Grade-Conversion
for Undergraduate Courses (Fall 2009)
All material is graded on a numerical scale of
1-20.
Quizzes comprise 10 items, each of which is
worth two points. The in-class component of the exam (ENGL 3000) will comprise
20 items, each of which is worth one point.
Individual quiz grades have no precise
alphabetical equivalent, but the system for the optional paper, noted below,
gives a rough sense of what these grades are worth.
Papers, including the take-home component of the exam (ENGL 3000) are graded on a scale of
1-20, with the following alphabetical
equivalents:
*. 20 = A+
*. 19 = A
*. 18
= A-
*. 17
= B+
*. 16
= B
*. 15
= B-
*. 14
= C+
*. 13
= C
*. 12
= C-
*. 11
= D+
*. 10
= D
*. 9
= D-
*. 0-8
= F
Your
final numerical grade will be converted in the same manner.
The first letter below indicates the mathematically precise
equivalent; the second accounts
for the fact that UNT uses only “whole” letters
(e.g., A, B, C, not A+, A, A-,
etc.):
*. 19.5-20 A+ A
*. 18.5-19.4 A A
*. 17.5-18.4 A- A
*. 16.5-17.4 B+ B
*. 15.5-16.4 B B
*. 14.5-15.4 B- B
*. 13.5-14.4 C+ C
*. 12.5-13.4 C C
*. 11.5-12.4 C- C
*. 10.5-11.4 D+ D
*. 9.5-10.4 D D
*. 8.5-9.4 D- D
*. 0-8.4 F F
