so if you has a 70, you can opt outta the final and take whatever your average is for the rest of the course.

i have a 69.2. and he's making me take it, knowing good and well that it will probably drop my grade. f me.

4/22/2009 4:50:08 PM

calling someone a cockass because he's following a policy he's laid out ahead of time?

You're the cockass.

4/22/2009 4:51:23 PM

I can has 70

4/22/2009 4:51:30 PM

You could try studying?

4/22/2009 4:52:37 PM

You're the cockass.

4/22/2009 4:52:41 PM

i mean its ncsudude, what did you expect?

4/22/2009 4:54:46 PM

yeah, fuck that guy.

its completely ridiculous for him to expect you to know 70% of the material

If you want professors to inflate your grades for no good reason, go to UNC. If you want to earn your grades, stay at NCSU.

4/22/2009 4:55:00 PM

you have a fucking 69 as your overall average?

you deserve to fail the class, he's giving you a chance to not come off as being so stupid

4/22/2009 4:55:06 PM

maybe you should've done some "extra credit"

4/22/2009 4:55:06 PM

oh, like none of you have ever been in a situation not dissimilar to this. i know he's being fair and following the policy. but FUCK!!!! he even said it would wind up being a C anyway.

no one's saying they haven't been in the situation...what we're saying is we're not whining pussies who have the gall to complain about a professor not giving us a free ride when we've got a fucking 69 average

4/22/2009 4:56:55 PM

69.2, thank you

f me.

4/22/2009 5:00:55 PM

^ man up. you earned this. you have no reason to complain, and no reason to direct it at your professor. get over yourself.

4/22/2009 5:03:27 PM

i bet right about now you're thinking that you really should have focused on a few of those homework problems a little bit more before heading out to the bar.


but seriously, just focus and study hard for the final and get a better grade. he is doing you a favor.

4/22/2009 5:04:20 PM

suck a dick. get a degree.

everyone says that, but i assert that if one has a D average, they will fall below the 2.0 required, and thus not graduate. i suppose it means D is passing, but one must limit their Ds in order to stay above a 2.0...

4/22/2009 5:10:00 PM

do yourself a favor

http://www.thewolfweb.com/user_logout.aspx and study

4/22/2009 5:11:55 PM

yeah, but almost every curriculum has SOME easy classes that are easy to score better than a D without trying...take those into consideration and assuming no C-wall courses and an undergraduate degree isn't that hard to obtain (though i suppose it depends...i switched out of engineering pretty early on because it looked like they were going to require me to work for my diploma)

4/22/2009 5:12:24 PM

they do indeed require to to work for it. I'm in ME. its a bitch, but not impossible. there are a few easy courses to cancel out the hard ones, but not many. i've been getting mostly Cs and Bs since being in ME, so i'm happy.

4/22/2009 5:13:48 PM

lol there are worst things that could happen to you, like a bowling instructor falsely accusing you of cheating, and having two options with the same result:

either take the f/u
or go to the judicial board (which is a joke) see paul cousins (neither will do you any favors, both assume you are guilty or responsible (whatever the fuck that means) ) and have them assume the instructor was right...

i mean it's fucking bowling, even if you were cheating y so serious?

^CHE on the other hand, is impossible

4/22/2009 5:24:29 PM

just do what i did. get a sociology degree. I'm currently an engineer.

haha, that's pretty funny/f'ed up.

i hate the humanities professors who assume that their class is the most important thing in your life. i did the worst in my humanities bullshit courses...

4/22/2009 6:15:57 PM

and you're still pulling a 69.2....and whining about it

4/22/2009 6:17:00 PM

the policy says 70, not 69.2. thems the rules you got on the first day.

4/22/2009 6:21:34 PM

agreed. if I had a student in this situation, I'd make him take the final. you've got to draw the line somewhere; you are just unfortunate enough to be really close to that line.

4/22/2009 6:29:55 PM

if it was 69, people with 68.2 would bitch. gotta draw the line somewhere and stick to it.

nope. i actually paid attention in class, worked hard, went to class, and did the work.

4/22/2009 7:01:11 PM

who says i didn't? class average is like a 74.

4/22/2009 7:05:43 PM

so you admit you are below average, but you say it as if you are proud of it

Where the hell did you take your remedial math class? As far as I know, a 69.2 would round down. Then again, if you're a senior in Engineering and you don't know this little factoid, maybe you're too fucking stupid to pass in the first place.

4/22/2009 7:38:02 PM

ATTN: everyone bashing ncsudude

say the same shit when you have a 69.2.

go ahead, i dare you. better believe you'd be bitching too.

THANK YOU, exactly what I was thinking.

Yes, I am like 4 points below the class average. That does not make me stupid or mean I slacked off. I have a 100 homework grade, and most of the time, professors will look at that when deciding where to draw the line. If the grade were a 67, or even 68, then there would be no question that I wouldn't make the cut. But a perfect HW grade should sport me 0.8 points.

I realize some professors do things differently, and some are stricter than others when following the University's grading scale, so I'm not arguing with his methods. I'm just saying that I'm kinda pissed that not even a full point is keeping me from getting the C without taking the final.

Every one of you fuckers that is bashing me knows damn well that if you had a 69.2, or a 79.2, and still got a D+ or C+ with a perfect HW grade, you would be pissed.

thanks for that little tidbit, dumbass. no professor rounds grades DOWN. it always goes UP. hence why i asked about it, given my homework grade. most professors look at that when they go to make decisions such as that.

there are no laws which mandate that

some round them as you would round numbers (which means less than 69.5 becomes 69, in case you didn't know).

some always round up.

tough luck.
