Are these grades normal?

[neit]

Take a stats class and then see if it is normal =)

unless you are getting 100%'s in every calc class 1 through diff eq... you do not deserve to graduate

Sounds like orgo chem to me, not calc.

I've never had a class larger than about 30 people.

I received a D- in my Calc class in high school. Got a 5 on the AP test. Don't put too much into your grades.

 

[Albis]

it's about the curve so it doesn't really matter what your actually grade out of a 100% was

QFT.


My Calc I and III professors were tards in that they thought students would learn how to perform well by simply memorizing the word definitions of the various operations and whatnot. Epsilon what? Delta who? Sigma where?!

Calc II was taught by some red-head foreign chick, but her diagrams and explanations for the fundamentals behind all the operations were extremely methodical and well-versed.

Needless to say, I got an A in calc II. And there were no curves

I find out tomorrow whether or not I failed my Calc 2 mid term (20% of my mark). I am almost certain I did.

So, I am supposed to assume sarcasm when there is no emote?

totally not true. hard and easy varies, those who study may still find calculus rather difficult, for the many who refuse to study, probably impossible. depends on more than the teacher.

I know some college instructors who don't teach their class at all, you show up and ask questions, that's about it. Some professors don't even keep track of student attendance, yet alone how well each student is doing along the quater/semester/tri/year/period/etc. Some don't give homework, they just tell you what to study. You just show up and take the exams, you pass, you're square, you fail, means you wasted someone's time and money (including your own).

My old social studies instructor once said:
"you don't got time for the da*n hospital? then don't get sick."

I remember an Engineering class in college where the average score was around a 60% for a particular test. The professor gave the entire class an earful. What a crock.. we normally got decent scores. He failed to even think for a second that maybe he didn't teach that section very well.

I had a similar situation where the whole class did poorly and the prof chewed us out, but the problem wasn't that he didn't teach it well, it was that we didn't expect such a difficult test and didn't study hard enough. Not saying the same was true in your case, but I think many college students are looking to cruise through college without putting much effort into it.

yeah, you have two ways to learn.....you can have everything spoon fed to you or you can learn by getting your a$$ kicked. Most professors prefer the latter.

One of way interpretting the "a$$ kicking" part is that professors themselves are inherently lazy. They are people too. They just get a kick out of being hypocritical.

It's a serious course for serious people. Counting beer bottles and the rippling waves between your fingers does not qualify a student for pre calc.

 

[Cooler]

My HS AP BC calc class had

2As
1Bs
3Cs
1D

We went way beyond the ap exam second semester was all mult variable Calc and liner algebra.
I was one of the As if you missed one day of class you were totaly screwed as we did almost 4 semesters of college in 2 .

and all homework must be submitted in upsidedown handwriting in postfix notation.

I agree with tfinch2. In my calculus class, failure rate for the first exam was ~55-60%. I was one of the ones who messed up the curve though (towards the positive side )
