Physics grade
Posted in Educationon Nov 29, 2006
It is already the last week of class for me here at Portland State. I just got my second mid-term back in my physics class, and I got a C on it, which compared to how well I felt that I did, isn’t that bad of a grade. It sends me into the final exam with a B in the class.
I feel that if I were to take this same class at BYU, the test would be more difficult and the grading also would not be so generous; so instead of sitting at a B, I would be struggling to find a passing grade.
I’m suspicious that perhaps classes at Portland State are easier, but because I’m only taking two, the sample size is not large enough to determine such.

So after getting the tests back today, I’ve watched about 5 or so people just get up and leave in the middle of the lecture. My theory is that they’ve received an unrecoverable score and they are giving up on the course.
I’m looking at the table where we can pick up our graded exams, and I’m seeing a couple dozen exams still not picked up. I’m wondering if there is a correlation between students who don’t come to class regularly enough to pick up their exams and the score they’ve received on those exams.
