<p>OMG i have an 88.1% in my chem 6b class (professor kummel), whose grading policy is </p>
<p>85-100% => A- to A+
70-84% => B- to B+
etc.</p>
<p>for those of you who have taken lower div chem or might have taken kummel, IS AN 88% AN A? PLEAS4E TELL ME IT IS.!</p>
<p>88 is as high as he’ll make the cutoff. it may drop if the class is especially stupid, but in recent years these freshmen seem to be getting smarter and smarter.</p>
