College courses in which you received a 4.0 ?

@creepycoug where you at, ese? Queef some academis out of the Messican twat of yours.

For me: I only got a 4.0 once at UW and it was in "History of Popular Music". No wonder why @DerekJohnson gave me my own shitty little, old man music bored.

I got a 3.9 in History of Jazz because my essay on seeing Chick Corea live at Jazz Alley was not technically gifted writing.

    I got a 4.0 in Theory of Baseball, and in A/V (basically how to set up a movie projector, overhead…etc). In grad school, my gf took History of Popular Music, and they gave out practice tests, of which I aced every one, without cracking the book…don’t know if she was as impressed with that as I was…

    EDIT: My A/V “prof” was about to retire, and he had a signed photo of Jack Patera in his office…he taught him in HS, …csb

    Oceanography 101 was the one I definitely remember. Ocean is not only easy but it's fairly interesting. I could have sat through a couple of lectures, studied the material for a few hiurs, and aced the final. That was a tap in.

    I've made no secret that I didn't have a lot of big time offers out of HS and went the JC route. I had 4.0s in a few real easy ones...math 101, 105 and 107, Geography, Psych 180-something (human sexuality), music history 101. I think that was all of them. I modified my senior year of HS strategy of eekiing out a C in everything to getting the easy As and eeking out a C in any class that mattered.

    My daddy came to UW in '64 to study Oceanography. But our clan is not good at maff and STEM, so Pappa Yella switched to PolySci and being a frat boi.

    Point of clarification - are you talking 4.0 in ONE class or 4.0 totaling up ALL the classes?

    *one class

    I don't remember, but if they gave grades for drinking on weeknights and giving no fucks about how I felt the next day, 4.0 would be the floor.

    Well, let's see here. Undergrad is a challenge to remember, but you make (intentionally or otherwise) a good point: UW's grading system either helped you or fucked you, depending on which side of the line you tended to land. If you were a consistent high 3.7 or better, then at a letter grade school you'd get an A and all 4 points would go into your GPA. It cut the other way too, so again, depending on where you tended to land.

    I got some 4.0s in B School in the BCON series because there was a professor at the time, Dudley Johnson, who just gave them out and I loaded up. I did pretty well in the Finance courses, in the 3.5+ range, and the Org. and Mktg. courses were a fucking joke. I'd say my B school GEEP was like 3.7 or so. I think? I really slacked on the back end of those requirements. Hated it.

    Philo was harder but I did better there because I liked it. I had to work because those goons in their sleepy wing of Savery Hall were brutal graders, especially papers. I loaded up on Ken Clatterbaugh, who was a brilliant professor there and who liked me and the way I thought and wrote, so I probably wound up with 3 or so 4.0s from him. I never got below a 3.5 in Philo, though one class pushed me to the limits to get that 3.5.

    My greatest accomplishments at UW for me were, bar none, a 4.0 in Calc., given who else was in my class, a 3.8 in intermediate logic (hard class for me), and a 3.7 in Continental Rationalism with a weird old prof who's been dead for years now. Can't for the life of me remember his name. Tall, gangly, quiet fellow with a messy beard who never took off his blue rain jacket. He wrote on the board 99% of the class hour. He told us on Day 1 to take good notes of what he writes on the board. I listened, and managed to regurgitate that very same information on weird shit I barely understood into blue books. Descartes I understood. The rest was a little too abstract for me. People in my little sphere of influence thought I walked on water because of that 3.7. That fucker failed people without a thought. I remember one of my friends approaching him about his 2.whatever on his mid-term and the guy said, "that grade reflects your work, which was pretty good." He was serious that a 2.5 or whatever was "doing ok! Good job!"

    I got a good education at UW. That school made me. You can get a good one anywhere if you work hard and go get it. My impression is that a decent % of UW undergrads are still there to play grab ass and aren't looking to become intellectuals. Where Washington is really elite at the undergrad level is in applied STEM. Very different subset of people in those programs.

    I had a few occasions to cuss the numerical grading system for the reason creep mentioned. Fucking 3.7-3.9 should've been 4 points you bastards!

    Yes, but with the Mom's golf clubs reveal, you are no longer qualified to wrap yourself in the clothing of the working class.

    I always knew you had too much attitude to have dirt under your nails. Always suspected you ran with the Indian Summer crowd. Probably banged a few Capital High co-eds on the back 9.

    Working class my ass.
