Fallen and I were discussing what kind of things you gotta do to pass your classes/subjects, so I thought it might be fun to see what others gotta do.

It should tell you in your study guides and syllabus.

For this semester...

Quizzes - 5 @ 10 points = 50
Exams (1 midterm) - 5 @ 100 points = 500

Total = 1,100 points

Composition II

I don't understand yours,

I don't understand yours, because if you get a 50% percent here on anything it's a 'F', which means you failed, and if our Final was 90% of our grade and we got a 50% on it we would fail the class.

Well it's just different

Well it's just different systems cause 50% is not an 'F'. So much rides on the exam, in my experience I need to know 80% of the study material really well to even consider passing. Also, everything is done on your own. How do you pass?

Depends on the grade we

Depends on the grade we already have in class or how many points we already have, like if I have a 79% or below I will probably have to get a 80% or more to pass. Really depends on how much your Final is worth though, my husband would never do his assignments at University and he would still pass some classes but would have to retake some because of it too. xD

Ya I guess it makes sense, if I did have other stuff that counted besides assignments and exams it would probably also be a bit more complicated process.
