Not really. A "C" is average by definition. And the average out of ten is a 5. |
Schools don't convert letters like that. A D- is equal to 50, since anything less would be a failure on both scales. The difference is that a percentage score shows the magnitude of failure while the letter score doesn't. If anything, I'd say the letter system is guilty of grading on the reduced scale windbane is complaining about.
Disparate ranking systems like this are one of the failures of metacritic.
