Wow, I wish my professor had that policy. I got a 32% on an exam last week, and the class averaged at 54%. Haven't heard a peep from him about it. I've never done so poorly in a class out of incompetence. I feel so fucking stupid thinking about retaking the course.
I had an engineering professor in freshman year give exams expecting the class average to be 50% of the available points, and just graded on a curve based on how many standard deviations we were from the mean. So a 50 was generally good enough for a B. It was not a statistics class, but I think I learned more about statistics from that class than any other.
I'm just tired of constantly struggling. I wish there was some way to tell if I'm capable of doing engineering, you know? Let me know if I'm wasting my time or not.
Dude, I did really well in grade school despite all the issues caused by my shitty parents. I went out on my own and went to college and watched my grades go to shit. I quit smoking weed and saw my grades improve immensely. I finished college with mostly A's and B's.
Some people can go to class and smoke weed 24/7, but I'm willing to bet that most can't. I definitely can't, it makes me way too lazy. Think about your habits. As long as you read the material you're given you should be able to pass with a decent grade without trying to hard.
