Who's at fault when students fail?

What GPA did you graduate with?

I was a straight A student through high school. In middle school, I was a bit lacking with B's and even a few B minuses. Then they threw me into Enrichment classes and I sprouted.

We don't have GPA's...

Do you have any percentages, then?

A = > 80

B = 70 - 80%

C = 60 - 70%

D = 50 - 60%

E = 40 - 50%

U = < 40%

?

Well...

A = > 80

B = 70 - 80%

C = 60 - 70%

D = 50 - 60%

E = 40 - 50%

U = <40%

?

A = 90+
B = 80-90
C = 70-80
D = 60-70
E = 50-60
F = 49 and below.
I = Not finished/Incomplete.

Mr Tom Cat, you seem to know what you're talking about!

Well actually, I was looking for something in the tricarboxylic acid cycle's reaction sums that went missing.

You mind filling in the blanks? Since you got such good results?

---------- + 3 NAD+ + FAD + --- + Pi + 1 H2O + 1 CoA-SH &#8594; 2 CoA-SH + 3 NADH + 3 H+ + ---- + GTP + 2 CO2

Acetyl-CoA
GDP
CoASH

but that one is slightly wrong. I did genetics not biochem.

I am a student but im past thar child stage now.
Not all students are children!
But college students, should be expected to have grown up wheres a lot havent. I have to suffer being around many immature ones each day. So i do have to blame the teens because they are the ones giving tutotrs grief.

Nice... I almost put Nottingham as my Insurance. I'd never get in any places like Imperial, not straight from high school anyway. Sadly I'm only really a B-Grade student.

I got into Kings eventually, but again I had to go to Nottingham first. I was an A/B student. Less people went in the eighties though Spoony.

Krebs Cycle = tricarboxylic acid cycle = Citric Acid Cycle.

And naturally, you're wrong. You're missing NADH, which is the reduced form of Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide.

Took you look enough. Search Engine actin' funky?

I personally say that it is partly how they are raised that makes them so immature, however they are responbile for their own actions.

A level doesn't ask for all the changes and yes I do. The one your using isn't right by the way.

I didn't use a search engine my simple friend.
I have a degree in Biology from Nottingham, my post grad study was on Kluveromyces marxianus a kind of yeast and how it produced pectinase for the food industry. Bad luck looser.

I have a degree, I don't believe you.

🙂

Now if you want to discuss enzyme dynamics. 🙂

I assume the threads about high schools students in which are usually terrible. When i was at school i blamed a lot of it on the teachers.

You're right about them not asking for all the changes... It's BYB4, I did the exam in January.

When you reach 6th form the immature people dropout... I love 6th form.

LOL i have. Yet still, there are many immature teens around. Probably going to get them everywhere. My friend is nearly 18 and acts like an 11 yr old so i assume your never going to get any college of all mature students. In fact this cannot be aimed at everyone because there are several very grown up 16 year olds in my group.

I don't excel in enzyme dynamics as you don't excel with the CA Cycle, it seems.

I'm a physics guy. I am a Mechanics Engineer after all.

Want to discuss Macroscopic Thermodynamics? 🙂

Although my neice is on for an A. So I must be doing something right.

I'd do an effernescent wave if you want, i used that for immuno assaying. That's quantum energy fluctuations in visible light.

I did the CA cycle as an undergrad twenty years ago.

There isnt to a certain extent though. Howver the immaturity of some in my group (throwing pencils at people, hitting people) just goes over the top. I have never been that immature, my immarity is in speech when i am immature. And some talk can go overbord too.

Actually i'm not wong it was just incomplete.🙂

I gave all the others, if I used a search engine I wouldn't have missed that. I think it was because you had it laid out slightly wrong.
