What's the FASTEST/SLOWEST You've Ever Gotten Your Final Mark?
((Help me waste time and pretend I am spending it well because I am talking about some sort of exam in some period of time...))
Did an exam today and was thinking about it on my way home. Unfortunately I can't remember any of mine, but it was nothing spectacular.
Of course we all know it takes a long time, but anyone ever had some freak course that had final marks up the week after? Or the opposite?

Fastest: the day they said marks would start being posted.
Slowest: about two weeks into second term for a first term mark. Strangely enough a few of said second-term courses had the first-term courses as prereqs so I didn't even know if I was eligible to be enrolled in those courses at that point.

Three or four days at the fastest and end of May (about a month) for the slowest.
Graduating students get their marks by mid-May! Everyone else has to wait! Mwahahahaha!

The fastest I ever got was the first day marks were to be posted, and it was only like a week after the exam.
The slowest was when I had my exam on the FIRST day of exams, and I got my mark on the absolute last day they were to come out (I think it was January 11, when transcripts came out). I was frsutrating because it was a multiple choice exam, all on scantron (Communications 1A03). No idea why it took so long.

After third year April exams, I didn't get around to checking my marks until October. I just didn't care.  |

Already got back the exam and final marks for a course i wrote the exam for on Monday. Hooray for professors who post marks themselves on ELM.
As for MUGSI, I've had multiple grades show up on grade release day during the regular term. In summer, you can use degree audit to see it ages before the release date, but for some reason the have it all asterisked out during regular term. Darn.
