Hmf.

It's almost time to jettison this high school life.

I went to Sting last night.

Sweet! He was always one of my favorite wrestlers!

(sarcasm)

Was it a good show?

i woke up this morning in a cold sweat because i dreamt that i got my coleridge paper back and it was a C-. is a C- even a grade? or does it go straight to D at that point?

nelison · Post by **nelison** » 4/12/2005, 9:51 am

Isn't a C- between 60 and 63%?

sandsleeper · Post by **sandsleeper** » 4/12/2005, 10:10 am

idk, maybe at your school, but mcgill apparently doesn't have a C-. we go straight from a C (55-59) to a D (50-54).

Henrietta · Post by **Henrietta** » 4/12/2005, 10:22 am

We have Cs here. I'm probably gonna get one this semester too.

Oh crap, I forgot about the Coleridge paper. Stop reminding me!

Also I can't decide whether McGill's ridiculously wide B range is a good thing or a bad thing.

At my university we had grades as follows (and hopefully Alex can help with greek letters since I'm too lazy to find them myself!)

Alpha plus (though no-one ever got that - my tutor described it as the grade you'd give to god!)
Alpha (no-one got that either - same tutor described it as 'the grade you'd give yourself')
Alpha minus (I got 2 of those ever. They made me very happy)
Alpha double-minus
Alpha-Beta
Beta-Alpha
Beta double-plus
Beta plus
Beta
Beta minus
Beta double-minus
Beta-gamma
Gamma-Beta
Gamma double-plus
Gamma plus
Gamma
Gamma minus
Gamma minus-minus

I'm not even sure those last few even exist, but maybe they do!

To get a 1st you had to average beta-alpha or better
To get a 2:1 you had to average beta-plus or better
And I can't remember what you had to get for a 2:2 or a 3rd.

Oops. I forgot to say that most of the time the tutors wouldn't let themselves be restrained to just those marks. You could very easily get something like:

beta triple plus ? plus ? alpha

gahhh it's not good having to write out the letter names

I think I'd get a gamma minus if you tested me on the scoring system alone :lol:

Hmm...

it almost makes sense except for the lack of an A ++
