Some describe grades such that all students in a class Page 26.856.3are “excellent” and have “superior achievement”. Some institutions only state that the student’sperformance in academic work is expressed by the following grades with the traditional list ofA=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0 and F =0 for computation of a grade point average.
