Re: How are your grades so far?
 

Spanish 11 - 85%
English Honors 11 - 80%
Film Making 11 - 87%
Biology 11 - 72%

I could be doing better. I should do my homework. But I have a big Spanish project to hand in, a speech in english, i just handed in an extra credit project in Film and I have a huge test in Bio so my marks are probably going up this week.

It's part of bible studies, so this is basically "old testament". Next semester is "new testament"

Re: How are your grades so far?
 

Wow... Your English teacher sucks.

That's kind of ridiculous for a teacher to just decide to cap the marks of his students at 90. If the students can get 95 or whatever, they should be rewarded with those marks.

(H) Physics:: A
Marketing 3: A
(H) Trig/Pre-Calc: A
English 11: B+
Intro to Auto Technology: D+
Writing for Publication: A


Despite how long the Intro to Auto teacher has been teaching... he doesn't know what he's doing (or at least I assume that's so, because the students don't know what they're doing).

Private School?

Re: How are your grades so far?
 

90%+ in America isn't as difficult as in Canada, apparently. To compensate for this, the teachers have raised the requirements for grade letters.

87-89% = B+
90-93% = A-
94-100% = A

Lots of places are getting rid of "A+", supposedly.

And since GPA is based on letter grades and not percentages, we don't get any benefit from the "easy 95%".

Re: How are your grades so far?
 

Our grading system is like that.

A+ = 99-100
A = 94-98
A- = 92=93
B+ = 90-91
B = 85-89
B- = 83-84

and so on..

Re: How are your grades so far?
 

I agree...but our school is one of the best in Canada in a couple areas, so I can't argue with the system.

They look at it this way:

Provincial Standards (Ontario has high standards compared to the rest of Canada, Britian and the United States in general I think) are 70-79. So that's a "good mark". Anything higher is exceeding the provincial standards...so I guess 90+ is pretty damn good. Either way...it tells me that 82 is a damn good mark, especially for his class. I bet the class average is right around 70.

Re: How are your grades so far?
 

nope. very good school, though...(academically...the sports suck)

Re: How are your grades so far?
 

83-83 is a B?

thats cool

Re: How are your grades so far?
 

oops I mean 83-84 = B-

Re: How are your grades so far?
 

My school was very hard in some ways, but maybe sort of easy grading wise in terms of the point scale...Basically you could get a 50 on a mid-term and not have to retake it, you would still techincally pass as long as your average was 50 or above.

50-59 F
60-62 D-
63-67 D
68-69 D+
70-72 C-
73-77 C
78-79 C+
80-82 B-
83-87 B
88-89 B+
90-92 A-
93-96 A
98-100 A+

That's how they did it in high school, it made enough sense to me, though they never really gave us letter grades on our report cards so they may have not even taken that into account. I got like 3.85 GPA last year, and myabe a cumulative of 3.5 over my 4 years of high school.

w00t. Bandies unite. :)

Re: How are your grades so far?
 

I dunno about you stu but in my school its not that hard to get good grades...
I know kids with averages in the 95+ range. I dont see why not either... if you can get perfect on every math test and quiz and are a good student in class and go to every class i dont see why not give the 100 ...
