Dear Tipsters, I was interested in the a/b/c/d links to percentage grades.
At our university, we still work with raw percentages. However, at one time, we did use a system like this: A, B, C, F As Stephen has pointed out, 50% is the pass and was the cutoff between A, B, C and F. But for your interest, these were the definitions of A, B and C: A - 80% and up. B - 65 to 79. C - 50 to 64. Sincerely, Stuart ___________________________________________________________________ Stuart J.

As you probably, and correctly, assumed, I am very torn about this one. Nothing is ever clear cut and I will continue to consider all that you have said. Each of you who has taken time to answer has provided me with food for thought. I appreciate your rationales and will continue to consider all of them. I don't know how this will turn out, maybe it will be easier than I suspect, maybe not. But again, thank you all for your responses. Carol Carol L.
