Re: College Exam and Class Averages
My first year as an engineer averages were horrible, sometimes bottoming out in the mid 30's for the course - which were weighted and then brought up to a C. So i.e. a 50 (F) would be a high B or better at times.
However, now in the School of IST, it is much different. Due to the way the curriculum has been (is being) developed, there is no "give". The classes are all projects (6-12 projects a term) plus a midterm and/or final. Your grade is your grade, no bonus, no weighting, nada. It's a very entrepreneurship world they are trying to design, usually graded by your peers (in class, additional onlooking classes) and several faculty and professional advisor's.
