Did terrible with midterm and most likely exam as well :(

Do you usually need to pass finals to get a D in the course?

    Technically it depends on the faculty. In reality though my experience is it depends on the professor. What class is it?

    No one can really answer this because it differs so much from class to class. Generally,yes you need to pass though.

    Unless it says in the outline that you must pass then no. However, some finals are worth 50% so... depends on how much the final is worth

    I've failed finals before and still passed.. but I'm in sciences..i got less than 50 % on a upper level biochem course and i ended up with a B-…obviously it was scaled.

    if everyones doing just as bad, the prof may scale it - theres hope. ive had that happen where i was sure i failed the final but ended up with a B in the course overall.

    It is really depends. In applied science, there is no rule like this.

    Not quite. Computer science/Software systems has this requirement.
