Grading Systems in the U. S.
Most colleges use letter
grades like A, B, C, D, F, and some use plus or minus
like B- or C+. To compute students' averages they say
A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. It takes an average of 2.0
to graduate. Grades of F must be repeated to get credit.
Most students take 5 or occasionally 6 courses per semester,
and most courses are 3 credits. It usually takes between
120 and 130 credits to graduate. A few colleges use
numerical grades instead of letters. If so, most likely
A=90, B=80, C=70, D=60, but this may be up to the professor.
大部分学校用字母A, B, C, D, F来表示分数,有的还用B-
或C+。为了计算学生的平均分,一般用A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0。平均分达到2才能毕业。成绩只得F的课程要重修才能得到学分。大部分学生一学期学习5到6门课程,大部分课程为3学分。一般要得到120~130个学分才能毕业。也有的学校用数字而不是字母来表示等级。如果是用数字的话,一般是A=90,
B=80, C=70, D=60。当然,这得取决于教师。
