I got a B in a class I attended twice.

OK I might as well post this in this thread. I have very little of understanding of how your grading system works, a girl I know who goes to Bryn Mawr just told me she got three 3.7s and a 3.3. Is this good?

FWIW, this class didn't sound easy when I signed up for it. This happens pretty frequently, where a class just turns out to be a cake class that isn't worth my time. If I didn't have other things I consider more important, obviously I could have pulled an A by, you know, reading. Or showing up to class. But if I can essentially take a B in a class for doing virtually nothing, it lightens my load and allows me to do better in classes that I might actually learn something from.

I find it fascinating. I'm not at some Ivy League school, but UW is a pretty damn good school and I cannot believe how often I end up in classes that require little to no effort. It happens almost every semester.

Spam -

in most american colleges/universities, an A is the best possible grade:

A = 4.0
A- = 3.67 (3.7)
B+ = 3.3
B = 3

and so on and so forth.

Depending on your school and it's grade inflation and your major and your zodiac sign, a GPA around 3.5 is either good or average.

OOT's ability to pick up on sarcasm and jokes has gone downhill in the last few months.

Next time I post something sarcastic, I'll make sure to include a [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] so no one takes me seriously.

Thanks bison.

I am not american, so I dont have any friends who attend an american school outside of mine... which means I have no idea what is good/average at other schools.

Sorta off topic, but, from what I've heard, Harvard and Brown are both very easy once you get in.

Can anyone confirm/deny this?

Wow, I'm currently in a Physics class posting on 2+2, talking to friends and doing fantasy baseball and am getting an A. I have done this every day for the past 3 months. I rule.

This hapened to me regularly in undergrad. But don't get in the habit if you plan on an advanced degree. It doesn't happen at all in Law School.
