Feedback, Finally

Halfway through week 10 and I finally got back a piece of assessed work. Today I was able to pick up my creative writing coursework, which it looks like my professor really liked! I'm pleased about that, obviously; her feedback was really positive. The grading scale is really different here, though, so the mark that I got would actually be really terrible back home. In theory they use a 100-point scale like we do, but in practice teachers rarely give above a 70%. One person explained it to me by saying that above a 70 is like post-graduate level work; undergrads basically could never write a good enough essay to merit a mark that high. So anyway, I got a 67% on my short story, which is actually the equivalent of an A-!

Here is a little UK-to-US grade conversion chart I found, for reference.
