[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Ummm... clearly Madison did NOT "do away with + and -" for actual grades in the class! So, you're starting off on a shaking foundation there.[/quote] Madison did do away with + and - for assignments. So you also have a "shaky foundation." A B- paper is completely different from a B+ paper, but now there is no longer that distinction. I am a student, and I find it really frustrating that inaccurate representations of my skill level are being put into the gradebook. [/quote] +1. A student can have a + or - for their overall course grade it it averages to that, but individual assignments receive ONLY whole letter grades. So as pp said, a B+ paper and a B- paper both earn a B. If a student had one B paper and one A paper, that would average to a 3.5 and SIS would show a grade of B+ for the course. [/quote]
