New grade distributions
gregh  2008-06-19 18:40   

Generally, I was/am opposed to the way the new grade distributions were slipstreamed in. It disadvantaged those who were further along. While I could generally ignore the softening of the curve, since most happened at the tail, the introduction of the 4.3 point A+ really irritated me, as one chasing the next significant ranking cutoff. And so, it was an A+. I'll take it, of course. :)

However, the difference is significant in overall GPA. An A+ appearing in my final 3 units is worth 13-thousandths of a point more than an A.

A stupid issue to be bothered by? Probably. As long as they exist, I wasn't going to lobby to have one not given to me. However, I don't feel that any of the new grading policies should have been applied to current students.
