If they were taking 5 classes, they'd have 5 grades. And so forth...

That's unfair

For the past three years I've had to take seven classes and this year I'm taking six. And you guys only have to take three! You must be at school for only three hours then. Shucks.

I'm taking five credit hours but only the lower level grades are reported at midterm, i have an idea of my other grades though:
Foundations of Mathematics/Proof Theory - worse than I would like
Intro to Linguistics: 96%
American National Government: 82%
French Literature Topics, Francophone Women Writers: B, don't know percentage
JINS, Music in Religious Thought and Practice: A, don't know percentage

So far:
Chemistry - 83
Accounting - 84
Computer Science - don't know exact mark, somewhere in the 80s
English - low 70s/high 60s... not sure of the exact mark, but I hate that class.

Next semester I have Biology, Physics, World Religions and Math.

Stu and I are in grade 12... In grades 9, 10 and 11, I had to take 8 classes per year (4 classes each semester).. But in grade 12, you can only take 6 courses if you want to, and I chose to.

Every other week I am finished school at 1:15... And get home like at 1:30.. yep. It is great.

I have no grades, suckers! For the first time in 15 years I'm not in any sort of school...Come to think of it, even I was in college I wouldn't be getting grades, we just get evaluations at Bennington, so no more grades ever I suppose.

Perfect Stu · 11-10-2003, 07:03 PM

3 grades for 3 courses. One of my buddies (he's a year older) is only taking 2 courses, the school is letting him because he has enough credits to Graduate, he just wants to boost his marks in a couple courses.

How long are each of your courses? Mine are 80 minutes...

And I don't even know if I'm gonna graduate this year...I probably won't. But in either case, I still can be eligible to go to University, diploma or not. It's a loophole that works like this:

-18+ years of age (which I will be before next school year)
-Scholarship
-Good enough grades in basic subjects like English and Math (I always get 80-90 in English, and 90+ in Math)

So yeah...that's why I'm taking 3 courses. 4 is a full schedule in Ontario.

GameMaster · 11-10-2003, 07:04 PM

80 minute classes! :eek:

I couldn't sit in a class for that long, lol.

Our classes are only 50 minutes and that's bad enough.

That explains the difference in schedule...and you're probably going to have to sit through classes longer than 80 minutes if you're going to University...yep

Jason1 · 11-10-2003, 07:51 PM

At the college I'm going to right now, the GPA scale is out of 4.0. Last year it was out of 9.0. Other places will be different, it just depends on the school.

Hm. Intersting. I learned something new today.

Heh, dude, its one word: valedictorian. heh.

And anyway, when the race is really close like that at our school, they just let them tie and we have more than one valedictorian.

PureEvil · 11-10-2003, 08:15 PM

Yes, Vampyr is correct about the name.

Having more than one is kind of weird though.

valedictorian (n)
:the student usually having the highest rank in a graduating class who delivers the valedictory address at the commencement exercises

(From Merriam-Webster OnLine dictionary)

I believe it's always been just one student anywhere I've gone. Meh.

Yes. And you have no idea what its like to set through SEVEN of those speeches.

The Germanator · 11-10-2003, 08:40 PM

Seven of them?! That is ridiculous.
