<p>has anyone who has taken nitsche for CHEM 1A know of of how much they lower the ranges to get an A at the end...right now it is an 850/1000 for an A-, how much will it be lowered later?</p>
<p>also, how hard is the third and final midterm (thermodynamics) compared to the first two...in your case, did it increase or decrease your midterm average?</p>
<p>comments greatly appreciated. thanks guys</p>
<p>850/1000? whered you get that statistic? i think people that get A’s in nitsche are about 30-40% , but i could be wrong</p>
<p>were you in the class before?</p>
<p>more like 15% A, 20% B, 40% C, 25% D+F. GPA of lower div science/engineering classes are around 2.3~2.5 at Berkeley.</p>
<p>^
it’s not thattt low i dont think</p>
<p>it’s extremely easy to get an A in that class, especially with all the extra credit. i think it says something if you don’t.</p>
<p>chem 1a fall was killer</p>
<p>i think nietsche is probably the only professor on campus who gives extra credit just for showing up to class lol</p>
<p>dang so lucky.</p>
<p>so should we wait for spring to take nitsche? haha i was planning to take chem 1a in fall with stacy</p>
<p>Same here. I feel like all the bad teachers are in the fall like power for bio 1b and stacy for chem 1a… is stacy really that bad tho ? people seemed to say she was ok.</p>
<p>she was nice… and all…but the tests were just ridiculous. based on crap</p>
<p>Yeah, definitely take Chem 1A Spring, if you can get away with it.</p>
<p>ugh i dunno what to take during the fall then… physics ? ehh arent the spring physics teacher better too -_-</p>
<p>-_-! i feel you calbearth, i was waiting for a better bio 1b teacher in spring and a better math 16a / b teacher too hahaha looks like i just gotta suck it up</p>
<p>thanks LH: whoa…an 890 is an A-?? man,i thought anything above 870 would be considered a solid A…out of curiosity, if you dont mind sharing what was your average of the three midterms so that you managed to pull off an A-?</p>
<p>hmm gg nitsche >stacy</p>
