My school, Colorado State University-Pueblo, did a half assed, chicken shit implementation of +/- grading my last semester there in fall '03. They allowed each individual teacher to choose whether or not to implement it. Of the five classes I took that semester I would have had a B+ in four classes and a B- in one. Of course the four classes I would have had a plus in were classes my teachers did not implement it. The one class I got a B- in was naturally the one the teacher chose to implement it in, so I ended up with less than a 3.0 semester. I'm not opposed to +/- grading, I think there is too big of a gap between an 89 percent B that just missed being an A, and a 70 percent C that just missed being a D to only have one point separating them, but it has to be fairly implemented across the school, not just an option.
