Grading at National University

What is the Grading Scale at National University?

National University does grading on the plus/minus system (+/-).  Each of the classes is already planned out for the instructor and they generally follow.  The grading scale for the typical class is shown below.

Participation counts so that might be the deciding factor between getting that B- instead of the C+.

93.34 to 100.00 earns an A grade.

90.00 to 93.33 earns an A- grade.

86.34 to 89.99 earns a B+ grade.

83.34 to 86.33 earns a B grade.

80.00 to 83.33 earns a B- grade.

76.34 to 79.99 earns a C+ grade.

73.34 to 76.33 earns a C grade.

70.00 to 73.33 earns a C- grade.

66.34 to 69.99 earns a D+ grade.

63.34 to 66.33 earns a D grade.

60.00 to 63.33 earns a D- grade.

0 to 59.99 earns an F grade.

The classes are so short that you can determine after the first exam whether you can get the grade you need or want and either drop or study a lot harder. Some classes have an "A" listed as getting 96% for an "A." I wonder if National University is worried about grade inflation.

I looked up the honors that could appear on your degree if the appropriate GPA is achieved:

3.90  to 4.00 for Summa Cum Laude

3.70 to 3.89 for Magna Cum Laude

3.50 to 3.69 for Cum Laude

I posted a link from wikipedia to the honor definitions, but our syllabus mentions that we are not supposed to use wikipedia as a reference, ever!

Grades are required to be posted no later than 10 days after a class is finished.
