The harder classes need to be either widened for each grade category or the GPA scale needs to be tweaked. I pulled off a B- in both stats 1 and stats 2. I tried my best in both of them, yet I received a below-average score, which is supposed to indicate that I put in a below-average amount of effort. BS!!

4 B's and 1 A means that your average is a little better than a B, so a 3.2 is showing exactly that.
Who is the all-mighty person who is going to decide which classes are "harder" than others? Some people might ace stats but have major problems writing an English paper.
As a teacher, it drives me crazy when someone says that a B- is below average. NO IT'S NOT!! It's above average, by definition. I do not think that grades are necessarily a measure of the amount of effort, either. Sometimes, though, if the effort is there, I will upgrade a student's marks BECAUSE of the effort. Is that fair to everyone in the class?
Bottom line... you choose your school. If a +/- system doesn't work for you, you have the option of going to another institution.
