I'm not insulting your abilities, doll, just pointing out the fundamental differences.

I wonder if they've changed the grading system now that they have eliminated OAC?
Side note: A guy in my english class received 100% in english. He had a 97%...the highest grade in any english class, but the rest of my OAC class was bombing...I had the second highest grade with and 81%. The department decided to give everyone an extra 3% to imporve the class averages. However, he wasn't going to get his 3% because they didn't want anyone to have 100% in english. After much complaining he got it. I'm glad he did. It was the principle.
P.S hijack here....but I love Carnation!!!

pffff that's garbage. My buddy had over 100% in the most brutal OACS (a&g, calc), and only received 99% when the second closest in the class was in the low 90s.

Well because he already had a 97% in english, the extra three percent that every OAC english class in my school received, his mark became 100%.
Now, if our english department wasn't so retarded, he would have jsut had a 97%. But when the highest OAC class average is 64%...that's not very good adn it does say something about the teachers. I had the second highest mark in my class with an 81%. Our class average was 53%. yeah, that's why everyone got an extra 3%.

my university has the same grading system as what Lady Pi Phi said... I absolutely love it, because it has saved me a few times...
that being said, it might look like some sort of dream come true, but the grading up here is a lot tougher than back in the states (and I spent 2 years of university in the states before coming here, so I know). In my other schools, I was disappointed with myself if I got below an 80 on anything. Now I'm happy with anything above a 60.
