Scared of Ochem un-curved B-

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

Was your Ochem grade curved?

Sorry if my earlier post confused anybody. I wasn't trying to troll, and I forget sometimes that SDN is legitimately hard to tell (I've read entire threads not sure if it was a joke...and it wasn't).

It was my way of saying: don't sweat that B (-)

Whoever has an uncurved ochem class must have had significantly easier tests.No one in my classes got within the 90s on a test.

My point is, if there are people getting A's in your class, then you don't really need the curve.
 
I'd prefer not to, for anonymity's sake. It's a tiny state school in the Northwest. I'd eat my socks if anyone here has ever heard of it!
No problem, congrats on being the most hardcore place I've ever heard of though. At most universities a professor repeatedly failing over half her students would cause quite a ruckus

Disagree, my Ochem 1 at Wustl had exam medians in the 30s and 40s but there were always those half dozen kids (out of 300) breaking 90s, little genius bastards.

I'd be curious to know where you went. Not a single individual scoring within 90's is odd. Small class sizes? Hard exams? Bad professors?

Yeah, to be fair I went to a smaller school (ochem class size was about 60-70). Prof was good, I think the tests were just hard, at least in comparison to the homework. Plus just having a smaller class ensures a smaller chance of having those smartasses in the class. Maybe I just got lucky
