Apparently they let Heather Dinich put that together.

Every time I look at it I see another one wrong. Incredible! I'd love to hear the story behind how an ESPN screws that much up on one page.

Every line has an error. I don't even recognize the one beside Tennessee.

I've gotten a 50 on a test before. Thankfully I'm all that saw it!

 

[RocketDawg]

A friend of mine and I were taking a Compressible Aerodynamics course from a professor who later became the department head. Just before we got a test back, my friend said ... geez, I'll bet I didn't make 50 on that test. He made a 19 .... We've all had days like that. But he was married and had two small kids at home ... don't know how he ever got through that curriculum.

I think my worst ever was a 35 on a Calculus III test from Mr. Temple.

Mine was a 29 on the Cal II final from the male Dr. Scarborough.
Everyone in the class had been making failing grades on every exam to date, but he always ranked, so we'd get 50 or more points added to our scores.
Turned out we had a 16-year-old Asian child prodigy in our class who hadn't bothered to show up for the earlier exams. He got a 98 on the final, and I dropped from an A for the semester to a C.

EE here. Thankfully no compressible dynamics or I might have beaten your buddy.

Mine was a 18 on Cal3 under Scarborough.

 

[RocketDawg]

Well, I only took two EE-ish courses ... Circuits and Electronics (both for non-EE majors). Never really understood any of it, and that was in the day of vacuum tubes. The fluids courses weren't too bad. I guess there's something for everybody.

My course from Mr Temple was in the late '60s. He didn't scale, or rank, grades. As I recall, the class had 24 F's, 2 D's, and 1 C. I took it over the following summer and had him again! But he had mellowed ... heard he was put on probation after our first class. I had the next math courses, Advanced Calculus for Applications, and Differential Equations, from Dr. Rhody ... an elderly woman who was a fantastic teacher.

 

[RocketDawg]

Don't know when you were there, but in the 60s, Calculus was given in 3 courses: 5 hours Calculus I, 3 hours Calculus II, and 5 hours Calculus III. That course met at 7 a.m. M-F and Temple locked the door promptly at 7. Worst course I've ever taken.

Got a 17 on a Calculus II exam from Dr. Smith. Still managed a C in the class, which I consider one of my greatest academic achievements.

Mine was a 18 on Cal3 under Scarborough.

Don't you just hate it when that happens.

A zillion years ago I took a summer graduate finance class at Penn. No one made above 40 on the 4 tests that semester except a 18 year old guy from Tokyo. He had 3-100's and a 98. Go figure. The teacher thought it was hilarious and chided the class unmercifully but ended up ranking off the second highest grade.

Work ethic has a lot to do with it. But they really are smarter than we are.
