<p>So who got owned by the math 118 final? I did well on every quiz and midterm, but this exam just demolished my grade. Does anyone happen to know if there's a curve and what it's usually set at? Also, does every math 118 class "curve" your final class grade or is that up to your professor's discretion?</p>
<p>When I read your concern, I am wondering if it is better to take Math at a community college during the summer.</p>
<p>If you know its easy and USC allows you fulfill the math requirement with the CC course then might as well.</p>
<p>mdcissp: Since your son is an engineer (which I recall from previous posts), I would NOT recommend he take math courses at CC over the summer. CC is a joke and if he expects to build any foundation in math for the rest of his time at USC, he should definitely take his math courses during fall and spring semesters. They are rigorous (weekly homeworks and quizzes, 2 midterms, cumulative final), but they will help tremendously with the rest of his upper division classwork.</p>
<p>My daughter's friend who does Math for fun thought her final exam was hard. She did get 100% on some of the quizzes and midterms. But I think she took the Series 2 level math not Math 118. I've always cautioned to my daughter that the final is what make or break a course grade. Especially when there are too many things going on simultaneously. So plan your schedule well for the next coming semester.</p>
<p>On this same note:
Please tell me: When do all the grades get posted? (so they can be seen in the web)</p>
<p>Is it better to take Math at UCLA in the summer? What about Physics in the summer at a CC or UCLA? USC summer school is so expensive.</p>
<p>Im pretty sure I owned the 118 final, but Im not sure... I would know if my prof. would put the damn scores on blackboard... are your scores up?
Oh, and the final is curved based off of everyone's scores put together.... Then if your prof. curves your class, there is a class curve too.</p>
