As a current student I think it’s a big deal between B+ and A- especially when you’re not doing well in other classes.

My problem is not with the professors that explicitly state the grade cutoffs but with the ones that don’t. I have a professor that didn’t follow the traditional 87-89 B+, 90-92 A- cutoffs so when I got my grade it was different from the one I had calculated and expected. Upperclassmen have told me this is common but as a freshmen it was a big terrible shock. I think these 100 level classes should state the grade cutoffs to help freshmen ease into college.

@bluebayou what’s phi beta kappa for exactly? Is it different from the cum laude, magna cum etc?
