Universities' Grading Systems
大學的評分系統(tǒng)
Most American colleges and universities use the grading system of A, B, C, D and F.
絕大部分美國大學都采用A,B，C，D和F的評分系統(tǒng)。
An A is worth four points, a B three points,
A等于4分，B三分，
a C two points and a D one point.
C兩分，D一分。
Getting a grade like a B-plus or a C-minus adds or subtracts a few tenths of a point.
得到B+或C+的分數(shù)就等于加上或減去零點幾分，
An F is a failing grade worth zero toward a student's grade point average.
而F即為不及格，相當于平均積分點為零。
A small number of colleges reject the traditional grading system.
少數(shù)大學反對這種傳統(tǒng)的評分系統(tǒng)。
They are organized into programs taught by teams of professors.
他們劃分成不同的課程，由不同的老師進行教學。
Each program brings together different subjects and extends in length over 2 or 3 quarters.
每門課程涵蓋了不同的科目，時間上的跨度有2-3季。
Students are required to do a major research project at the end of each program.
學生在每門課程結(jié)束時要做一份重點研究報告。
The professors write detailed evaluations of the students.These are combined with evaluations written by the students themselves.
教授結(jié)合學生的自評，給學生做詳細的評價。
Most teachers would probably agree that traditional grades are sometimes unfair.
大部分老師也許認為傳統(tǒng)的評分有時候不公平，
But professors at big schools say there is not enough time to write evaluations for each student in large classes.
但是一些大學的教授說他們沒有足夠的世界給大班級的每個學生寫評價。
