Bonjour,
J’ai tente plusieurs fois de répondre au question mais je n y arrive pas j ai réussi à faire la question 3 et 4 cependant pas les questions 1-2 non .
Quelqu’un pourrait m aider?
French and American grading both use scales based on multiples of 10, so logically speaking, transferring grades from one system to the other should be simple. Nothing could be further from the truth, however.
Not only are the values assiened to the scales entirely different (the French 10/20 is a far cry from the American 50/100), but the diversity and odd weighting of the U.S. system-which varies from one state/district/school
5 to the next and essentially only occupies the upper end of the grading scale associated with the subjectivity and variability of grading in the French system, all make it incredibly hard to find precise correspondences between the two.
Yet students, translators, and university officials are often asked to "translate" grades from the other system for school transcripts or as part of university exchanges. Doing so is never ideal, and in practice, the result is 10 seldom satisfying, but it is also frequently unavoidable.
To explain why this task is so challenging and attempt to surmount some of these difficulties, what follows is a brief primer on the differences between French and U.S. grading, along with an attempt at finding an equivalent for grades between the two systems.
The U.S. Grading System
15 For starters, a brief primer on the U.S. system.
While the details vary, the basis of the American grading system is the 100-point percentage scale.
This scale is broken down into five letters: A, B, C, D, and F.
In theory, each of the first four letters corresponds to 10% of the scale and F is used for everything below the top 40%:
20
• A (90-100%)
• B (80-89%)
• C (70-79%)
• D (60-69%)
• F (59% and below).
25 In practice, however, there is a great deal of variation in what the letters are used to mean.
For instance, many school systems or higher-education institutions will use part of the scale for "minus" and
"plus" grades (e.g. A-minus = 90-93%).
Some schools also use a stricter scale, in which A=93-100%, B=85-92%, C=75-84%, etc. Often this scale is applied on a county or parish level, so even within a single U.S. state, several different systems can be in
30 place.
What's more, even in individual schools, different proprans such as AP or honors classes can use different scales, and at the college/university level, institutions generally have full discretion to implement their own grading systems.
Generally speaking, a passing grade is a D or above (60+%) in primary and secondary school and a C or above 35 (70+%) in college and university-level courses, although this, too, varies a bit.
While there is obviously a certain level of subjectivity in non-multiple-choice grading, teachers tend to use the system in a relatively consistent way. An A generally corresponds to very high-quality work, a B to above-average work, a C to mediocre work, a D to poor work, and an F to unacceptable work.
For school transcripts, the letter system is also used to calculate students' overal! GPA (grade point average).
40 In this system, A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, and F=0 (without regard for pluses or ininuses). Add up the point total
'for all classes in a given period, divide by the number of classes, and you obtain the student's overall GPA.
