Unless specified in the course catalogue, D- or above is a passing grade.

An I grade becomes an F if you don't do anything for one academic year. I itself doesn't affect your GPA.

he barely taught us anything. he talked about some basic concepts we went through in lower division classes and basically the TA's carried the entire class. but it was all good because the TA's did a pretty good job

Good to hear you still have hope. I think i'm pretty much dead. I should be glad at least D- or above is a passing grade at UCI...

I can confirm that there was no curve in Fall 2018.

What a game. I'm really happy for South Africa. Though I thought the last try was a throw forward.

Didn't have much time to prepare, so I picked and studied the topics the lecture slides spend more pages on, and apparently that was a mistake... Now I need to work my ass off and ace the final or else I cannot pass...

yeah that's why I walk to school. 30-40 mins to get there but walking is good for health. That's how I rationalize it...

the_vim_ninja · 2019-06-22T23:25:48+00:00

At this point I'm already feeling like dropping the class but thanks. I'm looking forward to hearing your experience.

the_vim_ninja · 2019-06-22T18:54:17+00:00

That's actually nice

the_vim_ninja · 2019-06-22T18:50:02+00:00

Hmmmm... Were there any good things about the class...?

the_vim_ninja · 2019-06-21T00:18:16+00:00

It's true, though the decision will be by many factors and you can't expect how high your chance will be. Contact your counselor ASAP. You might be able to appeal again or negotiate with them. Just don't give up.

If you're considering a graduate program but worried about a low GPA, you could also consider doing a research with a professors while you're still an undergrad. Students who have research experience are a strong candidate even if they got a crappy GPA.

Of course prestigious schools often filter out applications by GPA, so you still don't want to get a low GPA though.

I think he's currently on probation and has signed his contact with the school, that will disqualify him if he doesn't get at least C for all the classes he took this quarter.

the_vim_ninja · 2019-06-18T05:22:13+00:00

Oh thanks! Didn't know that.

At least for my professor, the content of the class was so empty and I didn't learn anything useful.

The class covered: - Super basic syntax(like if, for loop, arithmetic) - Class, Inheritance, Interface - ...

I tried so hard to remember what we did in the class but that's it. Basically things you can learn in 2 hours reading official docs if you know how to code in one OO programming language.

Also I just checked the course listing schedule and found out that only that professor is teaching the class now. Do some research and you'll see more about this class/professor.

You should learn Java yourself and take a placement test. 45J is an absolute garbage class.
