Post Your Grades for Spring Term

[zif.]

You get A+ in your college? There is no such thing in the colleges around me.

What grade is A+?

At the universities around here (BC) an A+ is 4.33.


Well... Except for the University of Victoria... 7 point scale or something crazy.

I see some very impressive grades in this thread. They look so pretty. =D My classes are much easier than from what I see in this thread but here it goes:

College Algebra A (took it in winter intersession)
Cultures and Values A
Intro to Physical Science (No grade yet)
College Composition II A
Precalculus A

 

[TylerH]

Honors US History A- (4.75)
Honors Junior English B (4.0)
AP Computer Science A/B (6.0-5.0) [Don't know yet...]
Calculus I A (4.0)

Woah.. Is this college? AP computer science is out of a 6.0?? That would reallyyy boost your gpa. I want to take honor classes now!

No, it's high school. :)

Silly me. :shy: I had a feeling there is no "AP" for college.

I'm assuming this is college. What is a GPA of A+ equate to? Because in my college they don't give A+.

 

[SuicideSteve]

Total Avg. GPA: 3.70
##############$# Calc I: -A Chem II: B+ Intro C++: A$###############

My course schedule got all screwed up so I ended up only taking 3 courses

Yes, major state University. A+ = 4.0; the same as a straight A. All other plus and minus grades affect GPA, though. Wish the A+ counted for more. ;)

I'm about to start QM and electro & magneto statics, should I start studying for classical mechanics first this summer or dive straight into QM?

You should try to read ahead on QM since, personally, it always takes longer to digest than any other class (other than general relativity IMO). I always found it useful to supplement the QM text with some of the Susskind lectures online and re-reading also. Classical mechanics should be pretty straightforward and electro&magnetostatics is pretty accessible, just review your vector calculus.

 

[Clever-Name]

Introduction to Physical Measurement - 97% (basically a circuits/lab course)
Physical Properties of Materials - 95%
Physics III (intro to quantum) - 93%
Advanced Calculus II (multiple integrals/vector calc) - 90%
Linear Algebra II - 90%

Or if you'd like in terms of GPA (I'm in Canada so we're on a 4.0 system) They're all A+ / 4.00

 

[Jack21222]

Modern Physics 2: A
Intermediate Physics Laboratory 2: A-
Electricity and Magnetism: A-
Elementary Linear Algebra: A-
Directed Readings (1 credit undergrad research): A

The curse of the A- strikes again. Overall GPA is now 3.84

You almost got an A- in two of your classes, be careful. As soon as you hit 89 it constitutes an A- (well in NJ college it does anyways).

I remember I got my only A- this year because of an 89, needless to say I'm still pissed about it. >.<

 

[ych22]

Looking at all your A's...I cannot help but wonder about grade inflation...but I mean no disrespect. PF is a community of committed learners and educators afterall.

Anyway, I will be getting my grades for spring term next monday. The college is tough on grade inflation, but nonetheless reasonable on the amount of A's (maybe the top 25% get A-, A, A+). 3A- and 2A are usually sufficient to place in top 5% of the class.

I'm guessing you didn't read the part where he said he got an A+?

 

[TylerH]

90% is an A+?

You also have to remember that this isn't a random sample. I'm willing to bet that people that get A's are more likely to report their grades than those who got B's and C's.

Of course, I understand that.

It would be great to know how PF forumners do relatively against their classmates.

 

[Ryker]

90% is an A+?

Sometimes, yes. In one of the courses I even had around 88% and got an A+. I don't know what the cut-off was, though.

I used to think 96%+ was an A+...

 

[Ryker]

I guess it is at some universities or in some classes. But the tests are then easier. I personally prefer harder tests with lower averages. Since it is curved, it evens out in the end anyway.
