<p>k next quarter i wanna get a 4.0</p>
<p>you have all inspired me</p>
<p>I could've done better this quarter but I'm content with what I got.</p>
<p>Phy Sci 5: A+
Math 31B: B+
English Comp 3: A-</p>
<p>I'd kill for those grades this quarter.</p>
<p>mm random question... is phy sci 5 pretty easy =o?
i was thinking of taking it but not sure...</p>
<p>if you have the type of mind that remembers every little fact in a detailed course reader and regurgitates it with no problem (i.e. science major) then yes it's an easy A. when i took it in the spring i think 1/3 of the class got an A, and most of the rest got Bs.</p>
<p>otherwise, easy B, harder A.</p>
<p>I missed a A- by one final question. I calculated my grade to be exactly 89.24%.</p>
<p>3.4 =</p>
<p>I felt Phy Sci 5 was a pretty easy A but that's because I had Bernard the first half and then Roberts the second half. Bernard's midterm was ridiculously easy (I overprepared myself) because it was so general and basic while Roberts had a more specific/difficult final. As long as you pay attention while you read and make an effort to understand, you should be fine. There's a pretty generous curve IMO. The lab report is also very easy (our mean was like 96/100!).</p>
<p>I managed to get like the 10th worst grade on the project because there were like 5 sets of information I didn't refer to in the analysis. But I was taking the class for pass/fail so it really didn't matter. Huzzah. </p>
<p>Speaking of pass/fail, does anyone know what effect taking classes like that will have on one's chances of getting into graduate/law school? I ended up taking two pass/fail classes this time (Phy Sci 5 and Hist 1A because my TA was terrible). I'm hoping it won't make me look lazy, since all my other grades are A's and a few A-'s, so it might appear that I only take classes for a grade if they're going well.</p>
<p>whats wrong with being perceived that way if thats exactly what youre doing?</p>
<p>and i heard that some law schools calculate a pass grade as a c when determining gpa's</p>
<p>I wasn't aware you could take more than one 5 unit class p/np a quarter. how did you manage two?</p>
<p>in any case some people are extreme and say you shouldn't have more than 1 or 2. having talked to many people, i think you can stretch it up to 4 (i.e. one a year). mainly, just dont do one every quarter.</p>
<p>"whats wrong with being perceived that way if thats exactly what youre doing?"</p>
<p>The only reason I did it for 1A is because my TA didn't know how to grade a paper and marked people off on 25-minute essay questions because they didn't have an argument in a question where there was no possible argument. With any other TA I would have had like a 95 in the class. Even after I stopped trying I got an 89.7. She was terrible. </p>
<p>I also hadn't taken any classes on that basis prior to this.</p>
<p>^Really? I think my TA docked me for having an argument when all he wanted was for me to spill out the stuff I memorized the night before about the test material. My first essay landed me a 40/50 when I had a really nice thesis and such. My second one got me a 43 when I started emphasizing material more than analysis, and the third one I got a 48 on when I had no thesis whatsoever xD But yeah, I heard one of the TAs was really harsh. Was it the lady with the glasses?</p>
<p>I think so. Her name was Sarah Whitten and I wish I hated her, but she was a really nice person so I feel bad about saying these things about her. But yeah, she was kinda short and wore glasses most of the time. I was so sick of her by the end that the second half of my final essay was "stuff happened and people died and Rome fell... bummer."</p>
<p>k, so basically, i got an NR for a grade (not reported), does that mean i didnt pass??? do profs sometimes put an NR for a grade for the students who didnt pass?</p>
<p>I think thats for professors who haven't finished grading (still). Were you borderline to begin with?</p>
<p>It just means your grade (or the class's grades) aren't ready yet. It happened to me for Session A (Summer Quarter).</p>
<p>3.077 :( first quarter ever for me though... Chemistry didn't like me much.</p>
<p>CS 1 - A
CS 31 - A
Math 31B - B
Chem 20A - C</p>
<p>T_T</p>
<p>^Who did you have for CS 31?</p>

That was actually my first A in a UD class for biochem... which kinda sucks... </p>
<p>I agree about Courey though. He was pretty good. I'm sure if I had worked harder I could've gotten the A... I mean Wiam pretty much told us EXACTLY what was on the exam during her reviews. And I suppose it would've helped had I actually remembered to write the poem... opps...</p>
<p>PS - what classes are you taking this next quarter? I had a heck of a time finding classes that didn't conflict with one another.

<p>I didn't go to discussion except for quizzes.... </p>
<p>I'm taking anthro 7, bionanotechnology, chem 154 and a psychology course, but anthro 7 is conflict with chem 154 lab. Also I don't know what the heck is bionanotechnology...</p>
<p>still waiting for my grades...-_-</p>
<p>EDIT: woah, the bug where my post comes before KolosoK's post is awesome. lol</p>
