I worked on a final project for goddamned six hours straight at a time, and then I get a 75% with no explanation? Bullshit.

Mind you, right now I'm fairly pissy right now due to having to get up at 7 AM, so if you want to--disregard this thread. :-|

 

[goodcow]

Uh... ask for an explanation.

 

[Matlock]

"Why?"
"

[Ecrofirt]

maybe some of your data was wrong?

 

[Matlock]

Kind of hard for incorrect data when you're running countifs and making your own categories for custom responses.

 

[Ecrofirt]

well, there's a simple solution to all of this, but typing it out will get me banned.

alternatively, you could find out what the fuck happened.

Sounds like teacher may use a Bell Curve for their grading system, and you just happened to end up right in the middle.

 

[Ghost]

Isnt 75% a 1st? or an A whatever the top grade is? I know that here getting over 80 in our final year projects requires you to do something truly superb that's beyond what was asked, though im studying computer science so i guess thinking outside the contraints of the problem is a little easier to do.



But just ask if your miffed.


p.s. 6 hours a day? sissy.

At my school a 75 is a middle C.

Where do you live, on the moon? 100% is the most you can get. 90+ is an A. 80-89 is a B. 70-79 is a C......and so on.

If your spreadsheet has 6,000 cells, can you imagine how many teraflops that thing must be pumping out!!!!!! PS3 IS GONNA ROCK!!!!

Your job offer from EA is in the post.

In UK universities the top 20% is reserved for true excellence.

Yeah, well here there is no excellence. 90-100% is good, and anything else is...eh.

 

[fennec fox]

The Excel spreadsheet I keep track of my game-mag collection with has 11,774 cells. And I got no credit for it! So sod off!

 

[Matlock]

Yes, but you're not expected to make statistics out of "go karts" and "black people."

 

[Deg]

Not quite. Some places you need little over 50% to get a 1st. Varies per university.

Yeah but how hard is that? Sounds like a nursery job
