When I was in school, you had to do better than 65% correct to avoid an "F". This new grading scale is ridiculous. You can get 17% right on most reasonable tests without showing up for a day of class.
If these are multiple choice questions with 5 answers, a chimp with a pencil should theoretically get 20% correct!
I could get 20 o/o right now by printing my name and date correctly on the paper?
And getting an F was a source of shame, not to mention punishment in the home when the parents learn of the low grade.
