Ha young CHoi Blog #6
Usually not only one professoer can teaches a course. Several professors teach same subject and concept with different textbook, time and number of studnets. Because of different professor teaches a class there are different syllabus, how to rate grade and number of assignments. In this semester, I have been taking “principle of micro economics” course. I looked up the syllabus. I have 2 mid term exams and 1 final exam. I also have pop quizes more than 3 times in the semester I have assignment every week. Here is a problem, one of my friend have been taking same micro economics class but different professor. One day i was doing a assignment in the library and I saw my friend who is taking different class. I asked him “Don’t you have assignment due on Friday?” and he replied “We don’t have assignment this week. We only had 2 homeworks until now.” Our class had more than 4 assignments from begining of the semester. Last week, I took mid term exam and also my friend took the mid term exam. When I saw he’s test sheets questions are easier than what I took. He is learning little different from what I am learning in my class. Esspecially he got better grade than me. I feel bad and envy him because he got better grade. As a different professor teaches same subject, there are different grading systeam that professor want to grade. Therefore students are graded by different standard. It is not fare.

You should study hard, brother. It's difficulties low compared to what we studied for social science back in Korea.
I'm taking the same Micro Economics class as you, but I couldn't find much difficulties campared to Macro-Economics which i took last semester. The fact that all the questions on the exam were multiple choice made it much easier than Macro-Econmics which more than half of questions on the exam were subjective questions.
Hence, it's not the problem of different grade system. According to RateofMyProfessor.com, our professor got highest rate on 'easiness' part.
Messing up only 1 mid-term is nothing when decide final grades.
It's not late, we have plenty of time left so don't be discouraged. Just move on and think back how did we study in highschool.
