I got a 2.7 +/- in a class this quarter...given that a large portion of the class was taking it for the second or third time, I was pretty happy just to pass on the first try. Horribly designed class, but required to graduate. :yuck:

Grading in university is way too unpredictable.

As a grad student I got "B-" in Real Analysis, when many of the undergrad hordes (90% of the class) passed with A's.

In my Ph.D. thesis, I actually used a theorem from the real analysis class to prove existence of a solution to a boundary value (Diff Eq) problem.

After I graduated, I published part of my thesis (along with the proof) in a peer-reviewed top journal in my field.

The moral of the story is, I guess, "it all depends on why you are in school in the first place."

Ah yes, making jokes about suicide is soooo funny!

Thanks for the laugh, Cyrus.

I can't believe this thread..
I just got some of my grades back, C+ in Real Analysis (I was not one of the undergrad horde getting an A in the class, I think there were 2 A's in the class of around 30)
Guess I should transfer to School of Business then, right?

A B+ is no where near a bad grade Ice. Your overreacting a little bit.

I failed a finals course. It was in another faculty and I wasn't used to their exam format, it also clashed with some of my core lectures.
Ironicaly it was in image processing, which was a major part of my Phd and what I have worked as an expert in for most of my career.

It's really the only option left.

Heh, I've got all of you beat. I just found out yesterday that I got a B- in my astronomy class, which sucks, since I'm a graduate student. Of course I'm not too upset, since my other two classes turned out fine. I'd say that getting a 3.47 GPA my first semester of grad school isn't too shabby.

I had a 26% in philosophy in high-school... but, in my defense, when I signed up for that class I figured it would consist of sitting in our desks for an hour and pondering.

Maybe if someone close to you commist suicide or if you ever have to work to help counsel students on a campus (who go through all sorts of crisis and are sometimes feeling very desperate) you wil become less of an *******
