Final overall grade > 50 means you 100% passed this course right? Why I calculated my final exam grade is 49 but I got a 59 in the end

If there was a pass exam condition and you still got above 50 then yea you’ve passed otherwise you would get an automatic 46.

The outline says if you fail then your final grade would be your exam grade. Why would it be 46 automatically?

I feel for you guys. Had to repeat 239 back in the day, a decade ago 😥
In the end it will all work out.

Is this where the automatic 46% come from?

That probably means you failed the final :(. The outline says “if you do not pass the final exam, then your final grade will be your final exam grade”.

yeah i know but i genuinely understood the content well so i dont get how it happened. i think its probably because the test was so long :(((((((((((

I would have taken a 50 after that final and I did significantly better than that so I'm happy

I wish, but it would be better just to enroll at it again for the fall

I got 46%. But the outline says “You must pass the final exam in order to pass the course. If you do not pass the final exam, then your final grade will be your final exam grade.”
So is my actual exam grade 46%? Or it’s just an automatic failed grade, I don’t know!

I think, if you fail your exam, you get either 46 or the normal grade calculation, whichever is lower
