Grade (slope) The grade (US) or gradient (UK) (also called stepth, slope, incline, mainfall, pitch or rise) of a physical feature, landform or constructed line refers to the tangent of the angle of that surface to the horizontal. It is a special case of the slope, where zero indicates horizontality. A larger number indicates higher or steeper ...
In some places, .25 or .3 instead of .33 is added for a plus grade and subtracted for a minus grade. Other institutions maintain a mid-grade and award .5 for the grade. For example, an AB would receive a 3.5-grade point and a BC would receive a 2.5-grade point.
Grades e.g. Good (3.50), or Excellent (5.75), are common. Every passing grade at or above the .50 mark is prefixed with the term of the higher grade. The minimum is 2.00; grades below 3.00 are failing grades, and the maximum is 6.00. Grades like "Very good" (5-) and "Average" (3+) are also possible – these are ignored in calculations.
Grading in education is the process of applying standardized measurements for varying levels of achievements in a course. Grades can be assigned as letters (usually A to F), as a range (for example, 1 to 6), as a percentage, or as a number out of a possible total (often out of 100). [1]
In the Philippines, some universities follow a 4-Point Scale, which resembles or is equivalent to the U.S. grading system. This system uses a grade between 0.00 to 4.00 wherein 4.00 is the highest and 0.00 being a failing mark. Other universities follow a 5-Point Scale, wherein the highest grade is a 1.00 and the lowest is a 5.00 (failing mark).
University at Buffalo Law School – no curve, but benchmarks for top 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% for each class are released after each semester. Columbia Law School – 25-30% of 1L class grades are A−'s or higher; 55-65% B+ or higher; 35-45% B or below. GPA not reported. Upper year courses have an easier curve. [118]
Code 7 (A+): 80% - 100%. Code 6 (A): 70% - 79%. Code 5 (B): 60 %- 69%. Code 4 (C): 50% - 59%. Code 3 (D): 40% - 49%. Code 2 (E): 30% - 39%. Code 1 (F): 0% - 29%. The OBE system, when in its experimental stages, originally used a scale from 1 - 4 (a pass being a 3 and a '1st class pass' being above 70%), but this system was considered far too ...
Level 4, beyond government standards (A; 80 percent and above) Level 3, at government standards (B; 70–79 percent) Level 2, approaching government standards (C; 60–69 percent) Level 1, well below government standards (D; 50–59 percent) The grading standards for A− letter grades changed in September 2010 to coincide with a new academic year.
