I just passed English despite not having picked up a pen until today.

Well, not a pen. Was an online programme, and I was rather busy this semester, and blah blah excuses blah.

Point is, I didn't do anything at all until today.

And I just got confirmation that I passed with a D. (62%)

Either I'm the ultimate idiot savant or the luckiest motherfucker to walk the Earth.

A D is a pass?

I'd say "luckiest guy on earth" would be the most likely reason you passed. That was a close call. I don't quite see how you did it though.

^^ Okay, I guess that works too. What were the essays about, if you don't mind me asking?

Also, I'm currently in English 102 at college and even though I currently have a 95% I'm STILL worried about if I'm gonna pass or not. I don't think I could ever pull off a passing grade with one week (or less) of work.

62% is only a D? What sort of marking metric are you using. Most I'm aware of that would be a pretty solid C. B- maybe for a really generous scale.

Most grading scales I've seen have 90%+ as A's, 80s as B's, 70s as C's, and 60's as D's, and anything lower than 60 as an F.

I usually see 60-69 = D, 70-79 = C, 80-89 = B, 90-100 = A, along with plusses and minuses of course.

Man. Never noticed how different the grading metric system is in other places. Where I am, 69 and below equals F, 70-76 equals D, 77-84 equals C, 85-93 equals B, and 94 and above equals A.

Honestly that sounds like a good system.

All my life it's been

  • 0-69 = F
  • 70-74 = D
  • 75-79 = C
  • 80-89 = B
  • 90-100 = A

[up]Me Too!, well, until I got to College.

EDIT: Wait...

For me a 70-79 has always just been a "C". "D"s did not exist until I got into College.

In one English assignment for university, I spoke about Batman in relation to Hamlet.

I got 79. It would've been 81, but it was a day late.

Don't you type well enough on this site, anyway?
