1st Semester Grades

I really think the world should go back to a system where you start taking specialized courses much earlier, or you have an apprenticeship system. Like have school the way it's done now till 9th grade, then you choose your specialty and then you begin learning based on that.

 

We have a numbered grade system over here.
Basically the grading scale is 0 to 20, with 20 being the highest and almost impossible to get and 10 being the average. Actually, getting over 15/16 is pretty rare in most cases (Especially in Uni). Anything over 15 is the equivalent of an A I guess, although it is difficult to translate the French grading system into the American system.
Getting a grade below 10 is considered as a fail, and you pretty much can't pass the class/year with a global average that is under 10.

 

college classes = i must do well or else.
biology 101: A, highest grade in the class *-*
math 115: A
sociology 101: A
psychology 210: A
english 101: A

 

Good for you. Do you find college hard? Have you decided on a major yet? Psychology is a very competitive field.

 

good job!! we are so happy for you!!

Spoiler

now smile for the picture so we can put it on the wall of fame!!!!!!(aka fridge)

 

My Grades

How do people not got 100's in gym that is the dumbest class ever?

Gym- 100
Active Physics- I think a 78
Literature for College- 91
Auto Body- Below an 85(There's a difference in Street Racing body work and actual body work? Errr my dude they are still cars, just more expensive parts. I can't believe that even happened to me. How?)

Makaze what are your school grade ranges btw. I see you talking about other people so just wondering what your's is?

I'm in NY so mine(Well my school anyways)
90-94= -A
95-97= A
98-100= A+

80-84= -B
85-87= B
88-89= B+

70-74= -C
75-77= C
78-79= C+

Anything below a 65 is failing

 

What do you mean by ranges? My grades or how many points are needed for an A? For the latter, this is what I was judged against:

90-100 A
80-89 B
70-79 C
60-69 D
0-59 F

Not sure what you wanted, but I am graduated by now. Does that answer your question?

 

It is the dumbest class ever

That's what I stopped showing up c:

 

Lol, what?

 

thanks :> honestly, not really since i study a lot. currently i'm taking harder classes than last semester but i've found that as long as i study it's alright. i'm majoring in nursing and took psych as a prereq even though i like it a lot.

 

Glad to hear it.

You have to take psychology for nursing? Whatever for?

 

Thank you Makaze I understand now... Wait your done with the Big C as well... NICE

Misty Does have a good point too... Lol damn so I guess... Wow so ummm I'ma just go sit in the ice box where my heart used to be cause you torched my ass ^=^ DX

 

you have to know people will act/react in various aspects of life, etc.

 

I do not. I meant that those were the percentages needed for each grade. Is that what you wanted?

You will not get that with general psychology courses, would you? How far does it go?

 

I never understood how it's possible to get an F... I thought I was failing one of my classes, and it turned out to be a B.

Also, just to be even more of a ******, Spring semester 2011, I was on the Deans list due to straight A's and thus got invited to an honors society last semester to a honors society, and due to having good grades last semester, I once again got invited to another honors society.

Good grades, fk yeah. [And it's standard US Uni. Grading system]

 

It depends on a teacher. I got a 10 (or a A) by just showing up and showing some enthusiasm (and having your equipment) from one teacher. Then there was another who outright said that to get a A in her class, you practically had to be Finnish Championship level in track and fields at the very least, and above average talent in everything else (soccer, basketball, baseball, swimming, etc.) And while I like to try my hardest, I just am not a very athletic person, so I ended up getting a 7 (C I think?) in her class.

I didn't either... And then I started taking Swedish >.< Too many languages mixing me up...
