re: plus/minus grade scale GPA

Just finished up in the summer and I remember reading something concerning this. Think we are changing to a plus/minus scale. I could be wrong

I would really hate this because I had a couple of difficult classes this semester that I BARELY scraped a low B and I want credit for that B...not a B-

shite was ridiculous, I had to really push at the end for those B's.

I think it would be ok if any A was a 4.0 then B+ 3.66 or whatever, B-3.5 or something like that and then B- 3.0. then so on for the other grades. It wouldn't hurt you in your case of getting a very low B. It would reward those that had high grades without punishing the lower end of the A's

Well first off, more than anything else, I think it adds complication that doesn't need to be added.

But from a personal standpoint, I think my 80 B is just as valuable as someone else with an 89 B because I put a shite ton of effort into it. I mean eventually it'll be 100 is A++++ 99 is A+++ 98 is A++ is 97 and 4.3, 4.2, 4.1 respectively. Something outlandish like that

My point is that is it really worth that much more? Someone in my situation needs points where I can get them because my gpa sucks. Yeah it was my fault but that's a-whole-nother issue that required me to grow the f up.

Of course, if they do decide to change it then I'll just deal with it and do the best I can and live with the grade I get.

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.
