yetAnotherUser@feddit.de 8 months agoIs that percentage of points or just an arbitrary grade scale?
Because that’s quite funny compared to the (non-US) university I attend where you pass the difficult classes with “just” 33% of points.

Percentage of points. So if you get half of the questions wrong on a test, you fail. In some cases, teachers will grade “on a curve”, meaning they normalize the class scores. My organic chem teacher in college liked to make extremely difficult tests, so you’d get 40% or something awful like that and it would turn out that nobody in the class scored over 50% so you actually got an A.
