So, for those of us who are in school, High School, College, or Uncle's Bob Clown College, how did you do this Semester? So far I only got one grade back in my Anatomy Lecture Class, and that's an A. I calculated my Abnormal Psychology class grades after I got the final back, I should make a 91. I don't know about my Anatomy Lab and Statistic grade yet, but I am optimistic about it. :)

Let's see:

Economics 502.01- Intermediate Macro Theory A-
Economics 520- Money and Banking A-
Accounting 212- Intro. to Financial Accounting A
Statistics 133- Business Statistics A-

So, I did pretty well. Next quarter is a bundle of business management courses and introductory managerial accounting.

So far, only one class has reported grades.

Introduction to Computer Architecture: A-

I'm expecting a B/B+ average this semester.

Hopefully I at least get Cs.I don't have high hopes for anything :)

I have three things I'd like to say today. First, you have a wonderful signature. Second, you need to learn to learn in your sleep so that you can sleep during class as I do. What's worse is that this is copypasta. \b\bkinda

Haven't gotten final grades yet. Quick math means that I can't get below a high 80 in any of the classes, though.

Answering as a teacher: Some of my students did very well, some did very badly, and some in between. :p I handed out marks going right across the spectrum, from 00.5 to 19.5.

I'm doing great this semester. It's my past semesters' GPAs that will haunt me...

It's been a good semester, but I have my finals next week...

I'm expecting a B or an A in my discrete math course,

but I'm totally clueless on my java programming class. It could be anywhere from an F to a B. :( I really hope I got that B.

I passed my Badminton class (the PE classes are pass/fail)

I dropped my Calculus class.

And I've changed my major, so I'll actually take classes I like next semester. :)

Got butchered. Haven't done this poorly (I'm guessing...haven't actually seen the final grades, yet) since first semester freshman year. Though I aced the exams, I kept forgetting the idiot online homework for Spanish so that grades gonna suffer and the same is true for my micro-econ class minus the acing of the exams. I'm probably going to need to retake calc because, though I can fucking teach the material, I can't take a fucking math exam for some reason. Philosophy of Mind....probably did well, I usually get at least a B in philosophy classes because I'm good at writing papers. My Arabic lit class I'm expecting an A, though a B wouldn't surprise me due to the final (suffered a death in the immediate family literally the week before finals....during Dead Week, actually, as morbid as that is). Oh and....my Arabic final was, and I'm not lying, the hardest exam I've ever taken in my life. I spent the first 20 minutes just staring at it, as did my classmates, because we were all totally shocked at how ridiculous it was. I ended up being changed the last minute to be much harder so we had no way to really prepare for what it became. Seriously, I've never felt so utterly terrible after an exam in my life....ever.

So yea, shitty semester for me. But I start Russian next semester and drop Spanish so I'm happy. I tried out the low level Spanish courses because I wanted another language but I can't handle how fucking stupid the people in those classes are. A student actually asked if there are minorities in Spanish speaking countries....as a serious question and I'm not exaggerating. Something inside me died that day.

Haven't finished yet. I've got another week, although I've got four out of six of my assessed essays back. The last one had "disappointing" written on the front. Hopefully, my (I think) decent oral contrabutions in seminars and an OK result in the exams in January should push up my grade.

I'm looking forward to the christmas holidays though.

Did the work at the end of the year, did fine, been on holidays for a few weeks and can't tell one day from the next, life is good.

Physics - 67 Credit
Chemistry - 79 Distinction
Dynamics - 61 Pass
Maths - 84 Distinction (High Distinction is 85!)
Materials - 73 Credit

I give myself straight As.

Once my semester ends in mid-February, I'll tell you. Maybe.

4.0 baby! :)

I don't have semester exams until January, after the break. I wish I had them before the break the way we did the three years before. But everything should be an A, as long as my calculus grade doesn't go down. Everything else is no problem.

I took my exam for AP Biology already though, since that's online, and I got an A for the semester.

I'm probably going to need to retake calc because, though I can fucking teach the material, I can't take a fucking math exam for some reason.

I have the same problem. Maybe because not all topics connect. Algebra II avg: 92. Exam Grade: 70. This year should be easy, since the entire first semester of AP Calc was derivatives and their applications.

A student actually asked if there are minorities in Spanish speaking countries....as a serious question and I'm not exaggerating. Something inside me died that day.

We were studying Ibsen last year, and the teacher had a Powerpoint up with Ibsen: The Only Norwegian You Ever Need To Know, and this kid asked where Norwegia is.

It ain't over yet...

The semester for me ends in January, but 1 1/2 terms have already ended, so I've already gotten 3 report cards.

The only grade I'm pissed about is English H (a D- probably). But then again, everyone got this grade and my English teacher is the definition of "pr*ck".

All my other grades are pretty good. I got a C in two other Honor's classes, but those can be fixed by doing 2 homework assignments. So, it'd take me only 2 days to raise my grade to a B.

So, for those of us who are in school, High School, College, or Uncle's Bob Clown College, how did you do this Semester? So far I only got one grade back in my Anatomy Lecture Class, and that's an A. I calculated my Abnormal Psychology class grades after I got the final back, I should make a 91. I don't know about my Anatomy Lab and Statistic grade yet, but I am optimistic about it. :)

I haven't got most of my grades yet, but the most depressing is this in Honors Geometry:

Homework Average: A
Test Average: F

For myself I am a straight A student with a couple extra gold stars and attaboys thrown.

I haven't had exams yet, I start studying in a week, my first is 8 jan, and the second a few weeks later. I hope I'll have at least 10/20 for all courses, we'll see.

*breathes on glasses and wipes off crap on them*
I actually have A 5.0 something or other. Out of 5.33. Yeah...
:D I hate my LA teacher...she gave me a 70 on a quiz...nobody likes her anyway.

What the hell are you talking about? My high school semester doesn't end until mid January..

Exams start in two days. I will have results in january.

However, there was one exam I already did, where I got 94%. Of that, I am rather proud.

Only grade posted so far is General Methods, which I got a B in.

Still waiting on Modern Drama, Modern English Grammar, and Literature of Memory, Faith and Tragedy

I'm still a few days away from the end of exams, and since that is from 25-33% of what I get graded for, I can't say anything for certain.
I'm at least confident that I'm going to pass everything, and German Literature is actually looking like A- territory, which would be the highest grade I've ever received for any of the 4 foreign languages I've taken since I somehow ended up in the Middle School Latin program.

Well I won't know until I get back to uni but I have a feeling I've done well.

Quite disappointed, this time 'round. It was probably the hardest semester I've had, but still I must have done badly on the finals. I was going much better throughout the semester.

On a scale from 1 - 7, where 7 is "High Distinction".

Applied Econometrics 6
International Macroeconomics 6
Managing International Legal Environments 6
Corporate Finance 5 (WTF?!)

I didn't make anyone cry and I managed not to stab myself with a needle so i'm pretty pleased

I got an A in one class and I'm not sure how poorly I have to have done on my exam to get less than an A in the other. Grad school is awesome. :P

Alright, for the most recent semester (classes down here in New Zealand ended way back in October); I did alright, I got a B average, which sucked, but was mostly because one paper dragged me down. Well, here they are

Accounting 102 (Accounting Concepts) A
Management 101 A-
Economics 111 (Macroeconomics) B+
Property 141 (Construction) C-

I was expelled from Community college after devouring an excessive amount of my classmates. So, much better than last year.

I'm pretty sure I'll have a bunch of C's, surely an A in French and English (which are my country's two official languages)

Vous devinez de quel pays je parle?

Lived. Survived. I have one week left on my co-op and I'm done.
I got an A in ChE 301 - Transport Phenomena. That's all I know.
I have to work on my correspondence course (Econ 201 - Microeconomics) over winter break.

Answering as a teacher: Some of my students did very well, some did very badly, and some in between. :p I handed out marks going right across the spectrum, from 00.5 to 19.5.

The way my professors in France explained it to me 20 was for God, 19 for Jesus, 18 for the Virgin Mary, 17 for the professor and 16 for the best student in the class. Thus, I was quite happy when I got 18,75 as my overall grade for langue. Do note that I went to a Catholic university, so that's why they had that particular "system".

I'm pretty sure I'll have a bunch of C's, surely an A in French and English (which are my country's two official languages)

Vous devinez de quel pays je parle?

Le Cameroun?

A C in Geometry, a B or A- in English, and As in History and Physics.

Well, I managed to get a pretty sizable group of people at my college to come and join NationStates at the end of the term, as a social experiment...

But, let's see...
Intro to Music History & Philosophy - A+
Intro to Music Technology - A
Private Voice Studio - A
Independent Study (Composition) - A-
English Composition - A-

Pretty good for the first semester...

(Le Canada? Peut-être...)

Lets see... since I home school, i have to let this one go

I did the most sensible thing I could do, I quited.

I failed in all 2 exams I took, didn't bother with the other 2.:p

Light course load this semester, as I near the end of my schooling. Looks like either 1 A and 2 Bs or 2 As and 1 B.

HAHAH! I passed all the classes! :D

I skipped more than I went, and I passed. MWAHAHAH I am so happy..Even though I should be ashamed :p

No idea. Results come out on Boxing Day and university offers mid-January.

*shudders*

I'm pretty happy. Taught some 36 different lessons to about 600 kids over 4, 5, and 6th grades and only had to scream twice. :D

That and all of my kids came out of English alive and kicking and have learned either Home on the Range, I've Been Working on the Railroad, or She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain When She Comes which I count as a success along with the retention of my sanity of having to teach them to said 600 kids week after week.

Hopefully:

Econ A
Bio: B
Physics: C
Philosophy: B

Only 3 classes


SKILLS FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT - D (I missed a week)
MANAGEMENT: THEORY,PRACTICE, APPLICATION - A-
ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR AND ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY - A+ so far
