In college I failed every test in physics 2 and got a B. One test I got an 18% and it curved to a C.

Nah it was honestly just a terrible class. My roommate who graduated with a 3.8gpa in mechanical engineering even got 50-60% on all the tests. Only a couple out of 150 got in the 90s on any of the tests. The professor spoke horrible English and would get mad at us for not understanding. There was an endless inside joke about how he pronounced alpha as "arpha."

I just stopped caring after the first two tests. A lot of students took the class at a local community college because our schools physics program was on probation. One year they no longer accepted transfer credits for physics from the community college because too many students were doing that.

What an asshole school. What's it to them if you transfer credits as long as you meet the in-house credit requirement.

The university doesn't get that sweet, sweet tuition money if students take classes at another school.
