Wow. 20% for As. Wish we had that luxury here in America x.x

Anyways, congratulations on kicking ass on your exams! Keep up the good work!

That mught not be a luxury. I mean, I've had As in France with 12/20, and I remember an undergrad "exam" where the average grade was something ridiculous like 6/45, so the best mark was something like 13... I can tell you the guy was pretty good at physics^^

Only 1/6 done here; finishing on the 18th.

I didn't get my grade yet but easy exam for the first one; definitely getting an A in that class (or A+ if the teacher feels like giving me an extra point or two). It was some second year chemistry lab, easy stuff. Also going to be getting A+ or A in my biochemistry lab which is a bit more advanced (4th year class) unless I do terrible on the last exam.

I'm a bit disappointed in my results this semester in other classes. Going to be getting B or B+ in Physical chemistry (assuming I don't botch the final exam) which is pretty sad. Similar result in Analytical chemistry. Probably going to be getting A- in my metabolism class (it's easy as hell but so boring that I studied like 3-4 hours per exam and even then I had to force myself to study it... it's just basic metabolism which everyone has already learned in other classes before). Really should be getting an A or A+ in that class.

Rant about how much I hate my programming class in here :
+ Show Spoiler +

But the real terrible class is my programming class. I had to take some random class from a list (10 credits to do in extra stuff) and this, out of like 60 choices, was the only class that fit in my schedule. In 7 years at university, he is the worst teacher I've ever had. No class notes, barely any explanations, extremely hard homework that's worth 15% of our grade. We even have a practice lab class each week but instead of using it to help us practice, he just talks the entire time and makes us copy some random shit he does. Fucking ridiculous.

At this point, I'm just hoping to pass the class. The final exam is worth 50% and I need to do around 55% on it to pass I think. Hard to know because he doesn't give us our fucking grades on anything. All our homework, he just give it back with no grades. Went to see him for my grades, got like 90% on each of them (had help over skype from my brother who's a programmer) and he couldn't even tell me where I lost points because he just randomly assigns a grade to people pretty much. I really really hope I pass.

Last homework we didn't get our grade at all. There were 2 other exams, didn't get the grade for the second one yet either (did 75 on the first one, which I admit is terrible because it wasn't even hard; could've done 100% on that on a better day without studying more). I think I did a similar grade on the second one. It was basically giving us code on a computer, telling us to find 3 errors in it (27 pts per problem x3, so I assume 9 pts per error). I found 3 errors on 1 problem and 2 on the others (well, 3 but I couldn't fix 1 on each other problem so I just pointed out that I didn't know how to fix them at least). A 4th problem was writing our own code which was easy at least. On the other hand, it sounds ridiculous to me for him to give the same point for each error because some were a missing , or ; which the computer points out anyway... but I sure hope he does.

The only thing I can say is that he's at least generous with points and the exams so far haven't been too hard compared to homework. Still, he's just doing that to make up for being awful at teaching.


Overall, that fucking programming class is going to drop my average by about 2 points by itself. Really wish I never had to take that fucking class.

Edit: wish we had your grade scale 94-100 is an A


At my university scales vary between classes. I had a class where the A+ was 98, and it was fairly easy to achieve, but others where A+ was 90 and it was very tough to get.

The passing grade varies from 55 to 60 as well in some classes.

I got my last Exam on Monday, it's History and it's gonna be freaking hard, doing way worse than last year. Here in Germany we need 87+% For an A (13-15 Points) and I haven't got all my results yet . Great you are doing so good on your finals.

You crazy Australians and your grading systems. 6.00? I wouldn't mind that, considering 4.3 = A+ here

Yeah I'm not really sure why I took them. For the most part, they were the only electives that fit in to my messed up timetable due to doing 8 months of co-op T_T

and I don't even plan on getting my CCNA/CCNP lol

Anyways, congratulations on kicking ass on your exams! Keep up the good work!

You guys realise that exactly the same percentage of students earn A's right? :p In South Africa, A is 75+ with 70-74 being A-. Our exams tend to be harder so getting 90% is pretty much unheard of, and there's no mark adjustment either. For example, in South Africa, the top 10% of students in any course can continue studying for an additional year to complete an "honours" degree. In my class of 75 honours students (at one of the top universities), the highest overall mark was 84.5% with the class average at around 60-65%.

Point is, the system is designed so that the same percentage of students get As and Bs for all systems. Perhaps the only advantage of having a system where 75% is an A is that there is less of a "ceiling effect" so you can stand out from other students with A's by getting high 80s or 90s.

Hey grats man. I always hate waiting to see grades on finals, but now that I graduated it's always great to see people doing so well (I didn't do so well. I blame my degree, EE =P)

I don't know if you've done the other two yet, but good luck!

It's not really hard overall to be honest. There's just a lot of relatively stupid and lazy people in university and they want to keep them. If you fail everyone that doesn't work hard, you'll only have a few students in each classes.

Thank god too, cause I'm lazy (not that stupid though!).
