Yeah, something around that range, I'm pretty sure I went in to the exam with a mark somewhere in the 70s, and I didn't find the exam too difficult. Heck, I somehow passed math. |

I would just ask to see my exam then, its a long process but worth it.

Also, retaking a course means your final mark is averaged with that 0.. So if someone gets 0 and a 12, it'll be 0+12= 12/2, so a 6 is the highest grade anyone can get after retaking a failed course (which you HAVE to do if it's a required course).

They don't actually average your grade. You get 2 separate marks. The only reason I brought this up is because if you average your grade then when you calculate your GPA you would count your 6 as a 3 unit course (from the example above). However you are actually counting your 6 as a 6 units course, or more precisely you are counting your 0 and 12 both as 3 unit courses.
All courses count individually in your GPA.

Lol, terrible prediction skills.
And it depends on the prof, some might reply to you, some might not.

Hey,
Dr. Landry emailed me 2-3 days before grade release saying that according to the system, I "did not write the exam". I also ended up with a F (or a 0). Dr. Landry told me not to worry about it and that I should come see him when school reopens on Jan 3.
So don't get too upset, it's 99.99999% an error in the system.

for the love of god, don't go into biopsych if you're not willing to sit down and memorize the book. Seriously, I am in biopsych. |

I don't have problems with textbook based learning :\ I did really well in the first psych and I think I'll do well in my bios/the other psych. it's just that this chem caught me off guard what with my work habits >__< but I will definetly pick things up from here on. I don't think that the 6 I got in 1A03 is a representation of what I'm capable of getting.

It could be because you're in the most obscure classes? |

Technically, the professors have till Jan 4th to have them up. Wait till then, then start worrying! I know quite a few people who don't have most marks till now. Don't worry just yet
