I spent two hours yesterday working on a spreadsheet to calc all my averages to work out... I'm fucked.
justahumanonline
This was me this semester, as I'm pretty sure I came THIS close to failing one class, while passing all others with flying colors.
DragonMaster311
this is so my life :(
somegoodusernames
I need a 7% on one of my finals to get a b, don't ask me how but the teacher informed me I could skip final and still pass.
aksteelers907
I need a 6% on my mechanics of materials test to pass the class
misteroldschool

When you realize you have to get a third job because your retired husband's car just died.

Just found out I failed my history class. I mean I JUST found out from this post..

Prof lets us think we're going to fail all semester only to change grades last second... Went from D- to B...
ishouldchangethis
why didnt u do work during the semester?
RightInThePleb
How do you know he didn't?
ishouldchangethis
if he did, he didnt do too well
HiddenChicken
I remember when the avg grade of my stats class was so bad, the professor lowered the letter grade value. So 60s-C, 70s-B, 80s-A, 90s+- S
acbeggs
Lol that's nothing. In one of my micro classes a 40% would guarantee a B
boopityboopboop
As a college teacher, so many students arequick to blame everything but themselves. There are plenty of solutions. Up to them to think of it
Ergand
I had a Geology professor in college that always put enough bonus points on the final that anyone could pass. Someone got a 1400% one year.
fatbottomgirlsmaketheworldgoround
i work with geologists, thats totally normal
theholliellama
I'm not even taking one of my finals because I managed to fuck the class up so bad...it wasn't for lack of trying either.
thecolonels
Had to get a 90 on my quantum mechanics final to keep a 3.0. Got 95 *pew pew* *eigemfunctions*
OriginalNameDoNotSteal
you only got a 95 because you observed it. Ruined the possibility on a perfect score.
Alistairetheblu
Write down all the answers twice.
WhatYouMeanItAintReal
I have a few classes in the future that the grade distribution is nearly 80% C's for all the teachers who teach them. You're not alone OP
l3K201
Yeah a C is not a decent grade haha actually considering I'm engineering getting anything below a B is not okay if I want a job after grad
WhatYouMeanItAintReal
Agreed. I have to ace all my other classes to make up for what could potentially be C's in a few. Can't finish below a 3.0 or it's a waste

I guess I should justify decent to me is a B in a pretty competitive major ....

So what does 100% get you? A D?

What major?

I got appendicitis 10 days ago. Finals are next week. Anesthesia still making me unreasonably tired. I'm not sure how I'm going to be okay.
l3K201
God I bet that's awful I once took an exam with a fever. That was one of the worst testing situations I've ever been in
PowerClean
I took a test with a runny nose and was sniffling the whole time . at one point I feel some trickling down my face and I see blood dripping
PowerClean
On my paper and had to leave .
doihavetobeclever
Oh man. I had a fever once. All I could do was shiver and demand more blankets. You must be good at life.

I mean I was on a ton of cold medicine I was pretty loopy and not there I didn't do well haha

Why is it that every time someone says something about having a bad grade everyone assumes they are lazy? I have a teacher who 1/2
sithprojectmanager
You've never seen engineering. 47% was avg for first test. 59% was avg for second. We're all kicking our butts to study though.
lovethepool
Had a teacher in HS straight up tell me she tried to fail me, but she couldn't because of the law. She could only lower my grade down to a C
GylfieTheOwl
I had a prof that flat-out added between 5 and 10 points to every person's test grade so that the average was a passing grade for each exam.
GylfieTheOwl
If you have to add an entire letter grade to make it look like your students are passing, something is wrong. It was an INTRO class, FYI.
GylfieTheOwl
Of course, her system usually meant I ended up with scores like 108 since I usually scored 95+ on my own, so I suppose I can't gripe much.
Korga
One of my professors makes hard as fuck exams and offers no curve at all. Like wtf the average for our mid term was a 42!
FelixtheWolf
Sounds like many higher level physical science courses in college.

No it's a CS class....discrete structures
GylfieTheOwl
I had a prof that flat-out added between 5 and 10 points to every person's test grade so that the average was a passing grade for each exam.
GylfieTheOwl
But it was an intro bio class and I think she had to have a certain # of students pass or something because she wasn't tenured yet.
bustrpoindextr
I had a teacher who said, "3 people will get A's, I teach 4 classes" I did not get an A.
focklord
They've obviously never taken a Microbiology class. Started with over 100 and ended with maybe 15.
GylfieTheOwl
Basic micro, or advanced micro? That many bio majors shouldn't drop basic micro class. My 60+ class did really well overall. Great prof.
focklord
I'm assuming basic. I took it as a Nursing pre-req. I got a B but most dropped out. I also hooked up with my lab partner. :)
yohoyohoitsapirateslifeforme
one of my professors is the most worthless professor I came across and my grades are bad because he can't teach for the life of him
VBot
Sometimes they are hired for their research.
yohoyohoitsapirateslifeforme
and I hate having to enroll in those classes where the professor is clearly incapable of teaching
HorseMcFucker
I had a teacher that hated me. Game me E in biology, switched teacher, got B+.
DrSC
Same for my SAT and GCSE Welsh. (UK SATs) Kept giving me 4s in coursework, results day she called us up one by one, told the headmaster's
DrSC
daughter & friends that they got 7+ (no such thing). Told me with disgust that I just scraped a 7. GCSE coursework I got Ds & Es. Final mark
DrSC
was a B. Given the coursework counts towards your mark I must have really aced the externally marked exam. English I got A*s in coursework
DrSC
then got a B overall, which shows you my usual performance difference between coursework and exams.
KawaiiPotatoGirl
An E?
PianoMan2112
For places that grade A-E instead of A-D and F (my school did it, made sense, wondered what an F was when I heard it from others)
KawaiiPotatoGirl
OHH. Makes sense.
abcismasta
Told us at the beginning of the semester that half the class was going to fail the first test. We found out later it's because he 2/3
Bysiyan
Was a mercenary who's employers send him to the schools of his targets where he teaches and then kills half of the class as a warning. 3/3
yesyesyoufoundthevegan
I had a prof who's test just didn't make sense. When your students can't pass a test, you know there's something wrong...
abcismasta
Grades like a dick. 3/3
Ergand
Had a couple teachers like that. Ended up losing financial aid because I failed their classes
punner
Most are not in stem fields.
PumparumTheCrow
I had a professor who told us she didn't care if we all fail. Class average at the end of the year was 27%. Fucked my GPA.
APersonWhoUsesImgur
I had a prof who wasn't allowed to teach the class for ten years because the last time he did it, he whittled it down to two people.
APersonWhoUsesImgur
Needless to say I failed. Retool it with a different professor and got an A.
APersonWhoUsesImgur
*re-took
holytoasts
I HAD A TEACHER LIKE THIS TOO. She started the class out with, "more then half of you are going to fail this class." AND DO YOU KNOW WHY?
holytoasts
Because she had half of every class she taught lined up for help after school! I feel like if that's the case then maybe she should change
holytoasts
Something.
Yeahnoibet
If you are actually curious, that's called the "fundamental attribution error" it's actually pretty fascinating
abcismasta
You mean where everyone fails because he said that?
Yeahnoibet
No, when someone attributes a behavior (like doing poorly) to a persons character ( like being lazy) rather than consider the situation
