final marks
When our final marks are released on mugsi, are they in the 12 point system or in percentages? What about in transcripts for graduate schools? 'cause I was thinking wouldn't it be unfair for someone getting 100% to be getting the same 12 as someone else getting a 90%?

I don't know about transcripts for graduate schools, but other than that, they're in the 12 point system.

I would say a 90% and and 100% are both pretty good marks and judging someone based on if they got 90% or a 100% isnt really fair as im sure both people worked their asses off

You'll learn to enjoy the 12pt system once you get a 90.000001%

MUGSI - letter grade and 12 point system
Transcripts - letter grade for sure, but I don't remember if the 12 point system is on there

No percentages :(

Transcript has both. It's weird how so many other schools do percentages. Oh well.

You'll get a letter grade and the 12 pt system.

Some grad/professional schools will convert letter->percentage grades by just taking the median in each range, ie. A+ = 95%, A = 87%, A- = 82% etc.
