No it has nothing to do with the eclipse IDE.<BR/><BR/>They (professaurus tacticus) try out all possible methods to continually overwhelm (eclipse) their students. They do so by adapting "cool" techniques in class.<BR/><BR/>One such example is; setting a wrong question for an exam, and then coming by 30 minutes after the exam has started and saying,<BR/>"Guys, there is one wrong question in today's paper, it is deliberate. I would give full marks to anyone who can point out the mistake!".<BR/><BR/>Bah! I mean what harm is there to tell that that there was a mistake on his part (maybe even a printing mistake!) and he is sorry he came in late! Nope! They had to eclipse you, so that they retain control in class.

Only mention of cutoffs in OS syllabus, quote:<BR/><BR/>"Cutoff points for grades will be set by the course staff based on an examination of the quality of the work turned in by students near the border. Likewise, individual students, especially those near a cutoff, may receive adjustments upward or downward based on factors such as quality improvement, final exam scores, dramatic differences between partners, or other circumstances relevant to the estimation of the staff of which grade best represents the student's work."salutations_americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08261986214347261561noreply@blogger.com
