<p>I know this is CC but I have to ask..have any of you failed a engineering test or a class? I guess I should start. I got a D on my first electromagnetics test but I still working hard to get a B in the class.</p>
<p>Never failed a course, but I have failed a few exams. One of them was an electromagnetics test. Don't you hate that class? :)
I ended up with an A after a nice curve though.</p>
<p>Another one was a biology course requirement. I didn't go to class much for it so I walk into class one day and I see everyone working on something. The TA comes up to me and hands me an exam... I ended up with a 28 on that beast. :) It's nice looking back at these things, thanks for making this thread.</p>
<p>I think everyone in this thread has atleast failed a test haha. Lets see...I've gotten a 50 on a chem test (still pulled a 73% B though haha i hate chem), a 60 on a linear algebra test...umm, that's about it so far though. Never in my life have a failed a course since 4th grade when I got a D in spelling one quarter =P</p>
<p>I did get a 30% on a Heat Transfer test. Ended up with a B in the class.</p>
<p>I did get a 47% on a Dynamics final. Got a C+ in the class.</p>
<p>Failed a hum class. They didn't like my portfolio...</p>
<p>Failed a few tests.</p>
<p>Perhaps didn't like non-complete sentences.</p>
<p>Never failed a class. Failed tests before.</p>
<p>30s on all of my Calc 3 exams, 60s on the final (passed with a C+, half of the class failed)
43 on the 1st Statics test (92 on the final, 2nd highest in class. Got a B for the class)
45 on the 1st Thermo test (90 on the final. One of the only few A's in the class)</p>
<p>Never failed another test after Thermo :)</p>
<p>These are the exams I failed that I still remember:
CS101 51 on final, B- for the class grade
Physics E&M 49 on final, B for class grade
Signal Processing 40 on midterm, can't take this crap anymore, dropped this class
Engr Math2 56 on midterm, B for class grade</p>
<p>I got a 59 on a thermodynamics exam, 68 with a curve. I ended up with a B+ in the class. I failed classes in high school, but not in college.</p>
<p>Do most colleges do a curve? And is it like the regular curve... the highest percentage in the class curves up to a 100% and rest move up accordingly?</p>
<p>I failed a class once--Organic chemistry. It really kills your GPA forever, so always withdraw if you're in real danger of failing a class.</p>
<p>CS173 Discrete Mathematics - 26% on Midterm 2, LOL
I managed to get a B+ though (did well on first and final exam, and moderately high curve)</p>
<p>Got a 46 on the first E&M test. Average was a 62. Prolly gonna end up with a B or so in that class if I study.</p>
<p>I think I got 50 something on the physical chem midterm once. Luckily the curve was pretty crazy though :p</p>
<p>At my school, the curve is entirely up to the instructor of the class. Some of my instructors have had huge curves, and some none at all.</p>
<p>at my school sometimes in my EE classes 80+% of the class gets a F. so have I failed a course yes I have. such as the EM course the average for a C was a 33%.</p>
<p>LlamaNade77 what @ which school does 80+% of a class get an F exactly? You're telling me that 80% of the class has a real live "F" on their transcript?</p>
<p>I just found out that I got 41 my 1st midterm on analog circuit. I am so glad, I thought I would get something between 25 to 35.</p>
<p>In most engineering classes, the class average on tests is below 60% anyways. So I consider failing a test as getting at least 15% below average.</p>
<p>I haven't failed a class yet, but I fail at least one test a quarter... 13% on my electronics midterm (average was 35%)... whoo...</p>
<p>everyone's failed a test in their entire life. Especially in engineering, but there's no really cutoff for tests in engineering because you could pass it with a 10% with the curve.</p>
