So, checked my mailbox at uni today and found a mini report that listed my grade for my presentation, along with the comments I received
( Read more... )
I'm sorry this went so poorly. It sounds like the professors in charge went very hard on you grade wise. Have any other students presented since you? What were their grades? Were the comments actual helpful criticism or were they just assholes
( ... )
Presentation grades are weighted and taken from everyone's comments (everyone in the room gets a sheet at the start and they give you a score out of 9 possible points; the professors' scores count for a bigger percentage than grad or undergrad students). And no, I was the first and there hasn't been another presentation yet
( ... )
Honestly, A's are few and far between. The person I mentioned earlier that failed a class two years in a row? She was the lowest grade both times, but she was just a few points under the lowest person the second time around. Since someone got an A in the class, it dictated that she would get the C, again.
Well, in our program, As actually are pretty common (I've only gotten one B before this). Of course, that could speak more for how crappy this program is rather than the effort grad students put into the classes. :P
Love that tumblr! Thank you for the link! (Although now I have a new source with which to waste time...)

Also, I believe this is relevant to your situation:

I love this site because it makes me laugh because it is all true (except for a few for me), and then I cry because I realize it is all true.

Actually, even though not so relevant, I love this one (cute!):

And this is how I should have answered most of the questions at my seminar:
