<p>Well, what I meant to say was that I can graduate in 5 quarters altogether (including summer session), 4 quarters starting from the Winter 2007 quarter. I agree that it's not such a smart idea to graduate ASAP, especially since life after undergrad is all "uphill" from there. Then again, I don't want to bury myself in debt just to have a better undergrad experience since I am a transferring student. I think the best thing to do is balance yourself out for your last two years. I don't know about you, but my first two "college years" (if you even want to call it that) were anything but spectacular. Ever since I stepped onto UCLA's polluted soil, I knew I'd love everything about the campus. I was right, but overly optimistic. Compared to high school, making friends takes a little effort and assertiveness. Not to mention, it makes it even more unbearable if you commute to UCLA. The only way I see myself making friends is to do it through study groups or clubs. Anyhow, I intend to make the best of my 2 years here (hopefully no more), even if I have to get as much sleep as a south campus major on a daily basis.</p>
<p>nikkei,</p>
<p>UCLA's soil is polluted? :confused:</p>
<p>Thanks UCLAri. I wasn't talking about myself though (I'm still enjoying school...for the most part :p) I was just trying to come up with a reason why some students would like to graduate early.</p>
<p>Good. Do your best to soak up the undergrad experience. The real world/grad school don't even compare.</p>
<p>I'm curious...what do you mean by "don't even compare?"</p>
<p>ekn111,</p>
<p>I mean that they're not nearly as fun.</p>
<p>ohhh. gotcha. :D</p>
<p>Geez :( I got 34.5/100 in a midterm. :( Totally f**ked up. Should I drop that course? The total for that course is 330, 100 points for that midterm, 200 points for the final, and the rest is homework points. :( Geez. :( Although I saw loads of people getting 30's and 40's, I'm in danger of failing. :(</p>
<p>shirley,</p>
<p>It depends on the curve. 34.5/100 may be a B.</p>
<p>I saw most people got 40's, and some people got 50's and 60's. I even saw a 70's. 34.5 obviously is not a B. :(</p>
<p>shirley,</p>
<p>Depends on how the grades are distributed. Just because there's one 70 doesn't mean that your 34.5 is a bad grade. Don't freak out until you you know how the curve is being handled.</p>
<p>I think it's a C- at most. :( Should I email my professor for the mean? </p>
<p>And do you know the function of standard deviation? I totally forget it even though I took statistic b4.</p>
<p>I haven't done a SD by hand in years...yay for Excel.</p>
<p>Email your prof and ask for the mean and SD. If you're within an SD of the mean, I think you're fine.</p>
<p>I don't understand "within an SD of the mean". </p>
<p>If the mean is 50, and SD is 10, so 40-60 is a B?</p>
<p>damn, I did some calculations right in a 17 points question. I even got 3 points partial credit at first but someone circled my 3 points and it didn't count as credit anymore. They don't give partial credit for a 17 points calculation. :( Geez. And I saw other pages with a few more points in the circle. That could bring me to 40. :(</p>
<p>shirley,</p>
<p>It depends on what the mean is.</p>
<p>My professor hasn't answered my email at all. :( But My friend said the mean is 50. So do I pass this midterm?</p>
<p>Why don't you try talking to him/her in person...</p>
<p>Yeah, you really should have a word with your prof and try to get a realistic assessment of your potential grade.</p>
<p>Don't wait until the last minute!
Talk to your prof ASAP.
The end of the quarter is nearing (kind of crazy now that I think about it).</p>
<p>I also regret coming here because there is a slight chance that I might get tasered for not having my bruincard with me at Night Powell.</p>
