C+ = 2.25
C = 2
C- = 1.75
D = 1
F = 0

I honestly think Im the only person at UCF that knows how to calculate GPA. It may vary by school.

Not a particularly inspiring first half. Togo has a chance to equalise if they continue to play the same way. Switzerland is "doing a Europe" and sitting on a 1-0 lead. Yesterdays game showed that is a dumb move aginst teams in this competition.

blgoblue2 · 06-19-2006, 10:48 AM

Whats the song thats in the ebay commercial.

bababui · 06-19-2006, 10:48 AM

Togo has looked capable of scoring goals from time to time

We only have public ones here. I pay about $5000 NZ a year thats probably around $3000US. but that doesn't include textbooks but does include most course handouts, readings books etc.

Guess the grade system wouldn't translate then

he's in HS...where we have to do our best to get half the class through in some cases...in college you basically have to repeat any class you dont get a C in.

so no A+'s then. What is the breakdown on percentage required to get those letter grades?

Textbooks have gotten ridiculously expensive

blgoblue2 · 06-19-2006, 10:51 AM

How is the attempted boycott such a big deal?

bababui · 06-19-2006, 10:52 AM

Letter grades are actually redundanat as its GPA thats all important here

this is just at my college:

A = 93+
A- = 90-92
B+ = 87-89
B = 83-86
B- = 80-82
C+ = 77-79
C = 73-76
C- = 70-72
D+ = 67-69
D = 63-66
D- = 60-62
F = <60

most teachers drop +/-'s or at least -'s and curve grades...at least in the classes Ive had.

bababui · 06-19-2006, 10:53 AM

Sdpm..do you support a baseball team or are you just a fan of the sport?
