I remember the average for a physics test i took in college was a 25% once. I scored 53% of course. It was a class of like 200 people too. The guy was like barely able to control his laughter when he announced it. This is the same guy who randomly regrades the ENTIRE test and then lowers the score if you turn it in for a regrade.


Seriously, professors should be required to pass a certain number of people. Some of these professors think they're gods or something and think it's funny when they give students F's. I had this other Organic Chem professor who bragged about how he never saw a student in his class get an A before. He said this the first day too. Maybe he wants a congratulations?

No. 60% of your class is apparently too stupid to get help or study.

I would disagree with this.

Routinely my class averages are sub 50% and are EXTREMELY bell curved.

I think profs make exams way to hard, but thats my opinion.

Apparently, the English classes are a breeze. It should be TOO hard and not "to hard" Mr. Sengara.

In my STA 131C course here, the prof failed over half the class, 60% of the class got a D or an F, the average on the final was a 30%. How is this fair, doesn't he legally have to curve the class to a B- or C+.

Get your arse back to Taco Bell so we can order our food sans tomatoes and cause your paycheque to get docked.

Lol, 247 Grasshopper points for that.
 
he doesnt have to curve the class up. If you (plural) aren't learning the material, then you shouldnt pass until you do. Real world problems are harder than even the very tough professor's problems which tend to actually be consulting problems. If you cannot solve typical consulting problems, then your degree is pretty useless...

The hell? Seriously, where do you come up with this crap?

3 is countless. Also, 1 is countless.

THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO POWER TO ORDER A FOOD RECALL. NONE WHAT SO EVER

aaaaaaaaaaaaahahahhahaha


so none of you studied and that's not fair???

I had a class once, on the 2nd exam, me and TWO other people passed. 3 total. out of a class of 32. High grade was an 84, I got a 79, someone else got a 79.
 
That is a hard class (at UCD)....I remember acing the 1st exam, doing better than average on the 2nd and screwing on the final 🙁 (I think that the average for our final was also in the low 30s)

Still did better than 75% of the class (I think got a B+ or something). Who was your Prof ? Next time, check professor ratings before signing up for any class....

Well, it is one of the hardest Math classes at UCD...so be happy you passed it (unless you are in the half that failed 🙁 )
 
Some teachers don't give a ******.

One of my teachers would assign 20+ questions for homework but only grade 3 problems. The 3 problems she choose were the ones that were wrong/not completed so I get 2 out of 10.

She was a bitch.

Some teachers don't give a damn. I guess they don't have to since they are part of the teachers union.

Haha, that's pretty funny in an evil kind of way.
 
Did anyone in the class get an honest A on the test? If so you are just being a whiny bitch. If even one person in the class gets an A the test was not too hard but rather many of the students weren't too bright.

A lot of profs and some of us grad TAs here have observed that the good students are as good as ever and the bad ones are just as bad as ever. It's the a quality of the average student that's taken a dive.

That's an excellent observation. The quality of the new employees we've hired over the last 5 years bear that out.
 
I'm pretty sure very few people failed and u happened to be one of them ... and u're crying over here, seeking e-pity thru ur e-liez

There's no such thing as an exam that's too hard as long as it covers the course material. Kids expect tests to be too easy. You're not in high school anymore.

Sure you can make an essay too hard.

On my last pols exam there were 4 essays with no way for the kids to finish writing for all of the topics in time.

We're not talking about just math here, if it was math I understand what your saying.

But it's not quite that simple.

You're just dumb, face it.

I've dropped classes like that. When my macro economics professor said "2 of you will get an A, and I highly doubt more than 3 of you will get a B" I said screw that and dropped the class. When the professor has a preconceived notion of how many will pass and fail, you know the grading is going to be retarded.

qfft. Get rid of teacher union nonsense, get rid of stupid teachers, and poor grades. Make teachers work for a living.
I am so sick of their ******.

That has got to be the most stupid thing I have ever heard.


no, only a few dyas ago he said that "3 is countless, also 1 is countless" (referring to deaths), and that the government has no legal precident, let alone ability to issue a food recall...or something to that effect.

It should be obvious why he is failing his college courses.

Too much time cramming big macs into that corpulent gullet of his, not enough time at the books
