Of course, in graduate school a C would be a failing grade.
Not at LSU. Over 5 people in one of my classes last semester got a C and went on with credit the same as everyone else.

It was in the Psych graduate dept., I can't speak for other areas.

He was awesome. Statics was his best course.

Do yourself a favor, save your a-hole the pain of that first test and switch to Construction Management like the 20% of ME students that don't pass thermo the first or subsequent 3 times.

Here's your next step, life generally doesn't give "partial credit" but Interior Decorators do.
I don't think you realize how hard Art and Design majors are. I took a few Interior Design classes as an elective and it brought my GPA down a notch. My lord it was harder than my major.

Same for SUBR. You can have a C, you just can not have more than 2. Specifically your GPA cant not fall below a 3.0 for any semester (ie probation first, expulsion if you do it again)

I had a professor that I can't recall his name because he retired from LSU after he taught me Thermo 1. If you went to class and kept up with the homework you could do well on the tests. I made straight A's in his class and thought this ME curriculum is not so tough since it was my first ME class. Boy was I wrong.
The professor can make or break a class for you.

Again, there's a reason an engineering degree is probably the most respected undergrad degree. If it was easy to pass, everyone would do it. I know many who got weeded out. Just like organic for pre med (although I believe thermo, fluids, etc. is much harder when you see the sheer numbers that fail.... sometimes 70% for thermo). If passing was so easy, every retard could be a brain surgeon.
One of my favorite quotes from a teacher in class, "come on guys, this isn't rocket science, well.... I guess it kind of is."

Preaching to the choir.
To be fair, I do understand that education is mostly an endeavor by the student to meet the standards.
Unlike the OP, I never had the chance to go over to SUBR to take classes... why cant he do that?

LSU Colleges of Science and Engineering are still maintaining grade distributions around 2.7. Keeping it real.

Got a c without knowing how to interpolate, baw!
Literally would just take the average. Dr C never caught it.

He started charging 30 per session. The dude is making serious money. Every session is packed.

Does Kelly still teach that class? he once wrote lucky guess on one of my multiple choice answers. funny story now but that guy was a dick
needless to say I dropped and took Dr C, almost got an A

Why don't you switch to business major

Had Dr Yanatell for Thermo I. He was department head at the time and felt it was his duty to weed out students. Talked about his 4 pillars of engineering. Statics, Thermo, plaids, kenamatics
After the midterm there was only 20% of the class left. Somehow I got a B
Had him again for Kenamatics. Squeezed by with a D.
Had Dr charmopolis (Dr C). For Thermo 2, was a hell of a lot easier then Thermo 1
Just tool the HVAC PE last October, had to remember all that stuff from way back. Passed it though

I wish they'd split thermo into 2 classes again. It's a lot to stuff into one semester. Also relentless to take an exam and show up the next day since it's 5 days a week. Your brain needs a break.

Back in my day (i.e., during the Reagan era), ME thermo (as opposed to the one taught to PE's, that we caclled "business thermo", LOL) was a 2 x 3 hr sequence in which the first one was considered, along with dynamics & strengths later on, the weedout course for the department (i.e., for those who didn't get weeded out by calculus & physics). When I took that first one, there were originally about 150 students in the single section, and at the end about a third (and a few that failed even from there, I'm sure). It seemed that the regular (i.e., not summer) semester graduating class was about 50, so it would appear that thermo 1 (2333) was the bridge of death.
My instructor was a Turk named Ozer Arnas, nicknamed Ozer Hardass. If all 6 significant digits of R were not used in the calculation, he would deduct "a nickle", and he was very fond of pocketing change in many other ways . I'm not sure how it is these days, but back then, a major part of the work was properly doing interpolations for the properties using the steam (or other material) tables.
I can recall seeing some of my classmates that "didn't make it" later on in the CEBA building, only taking business courses instead (that admittedly had a lot more chicks).
