Quick Question
Hey,

I got just came to know my final gardes for a course (which does not have a final exam) .When I calculated and added my marks for presentation, midterms and reports ,I get 80 % in the course.So I was wondering if I would get a 10 in that course or a 9 .According to the McMaster grading system a 10 is when you have your overall % between 80 to 84. As I am on the line I am worried about the grade I will get in that course?


Thanks for your time and effort.

10. Apparently just saying 10 is too short of a message. So here it is again: 10.

An 80% fits into a 10 on the McMaster Grading System.

I believe Mac uses 2 decimal points. So if you are < 79.99, you're 9. If >=80.00, you are 10. Correct if i'm wrong.
