I got a B :(

[Matthiasa]

Wait teachers actually know math where you are? :O
Okay actually where I went the high school the teachers had to have degrees in what they taught. But in a lot of places that is not really the case.

Seriously though it isn't exactly normal in the US to be teaching a discrete math class in high school, so not sure why that would matter. (Unless a lot of people are applying for the position)

My HS teachers didn't have degrees in their fields at all. They pretty much just had teaching degrees, or some dumb liberal arts degree at most.

My HS was pretty shitty though.

Who cares.

Who cares.

I guess you do, Arnold.

At least enough to post in the thread.

 

[TridenT]

I don't get it.

PS. Google is amazing

Jerk-off is how the university name is pronounced.

I got all A's this term. :twisted:

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I got an A- in jazz appreciation because the professor has an odd scale where a 95 is the cutoff for an A and where each test question is worth one class point. Never had less than an A in a liberal arts/bullshit-filler-class before. The pain.

GJ

I only have three of my six grades back

A, A-, and B so far

Two of the other three should be A's, but the third might be an A-.

 

[SphinxnihpS]

I know it stings, but don't break out in hives just because you're now a 'B' keeper.

I don't think they make a drum set lame enough for your... jokes.

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

cool story bro

 

[BarkingGhostar]

I'm sad...

I got a B (my lowest grade so far) in what must be the easiest class I've taken in college. Even easier than general education courses.....

I know its my fault for not being engaged or caring about the subject matter, but I couldn't get over at just how trivial it was.

The funny thing is, the professor thinks the material is hot shit that is so deep and complex, but it is such simple stuff that I think kids in junior high could do it.

P.S. Yes, I know, grades don't matter blah blah

Still sucks.

In my last semester as an undergraduate a classmate got a non-A on a test for the first time. She broke down and cried in class. Everyone thought she needed help in the mental department. As if one test in all of her classes in her entire undergraduate career would make a hill of beans in her graduate acceptance.

Its hard to pity someone that does better grade-wise than 99% of the students in the major (Physics) at UF. Can you imagine what she might have done had she gotten a B in a whole class!?!

I can imagine it. After studying for a week for an Exam, I only got a B on it. I wanted to break down right there and jump out a window.

Not getting back in results after you spend an insane amount of time into it is ridiculously crappy feeling.

 

[Numenorean]

Sounds like you really aren't as smart as you think you are and the professor was correct about you.

 

[TecHNooB]

It's really the time invested that makes a grade like a B upsetting. If you invested a significant amount of time into a class, went into the finals with a high A, and walked out with a high B, then you pretty much wasted all that time since getting a middle/low B would have required MUCH less hours.

I didn't study...

At all.

The exam was at 8am Tuesday, but I was busy all Monday finishing an essay due at midnight. After midnight, I figured sleep would help me more than studying, and I was right since nothing I studied would have helped.

 

[Oil]

Great idea.

LSU here I come. My home state university, where writing your name on the test gets you an A.

Not true, we had to write our name AND give the professor a beer

C's get degrees

Discrete is a pretty easy math class. Someone getting a C in discrete mathematics: red flag. Someone getting a C in calcI, II, or III? Red flag. They're not good in math - why would you want them as a math teacher?

Most of the math teachers in my HS couldn't do anything past algebra.

Two knew calculus, but still they only had teaching degrees, not math degrees.

I guess that is Louisiana for you.

Worst comeback ever regarding someone saying "who cares".

wow just wow. pretty elitist view on a high school teacher.

So you think of yourself as just below nobel winners?

It is true though.

When I see threads about something I don't care about, I don't go in and say so. I just ignore it and move on.

 

[gorcorps]

One of my pet peeves is people who claim they find something easy, right after discussing how they've managed to fuck it up.

Guess it wasn't so easy huh?

 

[ussfletcher]

Try not just picking the easiest professors on campus.
There's some here that will give students at best a C no matter what.
One of my classes this semester the professor already admitted no one is even going to get an A, and that was in an easy class.

So what is your major?

One of my professors exclaimed that he would "quit teaching" if anyone ever "aced" his tests. No one got higher than 90% in my class of 200.

I'm pretty sure most of my high school teachers could only barely pass calc I let alone calc 2 or 3.

 

[Imp]

35% sucka. And I actually read the material, just totally didn't understand what the hell they wanted. Retook and got B+.

LOL....discrete math at my school was NOT easy. I got a C in it, but I got an A's and B's in every other math class I took.
