I checked my college’s website, and it says A=4.0, A-=3.7, B+= 3.3 etc, but I get grades on a 100 pt scale, so how can I know what counts as an A, A- etc? Is there some kind of standard in college? cuz in high school it varied by school.
Look at your class syllabi.
It depends on the professor as well. But generally, 93+ is an A, 90-92 is an A-, 87-89 is a B+, 83-86 is a B, and so on. The syllabus should have everything written out for you.
In college, what counts as an A varies from class to class, and is dependent on the policies of the professor, and whether there are any policies that exist in the department. You need to look at the syllabus for each class individually.
@bodangles @anxiousenior1 @guineagirl96 I checked all 4 syllabi, and only one had that information. It was a weird scale where 100 is a C+. The other 3 syllabi don’t say anything.
Ask your professors.
I do not think you read your syllabus correctly. If a 100 is a C+, there’s no way to get a grade higher than a C+, and that doesn’t make sense.
Even if there’s not a specific scale given, there is likely some information about how the grading scale will be determined. For example, my Orgo class determined final grade lines at the end of the semester, to ensure a rough bell curve of grades. This was explained in the syllabus. A current class of mine operates the same way but with the caveat that if you get a 60% or higher, you will get at least a C.
So I guess my advice would be to read them again, carefully. Feel free to copy and paste the one given grading scale here if it still appears to say that a 100 is a C+, because I really have trouble believing that’s true.
Edit: I’d to if
@TomSrOfBoston yeah I guess that’s the only way to know. I’ll probably just wait and see what happens at the end of the quarter. It’s not like it’s going to impact my performance anyway.
@bodangles it makes sense because it’s 100 points, not 100%. the highest amount of points is 130, which is an A.
Okay, so that’s pretty normal then.
