7. Higher grading policy

   carolh replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Students

   Let me start by saying that my school is also liberal in their grading. A 90-100 is an A and anything less than 75 is failing. I maintain a solid A in all my classes. That said, to be fair, I think Jasonglh only meant that some people test well and...
