Grade Help!
So, I calculated my Anatomy average and I'm going to end up with a 59.5%
I need a C-. Do they round up for the final grade?
Thanks

They don't round up at Mac, we use a truncated system, which would make that D+. Your best bet would be to email the professor and explain your situation and why u need that certain mark. But its really in your profs hands now......

Simple answer: No
Why? Because McMaster truncates by default.

BUT - if your professor is nice, they might round for you.

GO GROVEL at the prof's feet and maybe they might bump it up.
