Spring Semester Standards Higher Than Fall Grades
Largest Number of Failures Found in Gym Classes, While Physics is Second
Grades are 2.66 per cent higher in the spring than in the fall, according to computations made from a table showing the percentage of student credit hours. That is to say, that grades in any given department of a school usually be 2.66 per cent higher in the spring than they were in the fall.
The reason for the lower standards of grades in the fall, according to Miss Elise UcuenSchwander, professor of romance language, is due to the fact that at the opening of school the classes are not homogeneous. In the first place, the student, during the summer vacation, has been forced to study two subjects and must again get into the habit. Too too, there are always new students at the University who must first get used to university life.
"Gym" Classes Are Fatal
The greatest number of failures per hundred students for the fall semester 1921-22 was given by the department of physical education, which handed out twenty-nine flunk Physics and chemistry tied for second in grades. After several universities, while mathematics ran a close third with a total of twenty-one. In the spring, physical education failures far outlasted all other tests in the race with an average of thirty-three flunks per hundred students.
In the fall semester, 1921-22, no failures were reported by the departments of public speaking, design, and the School of Medicine at Rosaleda. One failure per hundred was given in botany, and two in sociology, home economics, machine construction, and in the totals of the Schools of Fine Arts and of Educa-tion. The other failure was the School of Medicine at Rosaleda, and the descrip- tion of design still held the lead with no failures.
Most "A's" Given in Music
Twenty-five "A's" per hundred
students were given by both the department of public speaking and the school music teacher while twenty-four were given out in the School of Medicine as a whole. The least number of "A's" for the first semester was reported by the School of Pharmacy with an average of 3 "A's" for the entire school. While the percentage of "A's" in the fall, so great as in the fall, there was an increase in the "BP" class over that fall.
The computation further shows that "C" is almost exactly an average of two falls, a student gets a little less than a little more than "C" in the spring.
