Looking at Spark's grades reminds me how nice it was to go to a college without pluses and minuses.  It's a lot less stressful going into finals when you can say, "Well, to get a B in the class, I need to get somewhere between 38% and 95% on the final."  Without all those smaller gradations, it generally didn't matter a whole lot how I did on my finals.

Christ I don't feel like going back to my transcript for all my college grades and high school would be impossible to find.

These are my grades from this past semester though:

ESCI 107 - The Atmosphere - C
GOVT 215 - The American Presidency - B
ENGL 317 - Editing For Publication - B
ENGL 311 - Advanced Composition - B+
MUSI 263 - Love Songs Through The Ages - A

I'm 52 y.o., and the only grades that I can remember getting are the A's I got in high school Chemistry as well as college-level Chemistry.
Those facts are important to me now, as I am seriously thinking about going back to school to get a degree in pharmacology; I think the most appropriate career change for me now is to become a pharmacist.

Year 11 semester 1 report is released mid June

Also, why is it so easy to get an A in the US? It just seems pointless to grade over there.

I'm not going there entirely, since I've seen the entire spectrum. I was mostly a B/C High School and Middle School, not too much interesting there. But college, that's when things got crazy.

Highest

A+ (101%)
GER 201, GERMAN III
Junior Year, College (2014)


Lowest

F (59%)
BIO 228, HUMAN ANATOMY
Freshman Year, College (2011)

High school I got all A's.

College has been a mix, from A to B-.  

 My general experience is that CS classes are graded more harshly (with the exception of the first couple of intro courses), stats/math in the middle, and general ed the easiest, especially the economics courses.

Bump & updated after the conclusion of my Junior year.

Don't know my middle school and high school grades off hand because I'm not a maniac

Intro to Philosophy: A
Making Sense of the 2016 Election: A
Asian Civ: A
Human Origins of Global Society: B+
Global Climate Change: A-
Contemporary Moral Problems: A
Historic Writing: A-
Second World War: A-
Civil Rights in America: A
Climate Change: B
Geology Lab: B+
Symbolic Logic: A
Philosophy of Language: B
History of Brazil: A
Indian Image on Film: A
Paralegal Principles and Procedures: A
Ethics: A
Buddhist Philosophy:  A
Death in America: Probably an A-, unless I did really well on my final yesterday
Oral History: A
Cases in Civil Liberties: A
Legal Research and Writing: A

I don't remember high school that well, so I won't bother listing.

Off the top of my head though

Multivariable Calculus: A
Differential Equations: A
Linear Algebra: A
Advanced Classical Mechanics: A
Electricity&Magnetism: A
Introduction to Political Science: D (i, uh, tried to do a little something something with the female prof to boost my grade but it barely worked)

too lazy to list the rest

Great idea! For middle/high school I can only remember my average grade starting in year 10, but not the final one. For the record, a passing grade here is a 5/10

"Middle/high school"

Year 10: 8.8/10
Year 11: 9.7/10
Year 12: 10/10

Yes, our grades did get quite inflated at my school, as the last 2 years are the only ones that count for university access.

University (Engineering).

All subjects passed first try (no need for the July repeats)

Year 1

Algebra: 6.5
Calculus I: 6.5
Physics: 8.9
Graphic Expression and Representation Systems: 7.1
Applied Geology: 9.0

Calculus II: 6.0
Physics II: 9.0
Computers and Programming: 9.8
Business Organization and Administration: 8.5
Technical English: 8.4

Year 2

Statistical methods in engineering: 8.5
Hydraulics and Hydrology: 7.0
Electrical Engineering: 7.1
Mechanics: 7.1
Topography: 8.0

Materials Resistence: 5.2
Science and Technology of materials: 8.6
Geotechnic and foundations: 8.6
Construction Technology I: 6.4

Year 3 (so far)

Theory of Structures: 10
Construction projects and handling: 5.5
Railroads: 7.5
Roads: 7.6

Pending:

Urban and transportation services
Transportation engineering
Roads II & Airports
Concrete and metallic structures

My current average is around 7.6, which is extremely high actually.

Best grades in college so far are Theory of Structures (extremely inflated considering I left 25% of the test blank lol) and Programming (extremely easy subject, made me wonder if I should have gone with computer science instead lol)

Closest calls to failure are Construction Projects (I found it quite hard, no idea why; though the teacher was one of the "easy to pass the class, hard to get a good grade" kind) and Resistence of Materials (Arguably the hardest subject in the entire degree; I was actually convinced I would fail, the test was surprisingly easy for the subject and even then I only got a bare pass. And thankfully as that class got a new teacher this year and it's now a lot harder)

A handful of others were close calls as well but I got a grade much higher than a bare pass, like the Graphic Representation one, where I actually got good grades in 2/3 tests but failed the last one (you were supposed to pass all 3). In the end I managed to convince the teacher to pass me.

I might not be so lucky this time though, as I expect to get my first failed class in my lifetime this semester, with Concrete and metallic structures. It's not 100% certain, but still very very likely. I will get it in the June/July retry though, so I won't have to retake the class

Also, apparently while here I am one of the best students in my degree probably; by Atlas standards I would be average at best and a bad student at worst lol

So, uh, how exactly do you get a greater than 100% grade?

Also, is 59% really a failing grade in the US??? Oof

Lol, y'all blow me outta the water!

High School: 2.9

College: 3.0 (3.33 GPA in my major)

I remember being kinda jaded when I got to college and realized that my high school must have been considerably more difficult than some of these puff schools kids were coming from with their 4.33 GPAs, haha.  Didn't help that I took a lot of AP classes (which was awesome, come college!).

Just doing last semester, overall I have a 3.7 - 3.8 gpa.

OCNG 251 Oceanography- B
POLS 231 Introduction to World Politics- B
POLS 233 Politics and Policy in the United States- B
ENGL 310 History of the English Language- A
KINE 223 Badminton- A

Ended my physics class with a 92.

Too embarrassed to post them.

I was a A/B student in middle school, before getting all As in high school to this point (good for a 4.33 weighted GPA).

9th Grade

Linear Algebra at a different school (I think)

As of right now, I have a B in choir though (lol) and my second worst class is French II. For some reason.

Graduated Magna Cum Laude with departmental honors for my BA. My MA GPA was 3.92/4.00, and my PhD GPA ended at 3.94/4.00 (currently ABD).

I don't need Atlas doing #analysis on how much Wulfric knows about x, so I'll just release the main figures:

High School:

GPA: Approx 3.6
Rank: Approx 148 of 543

College:

Major GPA (POL S): 3.39
Overall GPA: 2.79

Yes Generally its like this


60%-69%: D
70%-79%: C
80%-89%: B
90%+ : A


The + and - to your grade varies between universities but this type of grade scale is what is normal.

Dude. You are a genius.

oops I actually got a B with poli sci, I just made a freudian slip with the other letter I put in there lol

Thanks, but I'm not the one taking 7 weighted classes xD

High school GPA was like a 4.6 and a straight 4 unweighted, college GPA around 3.6

It's interesting my high school GPA was pretty poor compared to my college GPA

High School: 3.25 (weighted)
Junior College: 3.81 (business major)
Undergraduate: 3.53 (finance major)
Graduate school: 3.9

Spanish III - 81% B-

Final GPA - 3.32

This is just going to keep getting bumped, isn't it? Ah well, I definitely posted in an old Update thread when I was a significantly more neurotic creature, so I'm probably not sharing new information.

High School: 4.62 on a 4.3=A scale (due to mandatory four years of non-honors Phys Ed, the relative maximum achieved by the top two in the class was approximately 5.07). #19/552

Undergrad: 3.91 with B in Intro Theology, B+ in Intro Business (lol) and B+ in Intro Business Law (thanks pneumonia) | 4.0 Econ/Finance GPA | #1/~200 and #~3/~250, respectively

Grad/B-School: Ask in 4 years! The trend says 3.2 and my educational motivation probably does too :P

I dont remember high school but i finished college summa cum laude by gaming the system

How so?

Chemistry (1st try) F
Chemistry (2nd try) F
Chemistry (3rd try) F

1) Taking a bunch of CLEP and DSST exams which wouldnt transfer with a grade that would affect by GPA but increase my credit requirement
2) Taking online courses at a local community college and transferring it into the University without telling either one I was attending another college. Transferring it would exclude the grade and not contribute to my GPA but would pad my credit requirements.
3) Using Rate my professor to strategically pick the easiest bullshiit classes
4) Finding out my professors biases and just writing them what they wanted to hear. I've gone drinking with some of my college professors. I figured if they liked me enough...they would grade me on a curve.

Closing out Psych with a 98 and Spanish II with a 93. English IV is currently an 88 and will probably end around there too.

I was weak in science and math, but very strong in history, geography, international affairs and politics.

Bump. For any new students starting college, feel free to post here. I'll be updating this well into grad school I hope.

I took Psych during HS and got a C. I guess I'll add that.

I would post them here, but I just can't do it without exposing myself for being the dumba$$ that I am. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't judge.

Didn't end up posting my June/July subjects so here they are now lol. And yes I had the first failure in my entire life and I have to retake the subject (and pay 270€, yikes!)

June 2019

Urban and transportation services 7.4/10
Transportation engineering 7.5/10
Roads II & Airports 6.2/10
Concrete and metallic structures: "Didn't attend" for the first try; 4.0/10 for the July retry

Basically I didn't even turn in the required projects on time. I did turn it in on the July extended deadline, and still failed.

For what's worth the passing grades for that subject were abysmal. Only 4/25 people passed on the first deadline, and literally no one (out of like 15 people) passed on the July retry

This probably lowers my average somewhat, though I guess I remain a solid C student. Which by Spanish engineering standards is amazing tbh, I still passed almost everything first try lol

Are US universities easier or is Atlas full of super smart people? Never seen so many high grades lol

You see, we have a system where people are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to be handed a piece of paper, and a bunch of people who have been handed everything in life whine to their instructors if things are anything less than a B, and instructors have to make grading softer and softer to deal with less complaints from paying customers. The customer is always right. There is no differentiation for the top half.

Teachers would often hand out the midterm explaining that the median was 72 or something, but you know those kids will still find a way to buy their B.

Almost 90 percent of grades are 'A' or 'B' at private institutions. All you need to know.

I saw a bot look at this thread so I decided to bump this:

My GPA is at 3.4792 for this quarter which means I have officially failed at being Asian.  :P Thankfully they aren't like my grades from last year which were absolutely horrid. 

Tbh my GPA is because I am lazy and I don't submit assignments correctly or sometimes don't do them and because I would rather talk to people on Snap or read some article than study.

It still is funny seeing people think I am this person who gets very good grades when shocker, I don't.

Class	Grade
English	89
Biology	91
Presentations	82
Spanish	91
Accounting IA	86
Algebra II	86
Honors Civics	92

i always got straight F's in every class

every day the teacher put me in the corner and made me wear the dunce cap

My BSc was all the dead science's.

Geology
Physics
Calculus
Chemistry

The closest thing to a living being would have been long chain carbohydrates in Organic Chemisty.

Mainly a numerical being. I can solve problems by formulating things into solvable mathematical and physical templates. Then project the results onto planes in 3D space that no one at work knows how to do.

Subsurface modelling of the Earth is something that Elon Musk should get into. When he lands on Mars, he will need resources.

I had Straight A's as a kid because my dad would double check all of my homework.  Is that cheating?  One of my teachers thought so and told him to stop.  He didn't stop because he understood she was not going to move in with us to enforce that demand.

Wouldn't it have been cute if she DID move in though?

.  Still true, even accounting for Grad School since.

I still know my last results out of my head from 11th and 12th grade (or would be known as such in the USA) combined in one result


Geography: 80
Cultural sciences: 75 (more like studying society, politics, media, basics of law and also art movements)
History: 72
Behavioral sciences: 66 (similar to psychology, pedagogy and related subjects)
Natural sciences: 52 (physics, chemistry & biology in one)
Maths: 49

French oral: 53
French writing: 59 (incl. listening, reading & writing)

English oral: 80
English writing: 60 (incl. listening, reading & writing)

Dutch oral: 50 (1/3rd discussing a book you've read (which i didn't), 1/3rd oratory & debating skills and 1/3rd i forgot what the theme was, probably something very random).
Dutch writing: 50 (native language, so a specific exam about some more complex & random stuff about the dutch language)

They definitely knew i didn't read the book, so i got 50/66 on the other two oral segments, probably debated well and saved myself with my oratory skills.

I passed everything, maths technically not but i was able to have 7 points in red for what were deemed as "b-subjects" and maths was one of them as it wasn't a core of the direction i studied in, which meant i was able to pass as long as i got 43 or higher. I think the 20/100 segment on statistics saved me, because i'm just horrible in maths and i have a good understanding of statistics in general, which is easier for me to understand, comprehend and apply to certain things.

Natural sciences, i felt like i messed up big, but somehow still passed it, i assume this is mainly due to biology, while i probably must've gotten almost nothing right on physics, and probably did well on theoretical questions but bad on questions where you have to apply your knowledge you learnt.

I studied something known as "human sciences". The subject I studied the longest for was ironically maths. And you can see why it was necessary.

From elementary school, points were more complex, and i got from mid90s in first years to mid80s or lower 80s in latter years, which was about average or moderately good / slightly above average student, while among the best in my class early on.

I excelled in particular in spelling dutch words in elementary school, almost always the best of my class or my entire grade even.

I disliked swimming and it took till i was 10 or 11 yrs before i learnt swimming, so that was kind of the weakest.

Ironically, i did better early on in math & science-related subjects and weaker in language-related subjects. This pattern reversed in secondary school.

In secondary school, my best subjects weren't always the same. It hasn't been like the always same subject. I suppose it has been biology, geography and history often, maybe chemistry too? I even think it used to be french at some point. And dutch maybe also.

My weakest were early on english. I had a bad year at some point for biology class. Later on it used to be maths, unless we got statistics as the theme of the particular period in which it suddenly was my best. The lowest i've gotten was 14 in maths, the highest must've been in the 80s when it was statistics or very early on, in the first 2 years when i was still good in maths.

In latter secondary highschool years, english and maths if it wasn't statistics were my worst subjects, with natural sciences closely only narrowly ahead, esp. certain subjects like electronics meh. I was below average for english in my class. Little would i have known that that would change dramatically in my life (lol)..... while not even studying for it. I barely know how i suddenly improved over the years, but practical use and more exposure are two big factors.

I also improved dramatically in sports. I used to be about average, maybe even below average in sports, because i was bad in gymnastics and swimming, so I would say i was below average in elementary school, dramatically improved in secondary school, and i got above average or among the best in my class at times. If we discount swimming which i also improved dramatically on since i used to be the worst swimmer of my class (but wasn't the best of my class), i was in certain years the best of my class, in particular on running and endurance related subjects and maybe other athletic and team sports themes. That was weird to me, i also made like a u-turn for badminton, not being able to hit the plume into changing into best of my class again (and still am great in it).

In running contests we did with school i also improved notably in ranking (like against other schools), changing from average into maybe just below the most upper tier, and i also once ran on the flemish running championship for schools, being selected in the last year i've been on that school (which was grade 10).

Grade 11 and grade 12 were on different school and they didn't do those out-of-school activities but i continued to improve and was the best of my class in running in those two years (miles ahead of the other classmates) and was at a certain period great in running (esp. after i've left school, when i was like 18 to 21 yrs). Now i'm a bit weaker since i haven't been maintaining it that much, and probably because I also smoke.

High school = straight C's and D's.  lol.  Always truant.  But the reason I never failed and actually graduated is, well, because I'm an excellent test taker.  For whatever reasons. 

College = polar opposite experience.  Mostly A's, B's.  Graduated cum laude, upper third.  In my 3 years at my university, I literally skipped class like maybe two or three times...my senior year.  And that was because I had a work commitment during my internship.
