Chemistry in your studies?

Hey people,

I took a chemistry exam a week ago and got the results yesterday. I was a bit confused, though, as to why I only got a 3.7 when I was expecting something completely different. I don't know if the exam was really difficult, or what everyone's average score was.

Note: This is my first semester

Yes, it’s normal that there are long faces when they get their first grades as students.

You’re not at school anymore. Therefore:

  • A 4.0 is “sufficient”. Target reaches in the sense that you have internalized the subject so far to build on it. This is Success!
  • Higher education lecturers do not have the task of bringing everyone through somehow and somehow allowing everyone a success experience. Therefore, they do not need to include these simple questions in their exams, so that the last depp can also pick up at least a few points.
  • More knowledge can be required in the exam than was explained in the lecture. You, as a student, are responsible for considering what substance is important in the subject and to acquire it; the lecture is an offer to help you.

And just natural scientists (I mean the lecturers) put in
Compared to other specialist areas, higher standards are regularly applied. And
scientific studies will be conducted in the first semesters
deliberately heavy exams written so that the students re-
consider whether they really want to do this study.

Long story short: A 4+ as first in a chemistry module is a completely normal note.

There should be an appointment where students can see the exam – you should use it.

At university, the level is often terrifyingly high, and one has to get used to it.

Maybe you can exchange yourself with your fellow students as they did in the exam.

I think it’s gonna be true and you made too many hopes. You can ask the examiners for feedback and let them explain to you how it happened.
