Plus Minus Grades: Finer or Finest Scales?
Hello, VIPEr community!
The US Naval Academy is among a very small fraction of schools who still use only whole letter grades (A, B, C, D, F). Our faculty senate is currently discussing recommending to change our system to include + and - grades. Given the current faculty polls, this change is almost certain to pass within the Senate. However, there is a debate going on between using a "finer" or "finest" scale.
Finer: A, B+, B, B-, C+, C, D, F
Finest: A, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-. D+, D, F
