ok so you are saying that the assignment was worth a large percentage of your grade. Whats the problem?

umm if all of your other grades were 60%s thenit wouldnt be to hard to fail

you should stop gaming and masturbating so much, and study more.

If you use firefox, type in the word failure (nothing else) and click GO.

Even funnier is arsehole (but spell it right) 😉

my lowest assignment before this was 70

some professors use the sliding grade things
where no matter where you are if you're bottom 50% of the class you fail top 50% you pass, so maybe even with 79 78 77 45 in the class you could be in the bottom half and fail if the other half did considerably better. likewise you can still get an A with a 56% avg if the rest of the class did considerably worse.

maybe, I dunno how you get graded though???

not unusual if the assignment was your final project
