Lowest mark you've ever recieved for a final grade?

[EricW]

Errrm... There's this class that I'm taking and I've left all the studying until the last minute. I was sick for the mid term so the final is 70% of my total mark. The other 30% is from assignments but I didn't do those either.

Realistically, I can see myself getting maybe 25-30% for my final mark. This is not going to look good as my final is tomrorow.

What's the lowest final grade you've ever recieved?

btw, is there some sort of mercy rule where I can talk to advising and get them to let me get a F or some sort of withdrawal so I don't have to write the exam? There's gotta be something for me to walk out with some small shred of dignity that I have left? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Go tell them how you dropped the class however long ago the drop deadline was, and something got screwed up and you are still enrolled.

Talk to somebody in the dean's office, advising will not be helpful here.

You used the word "mark" so you are probably British or something. My advice comes from the American college perspective.

I got an F in a class in college. It was a summer session course - the only class I was taking but I was also working like 50 hours a week. I had some minor medical problems that summer that I used as an excuse to get an extension on the final project and ended up just never doing it. I was lazy in college, but never had any other grade lower than a B-.

I have never made lower than a C in a course and those are rare, but in one course I had the head of the department decided to screw the whole department due to his anger from past classes going on and doin so bad....so goin into the final i had a 92%A and after taking the final which was multiple choice (statics course...kind of like advanced physics for mechanical engineers)....I recieve my grade of a 49% F over all in the course...I called the head of the department and he told me that I got a 3% on the final and failed the course...The failure rate for the whole course was 60% of the students and the 40% that passed most were D's and C's....I retook the course and got a 95% A overall.

lowest in college was a c-, but that was with a bunch of bonus points i got for having to go first. i once got a paper back with comments somewhere along the line of "this is the worst paper ever" (which it was) but i still got a b- because college is a joke

lowest in high school was i believe a d in 7th grade grammar, and an f or two in physics but they didn't count since the whole class screwed up

i could see it happening in a really tough math or physics exam BUT THIS WAS MULTIPLE CHOICE

even if you skipped a question and started bubbling in wrong you should still do better than that

The head of the department put answers A-AF and gave us stuff that wasn't even in our book or ever covered for that matter. He is no longer incharge of the department thank god.

University is a lot harder.
