Spring 2023 - Wow this class was something else. merlic was a fantastic lecturer and the content was so interesting but the grades were so all over the place? There were weekly quizzes (STARTING WEEK 1?!) and he did not explicitly have a grading scale so he would just curve individually. The class average was always an F or a D- which was kinda funny, but even though I scored higher or equal to the class average on every exam I ended up getting a B-?.... also I know someone who got below the average on every exam but ended up with an A- so I'm really confused. I guess he grades on how drastically your score increases not on how high your score actually is compared to the average.
