[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t freak out if your kid got a 50% on a physics or calc test, chances are there will be a curve and 50 —> 80.[/quote] Why would you know your kid's test scores? Land the helicopter. Back in the day I had the top score on an exam in quantum physics with a 34%, which got me an A. Curves are real. [/quote] Because they call you crying because it’s the first time they’ve gotten anything below and 90. Most kids don’t even know what a curve is. They also don’t know you can drop a class at a certain date and it doesn’t show up on your transcript.[/quote] All my engineering profs put the curve up on the screen when they handed back the exam. They literally plotted the student scores and drew lines to show the cut offs. I can't imagine any engineering student calling home because they didn't understand a curve. [/quote]
