Okay, after reading this thread i can safely say i don't get the American education system at all~

 

I live in Holland, we have different grades. 10 is best, 1 is worst.

Physics: 9.3
English: 9.7
French: 8.4
German: 7.9
Maths: 7.6
History: 7.8
Latin: 8.9
Greek: 9.0
Dutch: 8.7
Art: 7.8
P.E.: 7.0

 

This past semester I had four subjects, and we're marked in both percentages and grades (High Distinction 80-100%, Distinction 70-79%, Credit 60-69%, Pass 50-59%, Fail under 50%).

Writing for Professional Practice: 86% HD
Children and Mathematics: Developing Mathematical Concepts: 82% HD
Primary Science Education: 80% HD
Understanding Learners: 91% HD

 

A: Excellent 90-100%
B: Very Satisfactory 80-90%
C: Satisfactory 70-80%
D: Unsatisfactory 60-70%
F: Failure <60%

With +'s and -'s to indicate the upper and lower areas of the range.

 

On my Interim I got this:

English 10 - A
Spanish 2 - A
W. Wellness - A
World History - A
Integr. Math - A
H. Geometry - A
Biology - A
Health - A

Midterms are in January, and I forgot my classes for next semester

 

Also notice that in several schools in the American system, the idea of a curve is heavily used as well. This is where you base your '100%' on the highest achieving student. I've also encountered classes where the professors used the curve to make a set number of the class fail, and then place a specific number of students in each of the passing categories.

 

We work on a 20-point system. 17-20 is a first (hardly anyone ever gets), 14-16.5 is a 2:1, 10-13.5 is a 2:2, 7-9.5 is a third class, 5-7 is a fail with chance of resit and 0-5 is a fail ~

;D I like your choice of classes ~
Except I think Paul is annoying xD

 

Interaction Design Methods - B+
Representation and Fabrication - B
Sound Design - A
Chance and Data Analysis (Elective ) - B+

Have to say, I COULD of done better...but a variety of things crashed and clashed together and made my life miserable...

For my FINAL semester before graduating university!!!

Publication Design and Print
Introduction to Cinema
Speculative Design

 

My semester isn't over yet so I don't have grades. I can estimate though.
French: A+
Civics: Probably a D right now. I do only about two thirds of the assignments.
Algebra: A-
Orchestra: A+
Chinese: A+ (higher than 100%)
Physics: A
English: Probably a C right now. I'm one of the most prominent contributors to discussions, but I turn in all of my essays late.

 

Statistics-C
Science Methods- A
Social Studies Methods-A
Math Methods- A
Bilingual and Multicultural Education- A
Queering Schools- A

3.67, hell yes.

Curriculum
Assessment
Bilingual and Multicultural Education (pt 2)
Educational Technology
Zumba (because I needed one more credit to remain a full time student)

 

First term - 1st

 

3.66 this semester in grad school...woohoo! 1 A and 2 B+'s

 

Currently taking classes through College of Continuing (Non-degree seeking since I already have my BA) while I figure out life...

Calculus I...A
Physics for Science and Engineering...B-

Next semester: Statistics.

 

This semester...
Music after 1900: A-
Organ Improvisation: A
Organ Literature: A
Organ Private Study: A

Next semester, I'm taking...
Music in the Classic Period
Organ Improvisation
Organ Literature
Organ Private Study

Not much variation there.

 

3 full year courses so those are subject to change
and i got a 3.3 GPA so far o-o on the 2 courses I did finish >.>

 

Psychology 101- A+
Biology 101 (overall for lecture and lab)- B
Computer Science 150- B+
Women's Studies 100- A
English 101- B+

I guess that's a'ight for first semester of university, though I wish I'd done better.

 

I've only ever encountered curves in math/science heavily-test-based classes. Also, only bad teachers try to make a certain number of students fail

 

This past semester:

MATH 2110 Calculus III - B (My confirmation I don't want to major in math anymore)
MATH 2050 ProbStats, Calc-based - B- (Thought I had a C-in this class!)
JAPN 2010 Second Year Japanese I - A
HIST 2020 US Since 1877 - B+ (Frak history)
CSCI 1250 Intro to Computer Science - A (My confirmation I want to major in csci )

Next semester, I'll have:

MATH 2120 Differential Equations (still going to get the minor, though)
MATH 2090 Math Computing
JAPN 2020 Second Year Japanese II (minoring in it, too)
CSCI 1260 Intro to Computer Science II
CSCI 1900 Math for Computer Science
CSCI 2020 Database Fundamentals

Aside from DiffEQ, I'm looking forward to it whole-heartedly!
