I would like to know how university students are graded in higher education in countries like the USA, Canada, China, Japan, and the other countries in the world. I am interested in knowing whether there is any consistency in the way higher education university students are scored or graded.
In some Uruguayan universities the grading system is from 1 to 12, where 3 is equal to 60% and the minimum grade to pass.
When I was studying at Fudan University(China), the system was: some courses collect points out of 100 and then give a corresponding alphabet grading, other courses give an alphabet grading directly. The former typically organize an exam, while the latter evaluate solely based on some kind of essay.
Paul: At my university in the United States, the grading scale is as follows:
A = 90% to 100%
B = 80% to 89%
C = 70% to 79%
D = 60% to 69%
F = Below 70%
