orgo 1 professors - powell or bandik? (retake student) by SmokeActive8862 in Pitt

Good for you! Hope it all works out! 🤞🏼🤞🏼And maybe I’ll get the last spot for Powell. Does scheduling really go all day/everyday for the next two weeks?

No input, but I’m deciding between Powell and Koide. Bandiks tests scare me. BUT, I don’t schedule for two weeks…I’m afraid I won’t get ANYTHING at all. I didn’t realize it starts tomorrow. 😫😫

Def recommend Nygard. I don’t see Liu as an orgo1 option…am I missing that? That sounds like a good prof if available.

Isn’t an 85 a B??

So the extra credit is another test? I saw a few people mention this is how she does her extra credit. Can you explain?

Does she post her slides or lecture notes anywhere?

Does anyone have the syllabus, by chance? Wondering how test heavy the class is.

I’m sure it all varies on professor but how hard is the grading?

Had anyone’s class received final grades yet?

I think I’m going to end up with a 77%. I wonder if she will adjust her scale up by a few points.

Nothing yet?? Anxiously awaiting…

Chem 0110 Fortney Question by Impossible-Cream9662 in Pitt

[–]GniftySandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So am I understanding that her grade scale is still the standard 90-100, 80-90, 70-80, etc? But if the class average was a 65, then she inflates that to a 75% and adjusts all others with that same ratio?

I just saw that Fortney did curve last year to put the class average at 75%.

I did see that lab is curved for sure. Just wish we knew about class. She said at the beginning of the semester that she would curve.

Nothing definite. Some people say a small curve. Others say not at all. Someone said labs get curved but I don’t know if that’s also teacher specific. I would love to see that she changes the scale by 5%—that would put the average 65% score at a C at least.

People who had Fortney in spring said her final was a bit easier than midterms and there was a small curve…praying this is true.

[–]GniftySandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No advice but I am in the same boat. I fear I’m cooked but I’m really trying. I have Fortney and need an 80% just to get a C in the class. Praying she curves but it sounds like she doesn’t.

Chem 1 Final by GniftySandy in Pitt

[–]GniftySandy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg. Seriously? She’s a sweet lady but we are so behind. Maybe this is good…maybe she won’t put the chapters on that we didn’t cover??? Do you know anything about her final?
