AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around participants sharing their academic experiences, focusing on their best and worst grades across various subjects. One participant mentions achieving a C in maths and ICT, while another reflects on their journey from a C in linear algebra as an undergraduate to excelling with an A as a graduate student. The conversation touches on the challenges faced in subjects like geography and experimental physics, with some expressing frustration over teaching quality. Participants also discuss the variability in their grades throughout their education, highlighting a range from failing marks to high achievements, and share personal anecdotes about their academic journeys. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of understanding individual strengths and weaknesses in different subjects, as well as the impact of teaching methods on learning outcomes.

Best - C in maths and ICT

Worst - F in Geography.

Your best grade is a C? I really hope you find out what it is that is bothering you and that you'll be able to fix this issue.

OK my best grade was B and I had no worst grades, as I was only failed the classes. My teachers said C was the worst, and A was the best. I was an average student. I guess it was because I always thought outside the box and so my studies was always done also far away from the exam contents.
 
mostly A's and B's but I might have gotten a C once.

That was unnecessary!
 
Well I'm sorry. I didn't mean it in a bad way.
 
What's ICT? Is that a UK thing?

reasonably new; it wasn't around when I was at school. We just had boring old maths, physics, biology and chemistry..

As an undergraduate I got a C in linear algebra. Twenty years later as a graduate student I not only got an A, I was the best in a class of sixty grad students: finished the final first, got everything right, impressed the professor, hardly studied, etc. Unfortunately linear algebra was the only thing I was good at. I sucked at all other forms of algebra.

Excluding the ones on the last year when I had too many disciplines to complete, and took 10/20 in some, my second worst was 12/20 in experimental Physics. Really hated those lab classes, and even more so the teachers who hardly knew more Physics than undergraduates and couldn't explain the methods well. Best was 19/20 in some programming classes.

Worst I ever had was 5/20.
The best was 19/20 for an intro programming course (C).

In fact I scored every outcome between my lowest and highest. My only regret is that I never had a 20/20.

C = Intro to Social Work (elective) lol

A = Statistical Math, Anatomy and Phys etc

I was held back in Kindergarten, so I suppose this is an F. In college, I covered the entire spectrum from D- to A- (no clear A's). In graduate school I earned about 2/3 A's and 1/3 B's. In various courses as an unenrolled student at the grad level I earned a B+, two Bs (in one case the Professor told me he reported a B- and then changed his mind to a B. I went back to him to make sure this was not a mistake. He told me it was no mistake. That is the first time that happened. Usually when a professor reports the low grade to the student, and the student accepts it, he has no reason to change it. I was not in the program so I did not need the grade anyway, it was just for enrichment. This is the first time that happened.), two more B-'s (one; a course I had to take at work, and one a summer course I did not need) and one C-. I suppose I covered the entire spectrum.

I got an E in As level maths, which is equivalent to first year of high school I think.

And I got 86% in mathematical methods for physics 2 at the end of last year...

Things have picked up :)

Got an E for GCSE art once.
In my defense that was a very hard course and I was very laz..waiit.
