Mostly as a curiosity, what you've written here is impossible, lol. I think you mean your grade would range from a D to a C+, inclusive. But you have written that your grade would be greater-or-equal to a C+, yet less-than-or-equal to a D, which would be.... impressive :D
edit: Closed intervals are great for communicating this kind of thing in general. You could say your grade is in the interval [D, C+], where the brackets indicate that D and C+ are included in the options. Compare to the open interval, which would indicate that D and C+ are excluded -- ie (D,C+) includes only the entries D+, C-, C.
- black_puppydog 1y agoSo you're fundamentally objecting to the statement D >= C+ then? In germany we grade from 1 (best) to 6 (worst) and I always just mapped these to A (best) to F (worst) in my mind. makes perfect sense to me. :)
- pinkmuffinere 1y agoOh that's interesting! I guess I was never explicitly told that A>B>C, it just 'feels' right haha. What you're proposing makes sense too though
- bap 1y agoBecause I'm.. not young.. all throughout my education we were 'awarded' 4 points for an A, 3 for B and so forth to calculate Grade Point Average (GPA.) Due to this system I have always considered A > B > C, etc. Some of my children lived under a different regime in elementary school, which common core and non-letter grading assessments. Target, Near Target and Below Target. A = 1, B = 2 reminds me of cryptography for some reason. That's probably due to reading Neal Stephenson.
