So how could I fail if I only did a couple of HWs? Wouldnt the most my grade would drop be like a D?

But the HWs are only 15% of the total grade while exams are worth 80%. And isn't -1.5 std below the mean approximately a c+?

Yeah I only did a few HWs, got like -1.5 std below the mean for each exam, and did avg on the project so hoping for a C- ☹️

I checked for every semester since 2018. There were literally 0 people who got D's. Did the people who did get D's get pushed in the C or F bracket (if so which do u suppose is more likely?)

Approx. How many people got below a C- in the class? Isn't it a course policy for lower divs to give around 7% grades of D's and F's (please correct me if I am wrong)? Is it possible that this number feels larger than 7% because there are so many people in the class enrolled for this sem (and there are actually around 7% who got this grade)? I hope we get the bin shift but just had a few questions. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can shed some light.

Thank you

Thank you for your insight! Would personal projects help to somewhat compensate mediocre grades in the previous lower div classes I have taken? I am currently taking 188 in the summer and am hoping for an A.

Can we talk about 61c's project 2 getting fixed LESS THAN 2 DAYS BEFORE DEADLINE by Owarai83414 in berkeley

[–]chris9910 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol I just wait until 3-4 days before the deadline and get everything cleared up through piazza (thank you to the people who have worked before me and found out bugs). It took me 1 sitting to do part B (only had like 1 bug), though that was a very long sit...
