<p>mine says 1xx/100</p>
<p>when grades were uploaded to bspace when i took physics with Fajans (Fall 08), it was out of 100 (converted).</p>
<p>sadness… I actually had a shimmer of hope once I realized it might not be a raw score… but it doesn’t quite make sense if people can score higher than 100%… lol. 1 more reason to hate this class :(</p>
<p>I don’t understand why!</p>
<p>1) It’s so easy to normalize it 2) all the other grades (lab grades, homework grade, etc) are normalized.</p>
<p>I really don’t get why except to be really big *<strong><em>ing *</em></strong>***s.</p>
<p>waiting: mine says 1xx/100 as well</p>
<p>just curious, how many SD over the mean you need to get to get atleast an A-?</p>
<p>30something…it’s kindof sad that the average was so low. I bet that a group of AP physics students who got 2’s, 3’s, 4’s, and 5’s could outperform us.</p>
<p>I think the low performance correlates to the not terribly stellar teaching quality.</p>
<p>futureent: 1sd usually puts you at the A/A- borderline, as most premed classes are curved to 16% solid As. its always better to be above to be safe, as it changes from time to time, but shooting for 1sd is always a good goal.</p>
<p>i agree fajans was one of the worst teachers I’ve ever experienced. The fact that over 700 students experienced his p i s s poor quality teaching as well only makes me hate the class more.</p>
<p>lol at gay collegeconfidential not allowing you to type p i s s</p>
<p>this is why having good GSIs can be so helpful</p>
<p>yeah, but what i really hate is that even if the GSI or professor is a genius and can’t teach (my experience of physics 8A), you have to end up learning it all on your own…which isn’t why I’m here. And it happens more often than not, there is no “teaching requirement” like in high school to show that your teacher is proficient at communicating the information to you clearly and well.</p>
<p>for those in lec 2 - they’ve updated the point total to 175.</p>
<p>aaand grades are up on bearfacts :(</p>
<p>Ahh barely scraped by >.<</p>
<p>Good thing I have A’s/A-'s in everything else…</p>
<p>phew, i was beginning to think i wasn’t going to get a single A+ this semester</p>
<p>and i never took physics before hahaha</p>
<p>fajans is a fantastic professor!</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>chaosrecon,</p>
<p>that’s cool. Thxs for sharing man. party it up in TKE ;)</p>
<p>Watch out for 8B…that class is nuts compared to 8A.</p>
<p>at least fagjans will not be teaching it</p>
