Hello. I'm taking CE214 with Shree Krishna. I was wondering if anyone knows if they curve the final grade in CE214? I'm pretty sure that they do it in the MAE Statics. Any help would be appreciated.

The reason why I'm asking. I did well on the first test (26/30) but messed up pretty badly on the second one (15/30) and each test counts towards 15% of our final grade and the exam grade counts towards 35%. I just tend to do relatively poorly on final exams.

not trying to be an ass


but try not to tend to do badly on the final exam

Well... Obviously. But in the past, I have usually done poorly on my final exams.

my point is study your ass off for this one

moreso than you think you may have studied your ass off for previous ones

That's my plan. I have this weekend and Monday and Tuesday to study for CE214 and my other exams (where I'm not worried about passing in those other classes). I just want to know if I have any cushion, to take the pressure off.

dont count on it too much

if you sleep the night before, you haven't studied enough

Thanks, but I'm not searching for at tutor. I'm just wondering if they curve the grades for this class. I guess I'll ask my lecturer.

theres no curving.


but i guarantee you an A... if you dont get an A on the final, then you can have your money back.

^ you seem awfully sure of yourself. I'm definitely hiring you for the summer. I've heard Parish is hardcore.

^yes ma'am he is way more hardcore than what me and Darius were for your Fortran lab.

^hah, I hated fortran. i changed my major and took a class on Visual Basic instead...it's much more useful.

Fortran really isn't that hard. It's like the retard of the programming languages.

4/24/2008 1:24:49 PM

i didnt say it was hard. i implied that it was useless and boring.

4/24/2008 3:08:12 PM

Fortran is useless! HA!

4/24/2008 7:42:08 PM

^, ^^ Yep, you got me there. Unless you work for someone like Boeing. Apparently they still have systems that utilize it.

Fortran isnt hard.....Java is the devil

VB is actually pretty worthless if the goal is to learn conditional logic.
