Would your precalc teacher give you an A or a B if you had a 89%?

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>The grade is with acing the final.</p>

<p>Yes I believe she would.
She is really strict but she would do it.</p>

<p>It depends on the teacher… but my school is out of percents so if the teacher is super nice (s)he would give me a 90. However, most would make me keep the 89. I guess it’s a little different with percents though because the difference between an 89 and a 90 is a lot less than the difference between a B and an A.</p>

<p>Well, an A is a 92% at my school, and the general rule with most teachers is if it’s a 91.50% or above, they’ll count it as an A.</p>

<p>Well normally, at our school for some teachers if they see that you’re a good student and you try and make effort in class, on assignments, etc. they would; however, my school has recently gone all computerized and what not so the computer does all the averaging and stuff. So if you get an 89.499999999% average, you’re going to get a B.</p>

<p>^ fact of life, an infinitely small division exists at some point. Beggars cannot be choosers.</p>

<p>Our school’ll give you the A- if it’s an 89.49, I THINK. Definitely if it’s an 89.50, though.</p>

<p>Well in my school the lowest A is a 92 so…no. My math teacher (whom I had for trig last year and now have for BC calc) would give an A for a 91.4 (because technically a 91.5 rounds up, so he was being nice to the people who were 0.1 off) but no lower than that. Last quarter I got a 91 and got a B+ :frowning: I didn’t ask him to change it, because I know a lot of people end up borderline and I don’t like to grub, but I was REALLY disappointed.</p>

<p>I got a 89.4% in World History back in Sophomore year and I got a B+. =(</p>

<p>At my school, it is up to individual teachers to determine his/her rounding policy.</p>

<p>at my school, the lowest A is a 93; some teachers do round up, but it’s rare (mine did :p)</p>

<p>You’d receive a B. Teachers don’t give out grades. Students earn them.</p>

<p>I freaking have a 92 this quarter for AP Stats. One more percent and I’d have an A instead of an A-. >_< I need that A for the GPA boost. Ugh. Oh well.</p>

<p>At my school, an A is a 92.5 and above.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Same here. My pre-calc teacher would’ve rounded an 89.50, but nothing lower.</p>

<p>For us there are no plus or minus grades-- C is 70-79, B is 80-89, A is 90 and above.</p>

<p>I had an 89 as my first marking period average in BC Calc, teacher gave me 5 extra points on a quiz which brought it up to a 90. :D</p>

<p>Ridiculously hard class… I was so happy I got an A for the MP =]</p>

<p>Otherwise, school policy is to round .5 and above up.</p>

<p>My first semester of Geometry I had an 89.47 ( because I hate homework)
& she refused to bump it to a 90 because I never turned in homework, lol.
I was ****ed.</p>

<p>But my Pre-Cal teacher is a super-cool 26 year old so he’d probably do it without blinking an eye. Currently I have a 94…maybe 95 but we’ll see after finals :/</p>

<p>I had a 91% in Geometry which was an A- and she didn’t give me an A. The class was a joke and she lost my homework tons of times and said I never turned it in.</p>

<p>An 89% is a B+</p>

<p>On the other hand, I suspect that many of my teachers would cook the books so that you don’t end up with an 89.49%. One point of extra credit can do wonders ;)</p>

<p>My teacher wouldn’t have done that, even if I’d had an 89.9. That’s just her policy. But I had another teacher who did, even though I did manage to get a 92 in his class…go figure.</p>

<p>My teachers don’t believe in extra credit, they always say stuff like “That wouldn’t be fair to the other students”.But if the other students cared about their grades they would be asking for stuff like this too when they didn’t get a grade they found desirable but I guess they don’t see that. Especially when you didn’t get the grade you desired due to perfectly understandable situations such as missing school the day before when a topic was taught; only to return the next day to find out you have a test that day on the topic which you missed and the teacher won’t have any pity on you. It’s not like it was taught 2 or 3 days ago when you could’ve found out what was taught.</p>
