Subjects Taken

Top of Form

Grading system used at all colleges and universities I have attended. The specific meaning of any numeric values, letter grades, and rankings is explained by the following rule:

The first 13 subjects are in the French system : Marks range from 0 (worst) to 20 (best). As a general rule at ENSEIRB, students are admitted from one year to the next one, or receive their final degree, provided that their average mark is over 11 and that no “partial average mark” is considered insufficient. The remaining subjects are in the Brazilian System : Firstly is assigned a grade ranging from 10 to 0 . After the basic rule is applied: 9 =< A =< 10; 7.5 =< B < 9; 6 =< C < 7.5; D < 6. Then the grade scale is: A=excellent, B=good, C=regular; D=not satisfactory. As a general rule at UFRGS, students are APPROVED in each subject if the final grade is 6 or plus.
