Not doing well in final

<p>if I can't get a C for the course...:( What will happen?</p>

<p>I think if it is your first quarter, you can afford to do bad. However you have to be on your toes for the rest of the year.</p>

<p>Nothing will happen to if you get a C, you will just have the constant reminder of getting a C, just use it as motivation for next quarter and do well.</p>

<p>dude... on my physics final i kept on getting μ=1.73. and trust me, i redid it so many times from the very beginning. i want to die. except, i have another final in 3 hrs.</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>0 <= μ <= 1 is the coefficient of kinetic friction, right? :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Funny, never noticed it till now. μ is also Viscosity, another sorce of "friction" in fluids. </p>

<li>TB54</li>
</ul>

<p>Values of μ vary. μ [=] Pa*s, p (poise)</p>

<p>i screwed up my chem and life science finals :(</p>

<p>it's ok bruinboy...that chem final was tricky kinda...i think a lot of ppl were surprised..</p>

<p>You guys, I got a C- in Hist 140B.
I don't know what happened...
I wrote in the entire freaking Blue Book too, and this is what I got :(</p>

<p>If you get a C- in a course, you still pass, but you have the option of retaking it. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Did you expect to get something along the lines of a C-? Was the material difficult?</p>

<p>namaste, I was expecting at least a B-, but I always have high expectations.</p>

<p>Let me ask you guys, what do you consider to be "C-" work?</p>

<p>what's the retaking policy anyhow?</p>

<p>nikkei325i, did you email the prof about your grade? Ask the prof the consider taking another look at your exam, cause if you were expecting a B- and got a C- (barely passing) there may have been a mistake or misunderstanding.</p>

<p>I looekd it up and a professor named Weiss taught your class. He is rated negatively on bruinwalk. If he graded your papers he must have been impossible</p>

<p>bruinboy, I just emailed the professor today about scheduling a time to discuss my final with him. Hopefully, I will work something out.</p>

<p>I've got a B for an easy class. I'm still waiting for another 2 classes which I worry so much. Exams in my department are getting harder and harder, probably these 2 finals are the most difficult in recent years. All the problems become so conceptual.</p>

<p>Wish me luck, guys.
I am still surprised that I got the grade I did. I thought I did well enough to get into the "B" range. Of course, there is some reason for why I received the grade I did. I just hope the TA just couldn't read my writing since I was trying to put so much of my thoughts down quickly before I forgot since I only slept 2 hours the night before. I am angry that the rest of my grades are As and then this comes out of nowhere and drops my GPA down .5.</p>

<p>I hope the talk with the prof will help nikkei...good luck.</p>
