What is considered a B+ at your university/college?

[etalns]

What % at your university is considered a B+? And what is considered an A/A+?

 

[dawnbug]

University of Wisconsin - Madison

It varies from department to department, and/or class to class. And depends on whether or not there's a curve.

 

[Hyudra]

93% A, no A+ at my school
87-93 B+ I think.

edit: ya Quinnipiac University

 

[necine]

85-89

 

[gar3555]

never had a teacher through 5 yrs of college that gave any +'s

 

[jEct2]

3.25 gpa

 

[AbAbber2k]

87-89 Wazzu

 

[phreakah]

my school doesnt do +/-'s but in most of my classes i've gotten about 70-80 and it was a B

 

[PurdueRy]

Here at Purdue(go figure right?)

90-100 A
80-89.99999999 B

There are no A-,B+,B-,A+

 

[Tiamat]

3.33 out of 4

86-89% B+

A- is 90-94

A is 95-100

This is at Northeastern University. Does not apply to certain classes that have huge curves obviously

I would never have guessed you went to purdue!! omgz0rz.

Thanks for your feedback 🙂

Anyone else?

 

[mugs]

87-89.9 when I was in college.

Why?

 

[ArmchairAthlete]

We don't do +/- but it varies by prof how many A's/B's/etc they want to give out. Usually they go for a bell curve where a small portion get As and a small portion fail, with the bulk of people in the middle.

 

[mAdMaLuDaWg]

B - 80-84
B+ - 85-89
A-90-100
New Jersey Institute of Technology


Sorta strange that B is the only grade that we have a + for 😕

 

[BigToque]

90+ = A+
80+ = A
75+ = B+
70+ = B
65+ = C+
60+ = C
50+ = D
00+ = F

There are no A-,B+,B-,A+

What if you got an 89.999999999... would you get no grade?

 

[slpaulson]

It completely depends on the course at UW Madison.

In my experience, most classes end up getting some form of a bell curve, although not always.

Also there is no B+ or A-, we have an AB.

No of course not! Thats just how far their calculators go...everything else would be automatically rounded up 😉

What's the incentive to going the extra mile to get 97-100 when 90 can receive just the same grade?

The knowledge that you got a 97-100%. In other words, there is none.

the fact that you can slack off for the final and such.

didn't say I liked the system....thats just what it is

 

[RaynorWolfcastle]

McGill University grading
A: grade > 85
A-: 80 < grade < 85
B+: 75 < grade < 80
B: 70 < grade < 75
B-: 65 < grade < 70
C+: 60 < grade < 65
C: 55 < grade < 60
D: 50 < grade < 55
F: grade < 50

edit: in the end it doesn't really matter how you set up the grades the prof always curve either down or up to get a B'ish average at any school
