How do you not get 100% on a take home test regardless of subject??

And if you are on a full ride and that worried about keeping I would suggest you get better grades in your other classes.

Hate to break it to you, but often life isnt fair and I doubt the board gives a shit.

Whats he gonna do if more than 20 people make a 100? pick straws for a B

Didnt read everyones posts but your first few, I would 100% bring it up to the teacher (the more people you have with you the better if you want something changed)

100% people will cheat on this

College / University is just to prepare you for life in the real world..

Life in the real world is not fair. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Honor system eh?

Well, just do your best without cheating. Don't worry so much about the grade because once you go to higher level classes like strengthen and materials, you'll have a stronger knowledge on that stuff.

Man, life is always gonna be unfair and we just have to move on. I remember when I transferred to a university and there were always a big chunk of the class that cheated/worked together in their own ways. For example, in my assembly programming class, there would be about 40% of students who have good networking and find old exams to study.

Blah. I think bottom line is if you just go through school being honest and you will gain more in the end. My younger bro has been in a lot of situations that you've been in but he doesn't cheat and still able to get valedictorian in high school and still maintain a 4.0 until this day in college.

There are teachers that give the class to vote whether they want to have a take home or in class, and most of the time at universities, the take home would take you 2 weeks to finish or so. If ever given the choice, always choose in class test =]

what school is this? I am pulling a B average without studying right now. Dynamics is cake. But really, its a take home test and you got all the resources to help you out plus its not cheating to get "help". //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Washington state university.

My dynamics teacher is italian and barely fluent in english. All of our homework is realistic situations with numbers to work with.

All of our test are theoretical derivations. If you cant derive every equation in a realistic situation, you wont pass. Our last test we had ZERO given variables. Answers are represented by derived equations.

the bell curve is stupid.. its a way to cover up for the teachers... if they give a shitty test(being to easy) then it won't appear so grade wise.. If they don't teach well enough the same still get an a,b,c,d,f so it won't show.. Its bullshit.. your learning should be teacher-student dependent... not student-class dependent.. Because see it this way.. what if everyone does relatively well.. someone still has to get a D and an F

What is a non-realistic situation? Maybe, I am getting taught easy dynamics. Also, my teacher is Russian with a very bad accent and bad English so I feel you on that one though.

I do agree with the bell curve being bullshit.
