How many c's do you need to get into college? (UK)?
5 A*-C and B's if you want to do it for A level.
Are c's bad in college?
They are bad in that they imply that no effort was made in the class. You learned enough by osmosis to pass the tests, but that's it. You won't get into any competitive graduate program with too many c's on your transcript, so make sure the rest of your grades show you care. :)
Are 6 classes too many in college?
This really depends on your major and the kinds of classes you are taking. However, in many states, 12 credits classifies you as taking the minimum for being a full time student, just for a frame of reference. In my experience 15 credits is probably kind of around average with 18 kinda a rule of thumb for a max. You should figure for every hour you spend in class, you should spend at least two hours outside of class for study time. So then you are looking at 36 hours a week of study time. If you figure there are 112 usable hours in a week (that removes 8 hours a night for sleep), and you spend 18 in class, and an additional 36 outside of class studying, that leaves you with about 58 hours in a week to do homework and whatever else. That's pretty reasonable. The other thing I'll throw in there is as a rule of thumb, you should never take more than two or three 'problem-solving' classes in a semester. They require significantly greater amounts of time and a greater degree of studying to do well. Try as much as possible to space these out over your entire college career and take advantage of 'bird courses' to help keep your total number of credits up but yet lighten your load a bit.
I have all C's, I don't think I'll get into any colleges?
It's my Junior year of high school, and it's already April. I've been making so many shocking realizations lately that are making me kind of depressed. All through high school I never got anything higher than a C. I'm a junior now, and it's the last quarter of the last semester. I'm a C student with a 2.4 GPA (the highest is a 4). I'm really starting to panic. I know I'm an intelligent individual, but I can't put a finger on why I've done so bad throughout high school. I feel like any attempt to redeem myself would be futile. I'm in a "it's already too late" type of state, which is really bringing my overall morale down. I'd just like some advice as to what another person would do in my situation. I feel sort of dumb, I guess, unworthy, like I shouldn't even bother applying to any college. Here are the classes I've taken so far (excluding electives and phys ed) Freshman Year - 1.French 2 2.Humanities - History and English 3. Algebra 1 4.Geophysical Science 5.Orchestra Sophomore Year - 1.Huamnties 2 2.French 2 3.Honors French 3 4.Geometry 5.CP Biology 6.Journalism 7.Public Speaking Junior Year (Classes I've taken so far) 1.Honors Humanities 3 (Honors CWS and Honors Expository Writing) 2.Honors French 5 3.Algebra 2 4.CP Chemistry 5.Honors Western Philosophy Classes I'm taking Senior Year- 1.AP Euro History 2.AP English Lit 3.AP French 5 4.African Studies 5.Algebra 3 I don't know if any of that even matters. I've played the violin for a long time, I consider it a stength, but I don't even know if that'll help. Any advice/suggestions would be really appreciated! Thank you all!
Is it possible to end up with a 3.0 GPA in college with a C in a class?
GPA is your Grade Point Average. If you must have a 3.0, then you are supposed to average all B's (or better). If you make a C, then you need an A in another course to balance it out. A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D= 1, F = 0. Take all your grades for all your courses, add them, then divide by the number of courses - that is your GPA. For example, if you are taking 18 semester hours (6 courses) and have 4 B's, 1 A and 1 C, you have a 3.0. If you have 5 B's and 1 C, you have 2.833. If you are a freshman, many universities allow one forgiven course, but you will have to take it again (check with your advisor). Also, some scholarships require a 3.0 GPA per year or per semester of attendance (which makes a big difference), while others focus on CGPA - your Cumulative Grade Point Average across all years of attendance - which also makes a difference. Check and see exactly what your scholarship requires.
Why are there so many old people in college?
I am 20 years old and currently enrolled in a community college. I know exactly what I want to get into and I dont intend to change it, problem is I am slacking, for the past 2 years I have been dropping courses and the courses I did not drop I ended up getting Bs and Cs, not bad compared to some people I know who are in probabtion but I can do a whole lot better. This semester was my best so far, gurantee I will be getting an A in 2 of my classes, a B in one of my class and I'm not sure about my other class (Math) but I know I can pass with a C or a low B. I see so many people in their 30s 40s and even 50s and it scares me. If I keep up with my classes like this semester I will be able to get my BA when I am 24 years old.
How many graduate level computer science degrees are given out each year in the United States?
I'll let you do most of the research yourself. There are two places you want to look:1. NSF's National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, where you can find, for example: Science and Engineering Doctorates, where data table 12 tells you there were 2,072 PhDs awarded in the US in Computer and Information Sciences in 2014. I also found a number of about 18,000 Master's degree in CS in 2009 in another report. If you do some digging, you might be able to find a more recent figure.2. The Taulbee Survey, which focuses on PhDs in CS and CE in the US and Canada. It shows around 1800 PhDs in the US in CS and related areas in 2014. The discrepancy with the number above is most likely due to there being only about a 75% response rate among PhD-granting departments in the US.
Are colleges 'failing' CS students who graduate, but can't write code?
If people want to code, they are failing themselves if they graduate with a CS degree and can't code.Throughout their education, they have access to computer resources of all kinds to use for programming. More so than the average person. They have a number of electives which they can use to take and learn from a variety of programming courses.They're surrounded by a higher density of people passionate about computers and programming for a variety of disciplines, including their own.They have easier access to computer science and programming internships, where they can get paid to learn.At some point you have to take personal responsibility of what you do and don't learn, of your actions, of their consequences. If you go to school and graduate with a CS degree without being able to program, well, that's OK. Many of the CS jobs and careers don't require significant programming. But if you wanted to learn to program and didn't? That's on you. It's university, you're old enough to figure that out yourself.
