they should take D's out of the grading system :| its like. Hey! You know the majority of the material but, not enough to pass :|
Hate those D+'s. Sooooo close .___. To a C but yet sooooo far
They shouldn't take Ds out of the grading system! I never had them during any of my schools until college, and a credit of 1 over a credit of 0 beats the F anyday. Also, here at
nuke school,
2.5/4.0, a 62.5% is what is required to pass. I have a
2.83 mind you, but without the D scale I would be soooooo *** after COMP.
that kind of scares me a little, hoping it's a misunderstanding.
Nope, it's not. A lot of the information in this section of my training is admitted as being useless. As long as I understand core concepts, then I'm golden. Keep in mind, that students who ride the border get Academic Board by the DOS, and if they aren't up to snuff, then they get rerated. Also there's a lot more than just being book smart in maintaining a reactor plant, so yeah, they're not just looking for brains.
When I get to Power school, it's a different story.
