<p>What is the curve for Physics 2211 at Georgia Tech?
Would appreciate your comments!</p>
<p>It will depend on your professor. pickaprof FTW</p>
<p>I am in Classical Physics 2211, and my professor is new to teaching this class, but I figured that classical Physics 2211 classes should all have the same sort of curve.</p>
<p>I had Dr. Murray last semester for 2211 and I know he’s teaching it this Spring too. It’s his tests you are prob. taking. Everyone that I knew pretty much ended up one letter grade above where they thought they should have been. Make sure you get as many points as you can for prs, recitation and lab. It helps…alot 
I’m in 2212 now and am praying to the physics gods there’s at least the same curve…our 2 test avgs. were 62 and 56…ugh, and my grades were right on top on those.</p>
<p>^If you are in classical physics 2, do not count on a curve. 30% of the class last semester got Ds and Fs w/ the end of term bonuses…</p>
<p>Yeah, but from what you said, they did really poorly. A person with like 30-49 should not really expect to pass if the average is in 60-70s. That only happens at places like the one I’m at (I know someone who got a D in Weischenk’s orgo. class with like a 37. In Soria’s class, one needs like a 55 just to get that and getting an A is impossible at a 95. And he doesn’t curve no matter the exam averages. You’ll simply have to earn bonus points).</p>
<p>^i know people who got Ds who got around average and a little bit below average each time…</p>
<p>Oh, so it was hard curved like my biochem class. If you don’t get the average, you don’t get the C+/B- or whatever the average is supposedly centered at. Either way, I thought you broke down the class average. You said it was like a 75 (but wasn’t that w/bonuses and stuff, so not just the exams?). Either way, if they got like a 69 and got a D, then there wasn’t a curve, simple as that.</p>
<p>all the info for the physics curve is listed here…this is the webpage for my class last semester

<p>Interesting, you were in the “good” section weren’t you? So, that Homework really helps, huh? The grading curve seemed fair to me. The “good” ones average is similar to our moderate-harder bio sections. Unfortunately, we don’t go as far to explain grades. There are tests and quizzes, back exams, and SI-sets. You don’t do the latter two, you decrease chances of B+/A, period.</p>
<p>is exempting phys 2211 and 2212 a good idea at georgia tech? because i will have physics C credit and i can exempt those classes but i dont want to exempt a class in which their is new material that i havent learned</p>
<p>exempt it unless you are an ME or EE.</p>
<p>why should i not exempt if i am an ME?</p>
