I feel like they give those cut-offs when they believe that the course is easy or that most people make between B+ and A- or if they have many “fluff” grades and extra opportunities. In addition to that, one must also note that science courses that have difficult exams (exam averages below 75%) and little contribution of other components to the grade will often have cut-offs lowered. Those cut-offs typically only represent the ideal standard. A difficult course will give exams and assignments that yield a B-/B average or they will simply curve it. The most challenging courses will have a solid B- average and that is kind of rare except in maybe physics and chemistry.
