<p>I hate it. </p>
<p>I hate it so much that I'm awaiting my grades right now and nervous that I just got an A- in something that is going to ruin my chances for a 4.0, again. </p>
<p>I hate 3.9x's......</p>
<p>+1</p>
<p>Those little minus bastards ruined my GPA this semester.</p>
<p>Although it does mean that I have to work harder, I definitely get a lot more out of my classes this way. It’s not all that bad.</p>
<p>i don’t like minuses, but i do like pluses!</p>
<p>Hate hate hate hate minus grades. Why is a 94 an A = 4.0, while a 93 is an A- = 3.67?! It’s so easy to kill your GPA that way. I’m on the A/A- border in one class and it’s driving me insane. An A is an A.</p>
<p>It sure is a fairer system. It creates more separation among competition. It is also nice for those who just barely miss the cutoff for the A, but still get some points.</p>
<p>I hate how an 80 is a C+ and not a B- for my major classes.</p>
<p>I hate it too.
I had 93.7 in one of my classes.
94 is A.
93.7 is an A- (until 93.9… I don’t understand why they don’t round it up!!)
what a bs!</p>
<p>If we didn’ use the +/- system my GPA would be a 3.95, but instead it is a 3.85.</p>
<p>I hated it in HS where I was an A- student… I love it in college where I am a B+ student.</p>
<p>I like it. My gpa would be a 3.88 without it, but instead, it’s a 3.93.</p>
<p>I personally believe that an 80 and an 89 should not be viewed in the same manner, therefore justifying the use of the system IMO. Usually, people hate it when they get a minus, but love it when they receive a +.</p>
<p>I think in theory we could get by with a plain A/B/C/D/F grading scale, without +s and -s. But in that event I would adopt stricter grading standards so that professors use the full grade spectrum. Most of the grades at my college seem to be clustered in the 2.7 - 4.0 range, and professors use ± to distinguish between performances. In the absence of pluses and minuses, I support stretching A and B grades out over the A-C range to have a more nuanced picture than “top half” (A) and “bottom half” (B) of a class.</p>
<p>yeah. i think it would be best if C (instead of B) were the average grade. B would be the good grade, and A’s would be awarded sparingly.</p>
<p>My grades say +/- or in the middle…but an A is equal to an A+ and A-…An A is an A in my school. The +/- is just for show.</p>
<p>I’d be horrified if it were the other way around. Our scale is already hard enough.</p>
<p>
That’s how grades were used at my foreign high school. Getting an A was a huge accomplishment, because there were never more than 2 As in a class of 30 students (and sometimes none). Now that most of my classes have around a 3.5 average, grades have lost their meaning for me. “Another A, whatever.”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t love it because I don’t get any '+s… I get As and A-s.</p>
<p>It’s just way too difficult to get a 4.0 here (with a reasonable amount of classes enrolled in). Geez.</p>
<p>^^^I said usually (i.e. a person hating it when they get a B- but relishing in the fact that their school uses a +/- system when the receive a B+ rather than just a B).</p>
<p>Some schools give A+s as well, so that makes the system more fair.</p>
<p>I hate it because I’ve always been so close but yet so far. A couple of percentages away from a + or a - and my GPA suffers. It’s really annoying but I guess we just have to deal with it.</p>
<p>I understand why it is in place, but I still loathe it.</p>
<p>Case doesn’t use plus/minus.</p>
<p>As you may expect, people on the lower end of the spectrum rejoice while people on the high end want to punch a wall.</p>
