94-96 A
97-100 A+

The plus minus system is mandatory. However the actual scales for each letter and plus or minus is up to each individual professor. So they set it up as they please. In your particular example, it would depend on the whether that professor rounds up.

Well I guess my prof feels a 96.55 rounds down. fricking bullshite

I see what you're saying about the scale changing. But if that's the scale, then do they not round it? If they wanna get all nit picky with the 4.3s and 2.7s, then I will too

the standard is a 97 being an A+.
But I have many professors that alter that scale.

What does your syllabus say? Most teachers make it very clear
Posted on 12/14/16 at 8:27 pm to Schmelly
Depends on the major, some are 10point scale, some are 7point scale.
Posted on 12/14/16 at 8:29 pm to Schmelly
Probably an A.
I feel your pain brother. My diff eq prof. wouldn't round up either. Goddamn prick.

Ten years from now, out in the real world, it won't matter.

At least yall have an A+. Ole Miss went to +/- without it

There should be no rounding involved
The standard scale is actually more like this:
97-100 A+
93-96.99 A
90-92.99 A-

Since when does LSU have a +\- system?

LSU started using it about 1.5 years ago. NOt sure about others.

Nothing. Just lists the scale. Sent her an email just asking if it rounds but no response
Posted on 12/14/16 at 8:40 pm to Restomod
I listed the scale. The scale doesn't specify what happens in between 96-97

Just don't get how .55 is closer to 0 than 1, lol.

I think they've had it for about 4 years now.

Ok, I could deal with that. But show me. And my syllabus doesn't say that. Here's the link to lsu's policy
