[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this is how a lot of college courses are graded, especially STEM related classes.  may as well get them ready early

10% HW
90% tests/quizes/final

[/quote]

I don't know what colleges y'all went to, but that was not my experience. All of my classes were a mixture of homework/practice, class participation, tests/quizzes and group or individual projects. It was never 90/10.[/quote]

University of Maryland
2-4 tests per semester in math classes
1-2 tests and 1-2 papers in business courses
4-6 projects (in class usually) for coding courses

Work was assigned (readings, coding project practice) but never graded. I’m questioning where you went.[/quote]

Went to UMD as well. My courses were a mixture of what I already said.

You took more math and coding courses, which I didn’t take. But still, it was always a mixture of what I said:

-Participation
- Notes/Discussion/Homework
- Personal or Group projects
- Tests and Quizzes[/quote]
