<p>I got an A+ in my AP Calculus BC course both semesters…</p>
<p>Computer Engineering major (degree in 2 months… crazy)</p>
<p>Calc I: B
Calc II: B
Calc III: C
Diff. Eq: A
Lin. Alg: B</p>
<p>Worked my ass off in Linear Algebra, but it’s notorious around my college for having ridiculously tough grading and no curving. Kick myself for not working harder in Calc I and II, but had a very tough professor and learned a lot.</p>
<p>Calc 1: AP credit
Calc 2: B+
Calc 3: Taking it right now. Blew it off because of how easy people were telling me it was and got an 80 on my first test. Won’t ever do something like that again, lol. Probably going to get an A-, or an A if I’m really lucky.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Homework, mainly. Homework was 25% of my calc 2 grade and I would constantly half-ass it. If I would have turned in all my homework on time, I would have probably got at least an A- in calc 2. I’ve gotten a little better with calc 3, but it’s still a problem with me. Getting rid of bad habits is a process, I guess.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I feel ya. I got an 80 on my first calc 3 exam and ended up with an A- eventhough my homework average was close to a 100 and my last two exams were A’s. Half of the tests were multiple choice so its all or nothing and I happened to miss one of those questions thus giving my an 80 instead of a 90.</p>
<p>SystemShock, I’ve calculated a 97.6% probability that you aren’t studying enough. :-P</p>
<p>Computer Science major</p>
<p>Calc I: B+
Calc II: B
Calc III: B
Linear Analysis & Dif Eqs: B</p>
<p>I could never do enough to get an A. haha</p>
<p>calc. I: A+
calc. II: A
calc. III: A+</p>
<p>Edit: Chemical engineering major
Linear algebra: B
Differential eqn: A+</p>
<p>How the heck can you earn and A+? Is there even such a thing?</p>
<p>Depends on your school’s grading system (or you can mentally add the plus yourself if you earned it). For example, an A+ may be a 100, or at some schools a 97-100. It can figure into GPAs. Not sure I like that.</p>
<p>Yeah I always thought the + and - system was weird. Thankfully Auburn just does the letter grades, and that has helped my GPA immeasurably… I can’t imagine anybody having a 4.0, or even close to that, on the + / - system. You’d have to ace every single class in college. Ouch.</p>
<p>At UIUC we had +/-, but an A+ and an A got you the same GPA, it just looked fancy on your transcript. An A(+) was 4.0, A- was 3.667, B+ was 3.333, B was 3.0, etc. At TAMU there is no +/- system, thank God!</p>
<p>Yeah, UT just implimented it the semester I got there. -_- talk about crap timing…</p>
<p>UMich has a weird grading system. A+ = 4, A = 4, A- = 3.7 B+ = 3.3, B = 3… Unless you’re in the B-School, then you get a 3.4 for B+s (and all +s) and a 4.4 for A+.</p>
<p>can some one give me the definition of calc I or calc II ?
as far as i know
in
differential calc/LA I : A-
Differential calc/LA II : C</p>
<p>Calc I generally does differentiation and basic integration while Calc II does more advanced methods of integration (the only one of which I still remember and/or use is partials) and stuff dealing with series. Calc III is typically vector-based where you do the double and triple integrals.</p>
<p>Auburn, the valedictorian at our school 2 years ago had a 3.96 with enough credits to transfer some over to his masters program( I think he was over by 12 CE credits). He came back and graduated in two semesters with a 4.0 in MS CS program. </p>
<p>It is very very hard to get a 4.0 average in 8 semesters. There is a lot of drama over the cut-off for an A grade. It moves between 87-95 depending on the course.</p>
<p>Well, God willing, I’ll graduate with a 3.98 undergrad GPA with about 25 credit hours more than are required for the BS CS I’ll be getting. I think a couple of credits may transfer to a Master’s program, but I’ll probably try to spread it out over 3 semesters at the least… we’ll see…</p>
<p>Thank God undergrad is almost over. I’d probably have a ~3.75 if we were on the +/- system.</p>
<p>Nice. With that gpa you can apply to any company. Google perhaps?</p>
<p>Straight A’s because I loved math.</p>
<p>Structural engineering major (my diploma reads “Architectural Engineering,” but I emphasized structures - I didn’t do CE because I wanted to avoid highways, hydraulics, etc.). A/A/A. I loved math, too!</p>
