My TA has told us grades would not be available until 2/4 so that may apply... I wanna know my grade now!!! I just do not understand how a teacher could possibly think these tests are any good if everybody is failing. Big fat LOL at that one.

I ended up with a 71, which is significantly better than I did on the pre-curved midterm (I had like a 54% on the midterm before it was curved!) Luckily, I still have a little over a 90% in the class, with the discussion yet to be graded. Still hoping the final gets curved though...

all i have to say is this final was an effin joke!! you couldn't study to know those answers. so obscure, you would have to cheat to honestly get an A, or be a member of mensa and be able to memorize the entire book! I feel like I am a straight A student-got an A in statistics!! But a B in this class because of that final. It should test on the information we need to know to practice. Not little random facts or sentences in the book. These questions were not RN board type, they were rediculous. I dont even want to start with the length of the case studies!! I took 335 at the same time, and those quizzes were on the material we studied and wrote on, and they were fair. Im so upset-my straight A gpa is gone because of someone who doesn't know how to teach. Welcome to college.

Even though I ended up with an A in the class...I agree with you. The questions were poorly written and some were so vague it was hard to understand what the question was asking. It felt very foreign from what we were reading. There was a total disconnect with those exams. Also, did you notice that "All of the Above" was often the first answer choice or in the middle as an answer choice. So, nothing was above it?! I noticed there were grammar errors in a few of the questions. Something was terribly off on these exams. I also felt that some of the videos did not coincide with Family Nursing. One video was nearly an hour long that addressed marketing techniques for communities in module 2. It really had no bearing on anything we were studying for this class.

I agree you would have to have a photographic memory of every chapter and then you still would not find the answer in the textbook or in any other areas of study we were given. Some of the questions and the so called "right" answer I have to completely disagree with. There are several that I could argue what they say is the right answer is completely wrong. And when and how these obscure and vague questions were ever addressed in class or readings or any other way to us as students completely alludes me.

I did use the survey to address this issue.

I just noticed the final was curved. Went from a 58% on final to 79.81%. Final grade overall 96.69%

So, I am sure some of you kept your A status due to the large curve on the exams.

Did you guys all take the class in a classroom or online? I'm taking the 5 week online class in July. I was looking for something that wasn't terribly time consuming and difficult. But if I hvae to take a midterm and a final, that may be a bit much.

It was online. The midterm and final are only 20 questions. Not a big deal!
