<p>I saw ucsd has A+, A, A-, what is the usually the % that qualifies for each grade? I understand it probably varies from class to class, but what is normal?</p>
<p>from what i’ve seen, the professors that don’t scale grades use the standard 97-100 = A+, 94-96 = A, 90-93 = A-, etc. a lot of professors do scale, though, which means it depends on how well the whole class does - you can earn an 80% and maybe still get an A in the class, but the curve isn’t usually that extreme.</p>
<p>i haven’t come across a prof that curves grades down yet. so like if you have a 90% but the class average is higher than that, a prof that curves down could make your 90% end up being a C, but a prof that doesn’t curve down would make it so your 90% couldn’t be worth anything lower than an A-.</p>
<p>I took a music class where an A- was 93%+, A was 95%, and no A+</p>
<p>Anyway, most classes are curved.</p>
<p>If you take a class in, for example, Math, the curves get a little insane. MATH109 curve with Knudsen was like 50% = A, 45% = B, 35% = C or something.</p>
