<p>Wow that campusbuddy website is ********.</p>
<p>I looked at 104AL grades and it said there were no C minuses, that in 102A everyone got Bs or higher.</p>
<p>HAHAHAHAHA</p>
<p>If only Drake was so nice.</p>
<p>i found it pretty much useless too</p>
<p>What is it run by? Students?</p>
<p>no idea but I know what my friends got in those classes.</p>
<p>someone invited me on fb. but it's all fake :(</p>
<p>I don't know, but the average GPAs seem accurate (or somewhat plausible) to me. As for engineering, I don't think the rumored average GPA is 2.8. I think that's too low.</p>
<p>It may be lower for EE, but I think that the average GPA for engineering is between 3.0-3.125. You have to not try to get something lower than 3, in my opinion.</p>
<p>Supposedly you can check grades on courses offered the past two years thru URSA.</p>
<p>really, how?</p>
<p>
Whoa!!! I was expected you to say that 2.8 was HIGHER than what it really is! So then, not all engineering courses (or not upper division ones, at least) are curved?
(I’m an incoming freshman in civil eng.)</p>
<p>@uclacee I believe you mean to say they are curved, thus saving you from a fate of 40% grades.</p>
<p>I believe grades earned in UCLA Engineering (with exception of ChE) are more lenient than some other schools (Purdue, GT, etc.) At those locations, I think it is more reasonable to see a 2.6-2.8 average.</p>
<p>do you need to pay to look at grade distributions now? doesn’t that seem unethical, i mean grade reports should be open to all, not just a select few, unfair advantage</p>
<p>grade distribution can be seen on MyUcla if the professor posts the grades on there. For EE, we have eeweb where they show us the grade distribution and our class rank as the quarter progresses. Some people find it depressing to look at. A constant reminder of how badly you’re doing…</p>
<p>for a minute, i thought moldau was back :(</p>
<p>ugh, we got to stop reviving old threads like this … too confusing. But at least you searched, haha…
Anyways, campus buddy is run and reviewed by students. Similar to the grade distributions you see on bruinwalk.
Like what GrassBandit said, you can check grade distributions on MyUcla IF the professor chooses to post them. Some professors also post grade distributions for the previous quarters on their course websites. I sometime use Student Dude ([UCLA</a> - University of California, Los Angeles - Rate Professors and review teachers - Studentdude.com](<a href=“http://www.studentdude.com/dep.php?university=9]UCLA”>http://www.studentdude.com/dep.php?university=9)) too, they show the average GPA and grade distributions for each class, but they too are somewhat unreliable.</p>
<p>thanks! But curving means that a certain proportion are given failing grades, right?</p>
<p>IIRC some professors that curve have a minimum pass mark meaning that as long you get over some percentage you will not fail.</p>
<p>Speaking of curves, do any professors…curve down? By some miracle everyone else fails and you get a 100, statistically speaking the bell curve would work against you.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No. Curving means that grade cutoffs will be set by the professor depending on class performance and if she or he is a kunt. A professor can decide not to give any A’s or can decide to pass the whole class with at least a C-.</p>
<p>Some professors are forced to some grade distribution by the department. Others are just to powerful to care what the department says.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I only know of one professor that did that so that’s uncommon.</p>
<p>i think felker down curves even though he writes ridiculously hard exams. scerri hands out a good amount of A’s so if you dont keep up with the curve you could get a B or C very easily.</p>
<p>Why would that work against you, Gotlactose?</p>
