So I pretty much failed that genetics exam
I'm a flippin' moran.
Class average was 66 points (out of 100), I got 36. The tests are curved, so 66 is a B-/C+.
Oy. ;(

No worries :) You know you're smart. I know you're smart. DU knows you're smart. Monday is a new day and a new start. That's what's good about school.

13. Nope-- it's been nearly 20 years since I took genetics...
...which at the time was still *mostly* Mendelian, with only a smattering of the then emerging field of molecular genetics tossed in. It's a different beast altogether, these days.

7. that sucks
Edited on Fri Feb-18-05 09:40 PM by Briarius
I hated tests like that, where the prof writes an impossible test, just because he can. The students know the prof's smart, (s)he doesn't have to prove it by making the tests impossible.

Edit because I did about as well at English reading comprehension as your genetics :D

11. Worse test I ever had
Class average was a 42.

Engineering course -- this was one of 4, 4 hour tests for a course that encompassed all my fresman classwork -- a 12 hour class.

15. Was it a lot of Dominant and resessive gene
problems like Rr x rr = R or r dominant ? I loved genetics. We bred fruit flies with different colored eyes.
