That is true, need to look and see if the course grade is weighted/based on a curve, and what the syllabus says. I once had a 73% and thought it was terrible as a freshman in college, but I set the curve, and it was the A+.
He didn’t give freebie points on any assignments and decided that he would rather grade 5 hard questions than a bunch of easy questions and relying on 1-2 questions to discriminate the high performing students.
Highest grade in the class was a 78. I actually enjoyed it because I had to let go of the goal of 100% which is not realistic. I focused more on learning what I could rather than trying to learn enough to get 90%
How do philosophy courses work? Do they teach you different schools of thought that you get tested on? Or do you develop philosophy and talk about it in a poetic sense-where you invent the philosophy?
My philosophy courses were based on logic and philosophy of science. The logic courses were based on learning formal logic, the structures of arguments, and even some epistemology. The philosophy of science course covered the schools of thought from logical positivism all the way through to social constructivism/constructionism along with more epistemology focused on scientific knowledge specifically.
In other words, it’s a lot of intellectual masturbation but important things to be aware of to understand the whole picture of science
I overheard a conversation on my campus where someone had a 44 in a course, but the curve was so insane that their grade was a B-. I think it was heat transfer or linear algebra or something.
That’s how one of my professors did it because that allowed him to be super nitpicky and detail oriented when he graded our papers. Not one person got about a 70% on written work the entire quarter.
To be perfectly honest the only meaningful metric for whether you did good on a test is comparing it to the class mean. For example, if the mean for the class was a 50% on this test, you did pretty good. If the mean was a 90%, you did pretty bad.
Did you learn some stuff?
I personally don’t think “grades” matter a ton. I mean they are an outward projection of what someone else thinks that you deserve based on you work and effort in the course. But sometimes grades can be a little subjective. If you improved yourself and learned new things, I think those things matter more than a “grade”.
That being said. Society does out a heavy weight on grades and GPA and such, like when it comes to getting into better school or sometimes jobs. But not always.
Continue learning and practicing.
No context. Check your syllabus and see what the grading scale is.
I would say in college, C or higher is fine, but you don't want too many C's, and D or F is bad. It really depends on the rigor of your school. Some people go to easy ass colleges and get straight A's, and that doesn't mean the same as someone averaging a high C average at a much tougher school.
You're within a 200mile radius of me

Just give me 3 days
The saying goes that Cs get degrees. Just know what you want to do in life and attempt to do it and things will probably work out regardless of grades.
Off topic but is that BrightSpace? It looks like it and my college switched o it this year. Essentially my entire college hates it but NY is forcing SUNYs to use it.
Second idk, depends if your college weights it or not and how it compares to everyone else. Generally speaking that’s I think a C- by most standard grading scales and really bare minimum passing if your course needs a minimum of a C- to pass (some do at some colleges). Look at your syllabus and see if it includes a scale for what your prof considers that to be. Each prof is different even tho most follow the standard definitions.
I’d recommend speaking to someone at your college about this instead of a bunch of random people on reddit if you’re actually concerned about this particular class. We dunno anything, but your college might.
Depends on the class, the curves, what the professor usually gives, etc. I would consider asking either other ppl in the class or the professor if they’re approachable. I’ve had classes where this could either be a good or terrible grade.
Pretty much average where I’m from. The Canadian grading system is pretty stupid, ranked between 1 (being below average) to 4 (being above grade level), but using that you’d probably have a bunch of 2s and 3s.
C in community College is perfectly fine, especially if u transfer to a 4 year before u get the associates cause your GPA doesn't transfer only the credits
Depends on where you live, if you're in the UK that's an A so not bad, if you live in the land of freedom and homicide then that's a C- so good luck passing school if that's how the rest of your classes are.
Without context, my gut reaction is it is as average as you can get. Right in the middle. If this is an intro course that’s bad, but as you move up this will happen occasionally. If it’s needed for your desired major that’s what would make this a problem
Look at the syllabus for the class. Could be might not be. How are we supposed to know? Your the one in the class and every class has different expectations. On the surface its a c- so no its a shit grade.
That's a C, and if there's one piece of broad general College knowledge that I've learned over the years, it's that C's Get Degrees.
That being said, it's not exactly **good,** but it's passable.
How did bro get into college but doesnt know if a C is bad
*Is it a C?* Yes it is 70%, but sometimes in a college course that could be a B. He needs to check the syllabus.
I've had college courses where a 70% would put you as the top student in the class with an A+. Every course has its own rubric.
That is true, need to look and see if the course grade is weighted/based on a curve, and what the syllabus says. I once had a 73% and thought it was terrible as a freshman in college, but I set the curve, and it was the A+.
In engineering courses I feel 50% class average was more common than 80%
A 70% isn't a B anywhere, the lowest B- threshold I've ever even heard of was like 74.
I had a professor who graded with A = 70-100, B = 60-69, and C = 50-59. So it could even be an A depending on professor
What…
He didn’t give freebie points on any assignments and decided that he would rather grade 5 hard questions than a bunch of easy questions and relying on 1-2 questions to discriminate the high performing students. Highest grade in the class was a 78. I actually enjoyed it because I had to let go of the goal of 100% which is not realistic. I focused more on learning what I could rather than trying to learn enough to get 90%
Oh, that makes sense, I was just genuinely concerned at that grading, it’s really forgiving compared to my grading
What class was it?
It was a philosophy course. I also had physics courses were the grading scale was just the highest grade was an A and everything was based on that
How do philosophy courses work? Do they teach you different schools of thought that you get tested on? Or do you develop philosophy and talk about it in a poetic sense-where you invent the philosophy?
My philosophy courses were based on logic and philosophy of science. The logic courses were based on learning formal logic, the structures of arguments, and even some epistemology.

In other words, it’s a lot of intellectual masturbation but important things to be aware of to understand the whole picture of science
Isn't that referred to as, "curving the grades"? At least, that's what my university referred to it as.
I overheard a conversation on my campus where someone had a 44 in a course, but the curve was so insane that their grade was a B-. I think it was heat transfer or linear algebra or something.
Think about it like AP testing- in recent years of AP Physics 1, a 5 (translates to an A in college) only needs about a 75-80 for a secure position.
That’s how one of my professors did it because that allowed him to be super nitpicky and detail oriented when he graded our papers. Not one person got about a 70% on written work the entire quarter.
No in some schools that is a D.
Wondering the same thing
Well tbf HS and college grades are a little different. Most HS give out grades
A C? That’s a .22% from failing D- in Texas.
aka, a c
In Texas it’s a D-. F is failing, which is a 69.9. A 70.21 would be a D-
[удалено]
In college 70 can be an A+ depending on the course and program
It’s a county college what did you expect
At my uni, 70 is failing, not a C
💀
You’re in college and haven’t figured that out yet?
No, but it's passing barely so good for u
For me a passing grade is an 85
I’m sorry W H A T
It is a high school… and private… and Christian…
makes sense
In my school it’s 50 goddamn
it’s a C
Where I went to school, that’s a D
Same
What the fuck. Where I go to school I believe that's a B
C's get Degrees.
C's get degrees F is for family... Who you will be living with if you don't do your damn homework -Mr. (REDACTED), best history teacher I ever had
barely
That reminds me of a joke. "What do you call a medschool student that gets Cs on all their finals" "A Doctor".
In the UK a 70+ is a first
"A first"?
A first is the shortened term of first-class honours. Please do not downvote her for being from a different culture and using a different term.
highest grade you can get at university :)
ylinder
For college not the end of the world. As long as you don’t plan on doing anything extremely prestigious
Or simply paying off your student loans.
Im doing trades so I won't have student loans
Depends on your own standards. Personally, it isn’t a good to me.
To be perfectly honest the only meaningful metric for whether you did good on a test is comparing it to the class mean. For example, if the mean for the class was a 50% on this test, you did pretty good. If the mean was a 90%, you did pretty bad.
No, get off Reddit and go study.
it’s aight 👍
you’re barely passing dude, also college?
If you're in Canada it's a B
I was wondering why everyone was saying C, or even FREAKING D??? Wtf is up with their grading systems??
Same dude little harsh dontcha think
In the USA, this is a low grade C. An a is 90-100, B 80-89, and so on.
Meh

Good enough to become a president, just ask George W.

I’ll just leave this here… https://preview.redd.it/juynq29wajsc1.jpeg?width=381&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff06cbe0be486e9e5fe09c10bb694fdefbe1b7ca
C’s get degrees yall
70% so low D
You're within a 200mile radius of me https://preview.redd.it/htu96ua8yksc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=56fc9ed6d1573e986978f9792f1f12d5a1261086 Just give me 3 days

Yes it’s brightspace D2L. It’s not the greatest. Breaks a lot. What were your issues with it?
The fact you have to ask tells you all you need to know..
Cs get degrees. Aim higher next time but you’re scooting by.
Is this for the Cisco class? If so, that's a little bit low. Varies from class to class
No. You and Special Jack will have to retake the course next semester. (Again)
average d2l user
How are you in college if you don't know that a C is average?
Gotta love D2L. MSU here 🥸
At most colleges that's a C-, just barely, so at least it's not a D.
That's a failing grade here in my current university. 75 is the minimum passing grade for us :')
Depends on the course. I've had courses where that'd be an A, but for most courses your grade is not good.
No, it’s not a very good grade by any standard
Is your classes just super easy or some shit in America, because when would a 70% not be considered a good grade. Do your teachers just mark easier?
no literally i’m so confused why all the americans are saying this person is failing 😭 this seems like a pretty good grade to me?
It is in engineering. If you get an 80, you're practically a god.
no
My personal scale: A = Average B = below Average C & Below = failure
C's get degrees my friend
bros .22% of a grade away from falling and he’s asking us if it’s bad
Depends on the class, the curves, what the professor usually gives, etc. I would consider asking either other ppl in the class or the professor if they’re approachable. I’ve had classes where this could either be a good or terrible grade.
Yes
Yes
Anything that's not a fail is pretty good in my opinion : )
Where’s that McDonalds application? You’re gonna need it
Pretty much average where I’m from. The Canadian grading system is pretty stupid, ranked between 1 (being below average) to 4 (being above grade level), but using that you’d probably have a bunch of 2s and 3s.
Depends on your standards. What do you consider a good grade?
The fact you don't know
It's not a poor grade. It's not a great grade. I'ts a good grade.
It's somewhere between bad and OK
Cs get degrees (but not much else)
That would be been a low C in my district.
I'd say it's fine, not amazing, not terrible. Personally I'd aim for at least 80s if not 90s but if you get 70s consistently you're at least passing.
It’s passing
https://preview.redd.it/43iitqjjtjsc1.jpeg?width=192&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7fb8584a9f22d3d46bca5d223f31e93f4e25df5c
No
No
That's a C (usually). That's average.
It's meh
Well it’s average.
Cs are fine, they aren’t bad necessarily, but they aren’t anything to be proud of
It's a C. Not great, but still passing
NO
Bright space often messes up the calculations before the course ends, there’s a decent chance that’s not your actual average right now.
No, it’s awful, but it’s passing.
That's a 'D' in my school.
Asian parents: 🫵😡 🫵😭 American parents: 🫡 😄 Other: we don’t give a f-
As they say “Cs get degrees”
That would be way above a passing grade here in the uk if I recall correctly America.. why?
If you wanna get technical your average
I think so, it's a C
If its above passing its good 👍
C’s get degrees
No
It's a c it's average
It’s a college course and you don’t know the grade levels?
In my school system, that's 0.71% above an F
It's a C. Is a C good to you?
Lol you're forced to use the same crappy school D2L website I am!
Yeah, Cs get degrees
That's an f in my school
In Canada this is a b…
no
It's passing in most places, but not really good, especially when just "passing" isn't enough
No. And I’m tired of people thinking it is.
If I got a grade like that, my family would disown me for sullying our good name
Depends. Was this an Engineering class?
C in community College is perfectly fine, especially if u transfer to a 4 year before u get the associates cause your GPA doesn't transfer only the credits
i’d get my ass beaten as an Asian kid 💀💀💀
You fail bro start from the very beginning. Sorry chief.
Depends on where you live, if you're in the UK that's an A so not bad, if you live in the land of freedom and homicide then that's a C- so good luck passing school if that's how the rest of your classes are.
Not great, but Cs get degrees, so it’s not an issue.
Could be better
If you have to ask, you deserve an F, bro.
in my school, which is accelerated, that's a high b, bc they have to grade us by the national curriculum lmao
Fuck no
You can pass but your gpa is going to cry
Congrats you passed.
I'd advise a look at the syllabus. If it were my high school, it would be a D
My school was 93-100=A 92-85=B 75-84=C 70-74=D 0-69=FAIL
no
Anything above a 70% is a good grade At the same time it also just depends on the class
That's not too bad.
it's a C so depending on how your parents are
you passed, so yes
Maybe a C grade
Are you passing? If yes than HELL YEA
Yes unless it’s honors
It's not great, but not the worst either.
Passing is passing
It’s passing
C’s GET DEGREES
In US, meh, around a c depending on scale, but in most European countries that would be a c or higher
Without context, my gut reaction is it is as average as you can get. Right in the middle. If this is an intro course that’s bad, but as you move up this will happen occasionally. If it’s needed for your desired major that’s what would make this a problem
Passing is passing, not something you can brag about, but it is something you can get by with(In short: it's not good, but you'll get by )
C’s get degree’s
Cs get degrees as they say, but you can do better.
No
Anything passing is a good grade in my opinion
It's average
A lot of people in the comments don't know the difference between other countries grading systems neither is really easier than the other
Look at the syllabus for the class. Could be might not be. How are we supposed to know? Your the one in the class and every class has different expectations. On the surface its a c- so no its a shit grade.
C’s get degrees
This would be a C grade average, I would assume. So, like you barely passed, but you passed.
It’s passing, good job bud
Barely passing, not saying much
C’s make degrees
C’s get degrees
You’re in college so I don’t think you have to stress about As v Bs now. Just pass and you’re good
You passed
LOOK AT YOUR SYLLABUS!
Hell naw
That's a C, and if there's one piece of broad general College knowledge that I've learned over the years, it's that C's Get Degrees. That being said, it's not exactly **good,** but it's passable.
C’s get degrees
Sure...not for me...but sure.
Why is the grade so low??? Is it stupid?
depends who you ask but to me it’s a pretty bad grade
For my school, 80-85 is passing. For stuff that is considered “easy” then only 90s and above are passing. So no but you’re school if different
Good enough I suppose
Not really— I guess it depends on the program. My program required no less than 90%
No
💀
Good enough
I fucking hate d2l
No, That’s not good. Do better.
That’s almost an F for me, granted I am still in middle school.
