Ended the MAT203 with an A- after bombing the first midterm with a 25. Could not be more grateful 🥹🙏

Please guys email the Bio department for the cut off! It's ridiculous that the avg for exam are low and there's not curve! This is what I emailed:
I received my final letter grade today on SOLAR and saw that I received a D in the course. I previously took this course during Fall 2025, and at that time my exam scores were low because I had difficulty understanding the lectures. This semester, however, I worked much harder and performed better on the midterms compared to last semester, yet | still received a D as my final grade.
In addition, there were multiple professors teaching throughout the semester, which made it difficult to adjust to different teaching styles and understand the main focus of the lectures and exams. I understand that it is the student's responsibility to study and review course material, but I specifically enrolled in the BIO 202 section that originally had one professor because I believed it would help me better understand the teaching style and exam expectations. However, there were several changes in instructors during the semester, and the exams were written collaboratively by multiple professors.
Additionally, the syllabus changed throughout the semester, which created confusion and felt unfair to students trying to keep up with course expectations.
1 believe many students may share similar concerns regarding the grading cutoff and overall structure of the course. I would like to respectfully ask whether there is any possibility of reviewing the grade cutoffs or providing clarification on how the final grades were determined.
If a lot of students complained, we have a chance to meet with the department and raise the grade! This is what happen in Fall 2025!

So…how’re we feeling…80%-82% is a B-…

I am going to be a sophomore next year. But why the limit credits that I can take is still 17 on SOLAR? When I try to get into AMS315 waitlist, it says "Add transaction not processed.  The maximum term unit load would be exceeded." I only have 15 credits except this course.

I saw that SBU offers this major, so I was wondering what you could do with it? What are the career prospects with only the BA degree?

how exactly is that factored in like they just said it's "up to 2% extra credit" ??? to what?? 1 exam?? total course grade?? homework??

For reference I know this is a STUPID question but idk how technical they are around here.

For my degree (BS Chemistry), I was told I'm not allowed 3 C's in my major required courses. I got a C+ on a major course this semester, does that count as a C or is the C+ different and technically doesnt count?

Again, I know this question is ridiculous as it probably does count, but I just wanted to know from anyone that has been through anything like this.

i didnt do 2 labs, i understand that one is dropped but claude is saying i would get a c+ because i didnt do that lab? is this true?

from seniors to freshman what honor societies or clubs and orgs give stoles and cords for those of us interested in applying for some?

hii guys im moving out tmr morning. i’m a senior i have a lot of things i want to donate if anyone wants anything they can come pick it up from tubman

The qr code video on the package doesn't show it

Hi, i calculated my grade with chat gpt and it said i got a 72. So a low b, does anyone know if it’s accurate? I got a 50 on exam 1, 60 exam 2, 84 exam 3 and a 68 on the final. And with workshops and objectives it’s all 90s-100s. Can someone tell me if id fail the class entirely? Or no

I thought the retake policy had a policy of higher grade replaces lower grade after retake. Was that never a thing or am I schizophrenic? I'm looking at my gpa and its combined together

A lot of my friends are graduating without jobs and not a lot of people I know here had any real internship experience before graduating. I don’t have the best gpa so I’m pretty worried for when I graduate. No luck this internship season (500+ applications). it just feels like I’m bleeding money by being here. this semester, my gpa has dropped quite a bit so grad school doesn’t seem like an option anymore. The engineering “internship” I had (for minimal pay) was so boring and barely an addition to my resume.

so, what are some interesting career paths? i enjoy problem-solving and im basically open to exploring any field. I’d love to hear your experiences or success stories! jobs, grad school or otherwise

Did they send arrival information for Thursday’s graduation yet because I only received Friday’s? Obviously this for the Biology Department graduates.

Need to fulfill my SBS+

Has anyone retaken a course they got a C or better in? The website says you can’t but I’m sure people have before
