I hate it when teachers use unfavorable grading scales

[TridenT]

Like.. 90-94.9 = A- and >95.0 is A.

I could have had an A if it was graded on the standard 90-93 = A- and >93.0 = A scale.

FML.

Shens. You never got an A in anything, you're a freaking dumbass troll.

Infraction #1 in this thread. I'm in a bad mood tonight; I think banning someone would make me feel better. Anyone in this thread want to volunteer? -Admin DrPizza

I hate that time between when TridenT considers starting a thread and then he actually starts the thread.

that time could be used for much greater pursuits.

% is what really matters

i wouldnt care if an A was 99% but i was getting a B at 98%

My grades say otherwise. :hmm:

I'll have somewhere between a 3.85-3.90 accumulative GPA after grades are out for this term.

I got something around 93.5% for my grade in the class. I should've fought over grading of my assignments more. The grading is really rough and if you talk to her you can usually get it bumped up sometimes.

All well.

Yet you still bitch and moan more than ANYONE in the history of AT. What's the problem then? You're haircut sucks, you can't get a girl, you've got car problems, you've got money problems, then you can't figure out what to spend your money on... jesus christ kid. Nobody fucking cares. You post more worthless shit than the last 5 Super-Trollers that have come before you.

Your GPA is based on your score, not your grade.
A B C D never meant a goddamn thing and it still doesnt.

Uhm ...

GPA is based on grades. :hmm: (e.g. A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B = 3.3, etc.)

The bolded pains me.

So, the problem is that I didn't get an A. I got an A-, and I want A's.

New rule, everytime Trident posts a thread, we have to thread-jack it.


Let's talk about the Colts/Titans game in this thread. Big fantasy football implications for me! I've got Jean Claude Van Tamme going in both my leagues and one of my opponents has CJ2K.

If Van Tamme can outscore CJ2K (ppr) I'll have a quick leg up on my opponent.

Honestly, why do you all hate him so much? Maybe I've missed something, but are his posts really that bad? :hmm:

Isn't this a pretty valid complaint/rant? lol

You are brilliant.

So i don't know much about football. Where do you recommend starting?

Some of us are just a bunch emo hating old men.

Oh... they are that bad. Really, if they weren't all the same and so frequent they wouldn't be bad. But the fact that they are all to common and all to emo-ey... he's just looking for attention. Its plainly obvious. Plus I think he's bi-polar. For real. One minute he's making posts to disguise his bragging. "Oh, I got an A-, not an A, I'm so stupid look at me" The next minute he's posting depressive suicidal shit like "no girls like my hair, I have no money and my car's broken down... Woe is me".

I hate to admit it but Trident's right and you're wrong on this one. Most colleges don't look at percentage for the class at all, they only look at the letter grade the professor reports. The professor can chose how to set up what percent = what letter grade.

To the OP, what does it matter where the grade cutoff is as long as it was known at the start of the class? I had one class where a 50% was an A, but the class average was in the high 30's. Different professors chose to run their classes differently.

Anyways, with the lack of work ethic you show in some of your posts you must either be taking joke classes or going to a terrible school.

You could start with Wikipedia. Or we could just discuss it here. Are there any particular rules you're curious about? How about the history of the NFL. We could talk about the Dallas Cowboys in the '90's. That's when I started watching and fell in love with the Cowboys.


Did you know that Deion Sanders used to tattoo the logo of every team he played for on his ass. (Or maybe it was just the team name, can't remember?)

I just taught my cat to hit F5! Does that make me smart or the cat smart?
