grading without any point system

<p>In English Comp 3 we got letter grades on all the assignments instead of a point count. So all I know is that 65% of my grade is an A-minus and 35% of my grade is an A. My prof. gave me an A-minus as my final grade. Does that make sense? Anyone take a class with a similar grading system?</p>

<p>Dang I’m taking Engcomp3 next quarter, who was your teacher?</p>

<p>And just wanted to say I had teachers like that in high schohol, extremely frustrating. It’s like A-, A-, B+, B+, B+, C-, A-, A, A…okay you have C+. ***???</p>

<p>well, lets just say an A- = 90% and an A = 95%
.65x90 + .35x95 = 58.5 + 33.25 = 91.75, which by most is an A-.
So yes, your grade does make sense, sorry.</p>

I assume you’re an engineering major. Try to take eng comp 3 with Margaret Davis. Extremely easy class, and Davis was a GENEROUS grader. The class was really annoying since it got so political but I can’t complain because it was easy. And hey, only english class in engineering!</p>

<p>binks09 - under that calculation, yes, its an A-. But at least if you calculate via GPA, her GPA grade is 3.8, which is slightly above the A- of 3.7. Ask your teacher how it was calculated. They may be doing something differently.</p>

<p>Since most of your assignments were subjectively graded, cant you assume your final grade is too?</p>

Good point. Maybe my teacher just used a dartboard.</p>

<p>this is typical of north campus classes. I’m not surprised. That really sucks that you got an A- without any solid numbers. If it’s really a problem, contact a person above the professor (like the dean), if the professor and you don’t agree on the grade. I’m glad I’m engineering…everything is numbers.</p>

<p>So California Community Colleges are using the elevent point grade ( A-, B-,) system ?</p>

<p>Wow, dude. You resurrected an ancient thread.</p>

<p>

I have no idea what you mean by that. No one was talking about community colleges. And there are 13, not 11 letter grades. (i.e. A+ through D- and also F, no F+ or F-)</p>

11

<p>California community colleges are using A as excellent, B as good … No A- nor B+…</p>

12

<p>^Yes, duh.</p>

<p>But he said 11-point. That’s 5, not 11.</p>

<p>Thank you very much for answer :)</p>
