Reading for A’s

In the United States and some Western countries, textbooks in public elementary and middle school belong to the school. They are issued to the students. The students must not write on any page or mark any part of the textbook in any way, except for cheap paperbacks. When a textbook is issued or returned, its condition must be recorded in terms of New, Fair and Poor. In contrast, textbooks in colleges are bought by the individual students; they can cost about $200 a semester. Many students, however, buy used textbooks sold by former students.

Grading System:

The following grading system is used in most colleges or universities in the United States: A, Excellent; B, Good; C, Satisfactory; D, Low or Pass; F, Fail; I, Incomplete; W, Authorized Withdrawal; Z, Unauthorized Withdrawal; P, Pass; NP, No Pass. To maintain satisfactory academic standing and to qualify for a degree, an undergraduate student must have completed courses with the average grades of “C” or above, and a graduate student must have the average grades of a “B” or above.
