<p>I've heard it's only science classes that are on curves. Is this true?</p>
<p>90% of the time this is true. I have had 1 or 2 North Campus classes grade on a curve too, though, and it was usually a good thing.</p>
<p>From my experience, all engineering classes are curved, while most science classes are curved, and most economics classes are curved as well. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>i have a question about how a curve class works. if five students get 90% in their work, are they automatically awarded with A's if they are the top five students in the class? what if everyone else scores below a 70%? does that mean those students have to receive a devestating lower grade [ such as a C or even D,F?? ] ??</p>
<p>typically in science classes, the average score of the class is set in the C+/B- range (though gotta luv those classes that have a B+ curve!) which means, say overall the class is worth 550 points and the average is 420, that'll be about a C+/B-. Usually there's a set amount of A's handed out. Take for example, in my physics class this "quarter," my professor said that about the top 15% of the class would receive some form of an A. However, how many students that receive each grade also depends on the standard deviation.</p>
<p>I'm intrested in going into UCLA asa psych major, what is the average curve range for psych classes?</p>
<p>The Psychology curves are generous, or so I've heard (B+/B medians). :rolleyes:</p>
<p>The smiley face tells me you are exaggerating?</p>
<p>That's just his signature. . .</p>
<p>I had a lot of economics/poli sci classes on curves.</p>
<p>And no, he's not exaggerating. That's Flopsy's signature.</p>
<p>Thanks for the clarification.</p>
