Can anyone tell me what the grade scale is for KP? What is an A, B, C, etc.
Thanks,
Thanks,
Thanks but I was looking for the number grade to correspond to the letter grade.
Yep, DS had same instructor 1st tri plebe year. Was failing but squeaked by with a C.Thanks for the info. My DS is not giving up. He did his first test in Physics and got all the right answers but didn't do them the way the professor wanted them done and didn't get credit for several of them. He failed the test and that made him mad. He did pass the second test so I guess he is doing it the way "he" wants it done now. Just having to pull up that grade is hard. The professor also told the class as a whole not to ask for "extra" credit work cause if they can do it the second time, they should have been able to do it right the first time. The professor also said that he wasn't grading on a curve nor allowing them to retake the test. Most failed the first test. Now, it is just an uphill climb for him.
He is doing well in his labs and this last test showed him and us that he can do the work right. Just have to wait and see.
I am glad you posted that failing mid terms shouldn't be the reason to give up. I think some of the Plebes need to know and understand that.
Just seems to me that as long as you have the right answer, who cares how you got it.
Not true. You actually can get the right answer but stumble into it for the wrong reason and it turns out you dont really understand the material.
I learned that lesson the taking Statics with Paquette. The first time I took the classs I gotr a lot of rightr answers for the wrong reason and failed the class. The second time I took the class I kept my ego in check and learned the materal and got a B+ ... no small feat with Paquette by the way.
