12/21 Turns out that I got a lower grade than I expected. If enough people
in the class ask for a recount (all the grades), will it help? Has it
ever happened before?
\_ This doesn't fall under the jurisdiction of the Florida Supreme
Court, but then again, that never stopped them before. Go for it!
Every grade must count! Count all the grades! Even the smudge you
made on the paper in the place where the correct answer might have
been implies you had "student-intent" to fill in the correct answer.
\_ i had a teacher in hs who used to drink wine while he was grading
and get really wasted. sometimes he would only grade half the
exam and you would get a 20 out of 100 or something, and demand
a recount and get a 90. suprisingly, he was a really good
teacher otherwise.
\_ Just don't let the professor stall till the grades are
certified as final.

professors grading scale was too high. (However, if the prof
consistently gives too many bad grades, he will get in trouble
eventually - see the case of Prof. Wu & Math 1A/1B in the early
90's.)
\_ yah, that foolio got fucked up. He's now been demoted
really awful in math.
\_ are those errors as in "Ooops, I read that 3 as a 5 and
misgraded you" or as in "Oh, I guess you answer is correct
mine (prof's) is wrong"
\_ I remember a horde of people dropping math 1a from wu in 91
\_ I had Wu and I think I got a B. What was his deal?

\_ excellent linkage, thanks psb. READ THIS people.
\_ it isn't *that* funny
\_ Yeah, did something happen to Prof. "Hurricane" Wu?
\_ As I recall, he was still allowed to teach but was no longer
allowed to have any part in the grading process including
setting the standards, creating the curve, grade appeals,
etc. That was all given to his head TA. Me? I was there
for 10 minutes of lecture 1 and walked out. I knew what I
was looking at. This was while he was still allowed to
destroy hapless freshies. Any survivors from Prof Shang's
math 1b class still around? Oscillating circles. |
