<p>True that, leftist. You should broaden that to just GPA-killing in general...</p>
<p>my premed dream's been gone already. I just want to graduate and get out of here.</p>
<p>How'd you guys do? I didn't get the 9 lmao</p>
<p>Just got mine back from 1 Lewis. I got 104/150. I'm not really sure how I should react to that... What was the average again?</p>
<p>70% should curve out to be an A in the end dude. congrats.</p>
<p>also, can we get it back even if we're in 3AL?</p>
<p>what about a 107? what would that end up being?</p>
<p>are all of you guys who picked up the tests in 3AL?</p>
<p>yeah. i had lab today.</p>
<p>really serephi? you got a 107 and the previous post got a 104 and the curve rounds the 104 up to an A...hmm. =) congrats. </p>
<p>At least I beat the curve too, albeit not by much. =\
So what does the curve even look like? an 85=___?</p>
<p>Awesome!</p>
<p>There were several 3AL students wondering if they could get their scores back during office hours and the GSI said that only lecture only students get their scores back in office hours.</p>
<p>from what i've heard from my GSI the average (85) will be curved to a B-/C+ with the standard deviation (28 pts) setting the lower bounds for the subsequent letter grades (113 would be approximately an A-, 57 would be a C- etc). </p>
<p>that just what my GSI said. dont shoot the messenger.</p>
<p>oh damn really? i was really happy, i thought i got an A. :[</p>
<p>some of the proctors told students to mark off their names, instead of their lab GSI's names, on their exams so i know some tests were misplaced. it happened to my friend.</p>
<p>hey so does frechet do an overall curve in the end of the year?</p>
<p>^
dang what a high standard deviation.
I need at least a 59 then. omG</p>
<p>YaoMing: is your GSI sure about that or is he/she just speculating? 1 SD away is pretty harsh for an A.</p>
<p>Oh man. That blows. Oh well.</p>
<p>Those standard deviations your GSI said seem inconsistent to the deviations in his past years tests. Last year the average for the MT1 was 56/100. Assuming what everybody said is correct in that 70/100 should be an A and a 80/100 should be an A+, the deviation would be around 14 for an A. </p>
<p>On the other hand, a deviation of 28 points per letter converted to a 100 point scale would be around 19 points, meaning that for last year a 75/100 would be required last year to get an A-.</p>
<p>maybe this year's class is smarter than last year's class?</p>
<p>based on what? that our average was a F (85/150...)? lmao</p>
<p>percentage wise the averages for this year vs last year are pretty much the same (56% vs. 56.6%) so statistically it would make sense to use the same deviations.</p>
<p>I feel like I need to retake stats again. >.<
Why would one standard deviation be harsh? It seems reasonable to me.
I'm looking at the histogram and if 113 is the cutoff for an A-, there would still be a lot of people getting As.</p>
