so /sci/ what was the grade distribution for your calculus 1 and 2 courses? did you break the curve? what grade did you get in those classes?

>> No.3903598

There was a pretty broad distribution, I believe the average was around a 60% in both. I got As in both, and had the highest score in my Calc 1 class.

>> No.3903613

I got an 92% in calc 2. Never took calc 1.

>> No.3903620

Calc 1: A
Calc 2: B- :(
Calc 3: A
Calc 4: A

Fuck year.

Let us say there is a card game called hi/lo with the following rules:

The dealer puts five cards from a full 52-card deck face down on a table, in a row. Then he turns one card up. The player then says whether he thinks the first card in the row is lower or higher in value than the upturned card (aces are low). If he's correct, he then guesses if the next card in the row is lower or higher than the card which has just been revealed. And so forth down the line.

The player only wins if he makes it through all five cards without guessing incorrectly.

With perfect play, what are the player's odds of winning?

inb4 homework, this is a game we play at my workplace.

Calc 1- I had an A up until the last test and final exam (I got sick and missed a couple important things like the chain rule and never got caught up), so I ended up with a high B. I think the class average was something like 70ish. there were people who seriously didn't know the slope formula

Calc 2- Took it over a year after calc 1 (big mistake). The tests were all multiple choice but I worked out an algorithm for guessing the right answers that worked about 60% of the time as long as there were at least 4-6 possible choices. I made exactly a 60. I think the class average was also a 60, maybe lower.

was this at CC?

no, just incredibly stupid people.

my friend took calc 1 the next semester after me (which happened to be summer), and his class was so dumb the teacher had to throw out mad curves unless he wanted to fail 90% of the class. he made like last test a take home test and i think allowed notes on the final exam. I was so fucking pissed that I took it a semester earlier and missed the dumbed down class

Lol, no bell curve. Straight grading. A's were A's, etc.

I have no idea how others in my classes did.

>>3903642
you were just getting to chain rule on your last test and final exam? what kind of calc for retards class were you in?

>> No.3903719

Got an A in calc I and II, averages were in the low 70s-ish.

My proudest moment though was getting 104% on a test in my second semester of chem. The next highest score was 90% and the class average was 55%. This was a lecture of about 200 people.

I felt fucking invincible after that. Hell, still do. That was the moment I realized that I was really gonna make it in college.

Got 75 in Calc 1+2

Was one combined course.

Also: It isn't Calculus if there is no epsilon delta.

Like I said, there were people in that class who did not know the formula for slope

I seriously hope this was not in the US.

Nah we didn't get to derivatives, we just started with integration.
