<p>I heard that a lot of students get A's and A-'s when compared to other schools.
Is this true?</p>
<p>Even for the freshman science classes with like 300 kids is the class average still around an A?</p>
<p>That’s quite funny.
From what I’ve heard you work your butt off and you have a shot at an A. The idea that any freshman science class would have an A average is hilarious. The idea that a thing like that could be kept quiet, even more so.
No, Case has a reputation for hard work, not easy A’s.</p>
<p>There are no pluses and minuses at Case. I’m not very good at telling what grades are like but I wouldn’t say a strong majority are necessarily getting A’s. I really hope you’re not counting on your hardest classes to be easy A’s.</p>
<p>^^^
I would consider the credibility of the above poster before relying on any information to be factual. Sometimes students get overly enthusiastic about their college and enhance the truth.

<p>^^^Huh? Not really sure what my above post has anything to do with enhancing the truth.</p>
<p>I have a few friends that go to Case currently and they all say that what you put into the class is what you get. </p>
<p>The sages classes I’ve heard are relatively easy depending on the session/professor you get? Or so i’ve heard.</p>
<p>depends on your major. the average GPA for engineers is somewhere between a 2.5 and 2.75.also depends on the professor. some professor’s are much more difficult, a mean a HUGE difference. at least in my major. hard sciences are harder to do well than in social sciences. but i think that’s the case at most schools. case is known for a tough workload and a fair amount of stress. but it’s really as stressful as you allow it to be. you will, unlike hs, have to work at case. a lot of kids just aren’t used to studying or hard work because hs is a blowoff.</p>
<p>Ooh, my favorite tip on choosing SAGES classes (beside your 1st semester, in which case you don’t have much of a choice): sign up for two because they are so small, making it impossible to get into them more than a week after class registration begin, and then drop the one that is less interesting/more work/whatever other criteria you have. SAGES are kind of hit-or-miss and I figure if I signed up for two, it makes probability of getting a good one much higher. It made the first week of the semester annoying, having to attend an extra class and all, but I got fun and easy SAGE classes out of it.</p>
<p>The thing I’ve found about science/engineering classes here is that when I get a B, I usually deserve it. I can’t say I’ve ever had a class that I didn’t have the capacity to get an A, most B’s have been my fault, as in, I could have gotten an A if I studied harder or earlier or better. Some classes you have to decide whether or not it’s worth killing yourself over, but mostly it’s physically possible to get an A.</p>
