That's normal though, first year I'm assuming? And also, most of the classes you are taking are very general, ie. they are classes that EVERYONE takes.
haha...depends on the program u in I guess... At McKool...Montreal, first year engineering classes bout 60 ppls...after mid term 40 2nd year, 50 ppls in the being, 25 after midterm...8 fails, 17.. 3rd year, 30 peeks...20 after midterm...lol last year...varies...to 25...\\ really get the attention...with the failing grade at 33 percent ROFLMAO
If it's engineering you are talking about, UT civil eng's got a class of around 100 in the beginning of first year, then down to around 30 graduating...
yea my friends in u of t engineering always tells me how killer it is lmao his average in high school was ridiculous at like 96 or something mine was like 85 lmao but yea he barely getting 60s haha i always smh at him while im pulling my 80s (nojinx) but i am in science afterall hkm, what you said is true though i guess 1st year is only packed because theyre general courses at u of t though, the profs MAKE the average at around 60 to try and weed people out so its less packed but now im going insane in school. gonna get rid of my social life. last night i got im guessing about 70-80 on my calc midterm and checked the posted bio marks and found out that i was ONE mark away from 4.0 if only i worked harder, i couldve gotten that ONE mark. so yea im gonna make the library my 2nd home now... gotta stop going on PA also.. =)
Yeah, that's the same where I am too, professors usually try to "weed" people out after the first midterm - most averages hover around the mid-50s to around 60. Otherwise, if the midterm was too easy, and "no one was really weeded" out, prepare for a grueling, intense, and brutal final! And don't worry too much about that "one mark" away from a 4.0 - it's only the midterm. You should look at everything on an overall perspective, as in how many points you need afford to lose on the final. So say your midterm was worth 40%, and getting X-mark on the midterm would have cost you -X points off the overall grade. And to everyone else about class sizes, it really does vary with programs. I mean, of course, if you are in a specific program (ie. direct-entry from high school, say into Music, Engineering, etc.), you will have smaller classes. But if you are in the Arts or Sciences, class sizes don't really teeter off until 3rd year. In my second-year science courses, such as biochemistry and organic chemistry, there's still about 400-500-ish people (obviously down from the 1500ish in first year general Biology and Chemistry)
Dood...that is still high meng...I was in a class where the mid term average was 35 of 100...the highest was 66...freak,...never saw anything so low...was going to drop...but stuck around... still too many people.,,how many people in the graduating class with the same degree??? Hard to find a job after if everyone got the same degree , no?
That's why third year's "the year" haha-lol But the reality is that many people are aiming for medicine, dentistry, etc. So the competition is not really with earning a B.Sc. and then trying to find work (there's plenty of lab-research types jobs), but more with competition trying to get into a professional program... -_-"
i actually like large classes. if we get about 100 students (10%) of the class to complain about a question on the termtest, the prof actually took it off because it was "worded inappropriately" but yea my university has a set percentage on what the average should be in various years prof even told us this lol 1st year - 60s, 2nd year 65s, 3rd year 70s, after it varies lol being so close to my goal gave me so much motivation i feel like i have this inner momentum i dunno sounds weird but it feels like nothing can stop me NOTHING CAN COME BETWEEN ME AND MY BOOKS HAHAHA... ...
