"Normal" Grad School Grades
I'm just finished my first semester of graduate school and I had a question about grades. I did ok this semester, not as good as I'd like but above 3.0. However, I'm a little confused about grades in grad school. As a an undergraduate I had around 3.8, but didn't worry about the grade as long as I learned the material well. I have the same mindset in grad school.
But I guess I'm kind of confused about what the average grade is. Most programs seem like they don't give credit for anything below a B, however in one class I scored at or above the median on all exams and still got a B+. I'm fine with that grade, but I've had friends tell me that anything below an A is bad. I can't believe this is true (from my limited experience). I was just curious what the average grade is in grad school (is a B really equal to a C?). I'm in an applied math program btw.
