Summary:: Comparing education systems from different countries. ..our education system is easier? Or does that mean our material is tougher and the grading system balances out? Or is just cultural differences. The only exception is York. It doesn't like (-) so an 80 is just an A. 90+ is an A+.

As is any course, C is the bare minimum expectation. D is disappointing but passable. B is above average, or good, it indicates a solid amount of skill on the part of the student to rise above expectations. A is when expectations are shattered completely. A+ is true perfection.

Listen. Listen. Listen. The spoken word has more power than notes. I find when I'm too hyperfocused on the quality of the notes, I'm left with a pile of pretty but cryptic writing. It doens't help me understand. Nowadays notes tend to get uploaded online anyways.
