[PepePeru]

managerial accounting.

changed majors the semester after.

 

[pyonir]

I got 27 out of 50 on a Earth Science midterm. I got an A in the class.

Got an A on that test...it helps to have a curve and have a class with a bunch of football and hockey players. :thumbsup:

wow, i have to take that class next semester. =\

 

[djheater]

76% on a stats exam.
Am currently taking the class, just took a test last night and am NOT happy with it... I'll be happy with a C. I'll take a B in the class.

There's a reason I'm a psych major, it's not my math skills.

 

[Leros]

41 on a differential equations exam. With the curve, that put me into the high B range for that exam.

you're required to take math beyond college algebra to be a psych major?

 

[Mojoed]

85 iirc

IIRC... 23% on a Physics exam, followed by a 25% on the next exam... went to talk to the professor about dropping, since he had to sign the paper anyway... and I found out I was getting a B in the class.

 

[zinfamous]

~ 27 out of 100.

got a B- in the class. Professor was a POS. had to curve everyone up by about 40 points, b/c he preferred not to teach.

 

[WombRaider]

i hope my econ teacher puts a big curve on the test i just took. i don't think i got higher than a 50%.

 

[purbeast0]

39% on my final for CS250.

It was actually a B for the exam because a 29% was the average which was a C LOL.

I ended up with a B in that course.

 

[SsupernovaE]

10% in Western civilization. Teacher gave us the wrong exam but insisted it was the right one and that we take it.

 

[ultimatebob]

I got a 27% on an Accounting test once... ended up with a C.

 

[Jschmuck2]

54% on the first midterm in an Entomology class.

I drew a football play to explain ::Something:: that had to do with mitosis. Needless to say, the professor did not find it very amusing.

It was a double reverse, if I recall correctly.

Anyhow, ended up scraping out a C in that class.

 

[Balt]

Got a C in a Russian history class. There were only two grades the entire semester (both exams). Ended up with a B+ in the class.

A paired down statistics course called "Statistcs for behavioral science" is the ONLY math class I'll need to take to get a BA in psych.
Grad scholl will be more heavy, but that's a couple years away

To be honest I definately think it's an important part of the program. You need to be able to actually analyze and criticize the statistics presented in journal articles.

 

[mikej007]

My friend got a 12 in French.

For the whole year.

Yeah, he's dumb.

 

[Drakkon]

I had a physics 3 test which was intentionally difficult (1 hr class, 100 questions, most word problems where you had to work out an equation) that i got a 25% on.
A few days go by and finally the prof decided he would need to curve the test as the high score was only a 40%.
I ended up with a C in the class.

 

[Fern]

I got a 54% on a test in accounting (final Auditing class).

I was shocked.

But later during class I found out that was the higherst score and that the test was graded on a curve. So I got a A after the curve was applied

[Pugnax]

Diff eq: 33/100; ended up with a C+

 

[Epic Fail]

0

was asleep.

 

[SociallyChallenged]

Got a 68 or something on a test and flipped out. Turns out it curved to a B. Ended up getting an A- in the class. I've had friends get 45s and get As on tests. Sometimes, math professors just don't know how to teach :X

 

[Xavier434]

12% on a quarterly exam in Analysis of Functions and Algorithms.

I ended up passing with an B+ because the professor (more like a crap TA) was so bad that he knew he had to curve everyone's grade heavily if he wanted to keep his job. I think the final curve ended up bumping the whole class up about 70 something percent. Insane.

 

[goog40]

Second quarter of college I got a 29/100 on a midterm for an Anthro class about music of the world (which was really 19/100 before he bumped everyone's score up 10 points for doing so badly). The midterm was supposed to be worth 50% of the grade, but I ended up acing the final and he threw out my midterm score so I really dodged a bullet there.
