It probably makes students who would have a 3.5 average (B+/A-) on a traditional system work harder to get the A- type grade since it would factor in as an A; on the other hand it would make students who would have a 3.0-3.3 average (higher Bs) on a traditional system slack off since they can get away with a B- type grade for the same GPA.
