<p>Ok, im in Pre Calc. Part 1 and im most likely going to fail. I know when you take it over and if you pass, it replaces the fail. My question is, im bad in math so I rather take it in the Summer when it's my only class and my CC just has regular Pre Calc. Would this still replace the F? You might ask why I would go from Part 1 to the regular..my professor now is terrible and i've never been this lost in math. Rutgers math I heard is just hard and I did well at my CC in math before transferring.</p>
<p>That is actually not a bad idea if you are bad in math. Make sure you can still transfer additional classes and that you did not meet the max required for transferring credits. And yes, the class taken at CC will replace the F as long as you get a C or better. Just check with your adviser to make sure.</p>
<p>Oh, and I heard they curve at the end of the semester so you might pass at the end.</p>
<p>I’ll have to check with my advisor about the transfer credit.</p>
<p>I just really hate this professor (he’s new) and id rather take it as my only class in the Summer, even if it’s regular Pre Calc.</p>
<p>Also my prof said he doesnt do curves on tests but I guess like you said maybe they do one at the end…any idea in the past on how big it was?</p>
<p>I just want to know because I’d rather fail then end up with a D</p>
<p>My son is in Calc 135 and was told that they curve at the end of the semester. They have to see the highest grade and they curve accordingly. They usually take the highest grade, let’s say an 90, and make that an A or 100 and add 10 points to everybody’s grade. SO if you have 65 it will become 75. That is how it was explained to me. Not sure if every prof. do it but I know in Calc it has been done and will be done this semester.</p>
<p>Grades of F</p>
<p>In general, when a course is repeated in which the student previously earned a grade of F, both the original grade of F and the new grade remain on the transcript and in the cumulative grade-point average. However, for up to 16 credits in no more than four courses, the grade of F will be removed from the cumulative grade-point average if the student repeats a failed course. The original grade of F will remain on the transcript with an E prefix attached; the repeated grade will have an R prefix. </p>
<p>This policy may be applied anytime during the undergraduate years, but only once for a given course. </p>
<p>****<strong><em>The course must be repeated at Rutgers University-New Brunswick.</em></strong>** </p>
<p>If the student fails the course a second time, only the second F will enter the cumulative grade-point average. This policy may not be applied to punitive grades of F given for reasons such as academic dishonesty. Use of this policy to remove a grade of F from the cumulative grade-point average does not qualify a student for retroactive nomination to the Dean’s List nor does it rescind unsatisfactory scholastic standing status.</p>

<p>If it makes you feel better, someone I know got a 50-something on their first Calc 1 hourly exam and they ended up getting a B for the semester. The curve can be generous.</p>
<p>More grading trivia:</p>
<p>Grades of D</p>
<p>When students who have earned a grade of D choose to repeat the course, credits and grades are computed in the cumulative grade-point average for both courses, but credit is subtracted from the degree-credit total for the repeated course; the repeated grade is denoted by the addition of a K prefix. If the student receives a grade of D when taking a course for a second time and chooses to repeat the course yet again, all three grades are computed into the cumulative grade-point average, but the student receives degree credit only once.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Well I got a 35 on the first exam and just had one this week whoch im pretty sure I failed lol.</p>
<p>I have like a 95 in the recetation though which counts as 20% like an exam and then the Final which is 40%.</p>
<p>I highly recommend you seek help from your TA or prof. GO to the tutoring center and they can help you as well. Your only hope is to do really well on the final which can be done if you seek help NOW. If I were you, I would not wait any longer. There is a lot of help out there specially in a school like Rutgers, but you have to go after it as it will not come to you. Good luck!! </p>
<p>My son did not do well on the first test so he prepared himself really well for the second. He went for extra help with his TA, had one of his friends tutor him and put in a lot of time studying with other friends and ended up doing very well on the second test. Don’t give up and don’t prepare yourself for failure. It can be done with hard work.</p>
<p>Definitely agree with seeking tutoring or going to TA office hours. Remember there will be a curve. On the math dept webpage I think there is something that says they don’t curve but they do curve the final grades. They can’t fail everyone.</p>
<p>Don’t give up yet; doing well on the final could get you a C or a B for the course.</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s possible to fail a class at rutgers. I’m premed/bio major with a psych minor. I’ve taken every “difficult” class at rutgers and I don’t see how you can fail. There’s always someone who has the exams, notes, etc. Personally I use this guy ruhomework at hotmail since he has everything. For writing classes, I use Essay Editor- it’s an iphone app http://*******/Vte8hJ. I know it’s a short cut but anything for an A…right?</p>
<p>Does anyone know from the past, the type of curve the math department does for the final/final grades?</p>
<p>I really need to know as im really nervous right now!!</p>
<p>D1 who attends a NJ state school, (not Rutgers) needed to retake a class she received a C- in because it is a required class for her major and needed at least a C. Since she wanted to replace the grade she was told she could not take it at a CC and had to take it at her Univ. Make sure Rutgers will accept the GRADE if you take it at a CC.</p>
<p>Oh crap, just what I need, having to retake Part 1 and basically stretching this out to 3 semesters. Should have just never taken it here and just take one semester at my CC in the summer. Grades are 33 on first exam, 54 on 2nd, but I have a 90 in recitation. I still want to know what the curves are like because as of now, i’ll need like a 95 on the the final to pass with a 70. One person told me they curve both your final grade and final. </p>
<p>Last thing I want is a D as my final grade. I have no idea what to do right now.</p>
<p>Yup, just checked RU site, course MUST be retaken at RU for you to have it replace the grade.</p>
<p>Yikes…im screwed</p>
<p>Don’t worry now as there is nothing much you can do at this point (besides trying to be ready for your final). </p>
<p>In my experience, new teachers may teach a very rocky semester, but then grade more leniently at the end. Wait until you see what you get and then go from there. Good luck!</p>
<p>Yeah, I guess all I can do now is just study and hope for the best.</p>
<p>If I get a D, I guess i’ll just have to live with it, but then i’ll just take the course at my CC.</p>
<p>Well, I found Calc. Is curve for last year, does anyone know if it’s similar to Pre Calc. Part Is?</p>

<p>If so, this makes me feel a little better about getting at least a C.</p>
<p>So, I ended up failing the course.</p>
<p>I’ll be taking it in the spring over, but I do NOT want to take this same Prof. Thing is, this stupid school doesn’t list the teacher on it’s registration. I don’t know why, it’s pretty ridiculous. Do you think I can go to the Math Dep. office and find out? will they tell me?</p>
