<p>Okay, so I just had my first midterm and I totally epic failed the damn thing - 39 w/ median at 68. YES, thats right a ****in 39. I don't understand how it happened considering I was doing well on all the hw/quizzes/practice problems/sample midterms/etc...</p>

<p>Anyways, is anyone familiar with his grading. I just want to pull a b. I am an econ/international studies major so I only need 31a an 31 b and am more than content with a c. According to bruinwalk, he rarley gives lower than a c, was anyone in a similar situation?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I’m also wondering about this. What is the standard deviation for this test? Did anyone ask?</p>

<p>Also, with that in mind, what score is required to get the full 20% of this test counted toward the final grade?</p>

<p>^^^ did you do really well?</p>

<p>Score of around the 80s</p>

<p>Is there only 1 midterm? If there are 2 midterms, try to get a higher score on the next midterm. If you do this and ace the final, the professor will usually take that improvement into consideration.</p>

<p>I don’t have any experience with Math 31A/31B because I started with 32A my 1st quarter but I got an A- (Chase) for Math 32A even though I did horrible on 1st midterm, decent on 2nd, and pretty well on the final.</p>
