Ah, yeah most of the time in American schools 90-100 is an A, 80-89 is a B, 70-79 is a C, 60-69 is a D and 59 or below is an F. Some professors might curve their grading scale, but that's generally how it goes. At K-State you have to get at least a C in every class in order to progress. I don't really pay attention to our test averages, as long as I pass I'm happy.
It's pretty similar. In the US it's generally in ~10 point increments so 100-90=A, 89-80=B, 79-70=C, 69-60=D, and <59=F, with some wiggle room occasionally added by curving etc. I don't remember the exact breakdowns for +/- but I think they're similar to yours.

Thanks, all. I lurf SDN.
This is pretty much the complete opposite of my class. I was all super excited last week because I got a 90 on our pathology test---finally, an A on a test and something I actually seem to have somewhat of a knack for! And then I found out that the class average was a 97. And pretty much all of our class averages for tests are like that, including those tests with historically really low averages. Definitely doesn't do much for the self-esteem to literally always be below average because your class is full of genius gunners. Haha.
Woof
My boss a couple days ago referred to me as a "type B hippy Canadian" and I'm still not sure whether it was a mild insult or not...
). Nikki is definitely better than any silly behaviour lecture!
Also yo, I loved your blog posts on COTH (assuming you're the same supershorty
4 finals down, 4 to go. Ready for death's sweet embrace at this point
I'm ignoring the fact that I didn't do as well on that exam
I do like kidneys, think they're fascinating, but my usual methods did not work for learning all the things.
physio teacher literally said today that the kidneys never get any respectI'm ignoring the fact that I didn't do as well on that exam
always failing you?
Shush you know you like my punny nature.
Shhh we have a certain dynamic I have to uphold when in the public eye
Anatomy is over for us too...except now we're going into neuro.ANATOMY IS OVER!!!
I'm both excited for rauncy cranial nerve mnemonics and dreading the level of memorization I know we're heading towards.
What is this crazy being done with anatomy nonsense. We're still in anatomy AND we're taking neuro as a whole separate other class at the same time. So not even fair, pfft.

We have anatomy, histology, immunology, physiology, pathology, and epidemiology for our science courses right now (not counting clinical presentations, clinical skills, and professional skills). I feel ya
Hahaha. I realize. But given my barely-hanging-on grade, practically two classes to me.Anatomy and histology are the same class ya goof
I've noticed this is a bit of a theme with first years. Hopefully they grow and mature as the years pass and people learn to adult a bit better. Hang in there, friend!
Agreed. Letting go is very beneficial to one's health, but man. The cranky builds up when people exhibit behaviors that elicit the crank in the first place. haha
Safe travels!
