Which SEC schools do not use a plus/minus GPA scale?
As in A=4.00 A-=3.67 B+=3.33 etc.
As opposed to a straight system: A=4 B=3 C=2?
According to this article written in 2011

it claims the only SEC schools that did not use +/- system are:
However, I am pretty sure that Arkansas still uses the straight system also, and I heard that LSU is considering changing to +/-. have they made the change yet?
What about Mizzo and aTm?

Now, Auburn, Louisiana State University and Mississippi State are the only remaining schools in the SEC that do not use a plus/minus scale.

Some ole miss classes do, some don't. It's weird, I think it's up to the teacher in the business school

LSU uses straight system and I hope it stays that way.

Ours is straight 4.0, 3.0, 2.0 etc. We're also known to be one of the toughest schools to earn an A in the country.

When I was at Tennessee, there was no A-, but everything else was on a +/- scale. A- was put in place I think the academic year after I left.

straight 4.0, 3.0, etc scale here.
it helped more often than not because most of my teachers took 88 averages and just made them 4.0. rarely hurt me.

Plus minus blows. Suck it up and get the grade

My classes use it and i'm not a huge fan but at least they don't use the scale my high school used (6 point scale)

At Kentucky undergrad is a straight system. Most of the grad schools use +/- scales.

Should just be a 0-100 scale. It's stupid that it isn't. Literally the rest of your grades are on that scale, why convert it at the end? It arbitrarily skews shite for no reason.

As someone who's undergrad motto was "good enough is" and finished most classes with a 89.6 average... pish posh to this sort of thing.

The liberal arts school I believe use it at ole miss and they are trying to push it into the other schools. I had a few professors try it out and hate it for how it can really frick a student.
