+Guide to the meaning of letter grades
+The following is a guideline to the grading scale used. It is a copy of the York University official grading scheme. The first number within the parenthesis is used to combine individual grades into a single grade. When grades are combined exact integers may not result so the range following the first number within parenthesis maps back to the letter grade.
-B+. 7. Very Good Thorough knowledge of concepts and/or techniques with a fairly high degree of skill in the use of those concepts, techniques in satisfying the requirements of an assignment or course.
+A C grade means doing only what was asked for, a B grade means doing a good job on what was asked for, and an A grade means doing a good job and showing originality. Originality in the undergraduate environment means doing things that were not explicitly asked for but are useful additions or extensions of the work - doing things above and beyond the call of duty.
