College people, whats the biggest curve you have ever had in a class

[Corporate Thug]

i got my game theory midterm back today...55% = B+

 

[mugs]

I had a test once where only 4 people out of 32 passed "legitimately." I don't remember what the curve was like though.

 

[Ness]

30 points of a 100 point calc. test. Too bad that was the test that I did one problem on, left, dropped the class, and decided I should take the previous course before attempting that again.

Funny enough, the one problem I did, I did correctly. I got a 38.

 

[Yossarian]

I recall thermodynamics tests where the highest grade was like 42/100, so that was an A.

 

[Orsorum]

Worst I can think of... none that were too egregious. A few that were questionable, 80/100 or so being a 4.0. That's about it.

 

[dr150]

22/100 = B+ 25/100 = A Astrophysics Course

 

[Veramocor]

I remember once a teacher did the square root curve.

Square root of your score times 10. so if you got a 25 you'd get a sq(25)*10 = 50 or a gain of 25 points.

Interestingly you get the most curve points at 25 but lower than that the amount of points you get decreases. Examples: Sq(16)*10 =40 or a gain of 24 points. Sq(1)*10 =10 or a gain of only 9 points.

 

[Kilrsat]

0-15 = D
16 - 25 = C
26 - 35 = B
36+ = A

Calc II midterm.

Yes, if you put your name on it, you passed. Only people that failed were the ones that didn't show up.

Had something like that on a anthro test, I think I ended up getting 62ish/150 and that was a B. Since then I have taken 4 classes by the same teacher to fill my liberal studies requirements

edit: going on 5 once fall semester starts

 

[kaizersose]

i once got a 96% overall in a lab and got a B. it's been almost two years and I am still waiting for an explanation.

 

[dxkj]

Organic chemistry, 65% = A

 

[Jmman]

My Calc III class was pretty brutal. On the two major exams (20% of your grade) the average was around 40%. Some students got less than 20% on both exams. The curve was pretty extreme.....

 

My honors Bio class...45%+ was an A.

 

[Doggiedog]

I had a college physics test where the class average was a 27 out of 100.

That test was stupid hard.

 

[MrDingleDangle]

i had a chem test that the a b-/c+ was somewhere in the 20% range

 

[purbeast0]

lets just say on the final for one of my computer science classes, on the final, a C was a 29 .

and thats out of 100. i got a 39 though so i got like a B. this class was the 'weave out' class to make the peeps that continue to the 300 level courses of computer science a little lower. class was ridiculous though.

 

[bolido2000]

My math structure midterm. 40% was an A

 

[white]

a couple quarters ago the average on a midterm was 98/100.

 

[hdeck]

had a test where 40 = c
had a class where showing up = at least a c as long as you take the tests

 

[axia55]

the last two math tests I have had this quarter the class average has been a little under 60% (failing), and the prof will not curve! I had one of the highest scores with a 74 on the first one.

 

[Strk]

The only classes I've been in where the teacher would grade on a curve were classes I already had As in.

 

[sillymofo]

This one time, I were sitting behind this girl, lemme tell you about a big curve...

 

[PottedMeat]

EE411 - Circuit Theory, Midterm i got a 20/120, came out to a C i think

economic related game theory?

 

[nageov3t]

30 point curve on a Sociological Research final. Average class grade was a 50/100, so he bumped up the average to a B. I ended up with, like, 107/100
