    I believe it is different from professors to professors. However, I believe that there is a general consensus that...

    1.) 80%-85% = A-
    2.) 85%-90% = A
    3.) 90% > = A+

    that's how all my classes have been. its usually 5% b/w grades:

    A+=95-100
    A=90-94
    A-=85-89
    B+=80-84
    B=75-79
    B-=70-74
    C+=65-69
    C=60-64
    C-=55-59
    D=50-54
    F=less than 50

    that's usually a rough guideline, profs will change it within a couple % depending on how the final marks turn out.

    most of them do in the course outline...or departmental guidelines...does it really matter, its not like when youre studying for an exam youre like i want to get exactly 59 percent on this test so i can get a c- and not a c
