IT SUCKS
They instituted it here at Nebraska last year. Basically you get punished across the board, particularly here since before hand they had (+)'s given for like an 89% or real borderline cases that ended up as a 3.5 on transcripts...now a B+ is a 3.33.
I got screwed out of scholarships b/c of the damn (-). I needed a 3.5 GPA to keep them, and under any other grading scale I used I had a 3.5, but under the only one that counted I ended with a 3.41. I wouldn't be so opposed to the system if they had accordingly adjusted the scholarship requirements to the B+ average it had always been. The other thing is that there is no bonus for getting an A+.
It also sucks for people who get all A's but one happens to be an A-, so they don't get a 4.0.
That also sucks they are spending $$$ to implement. (what are they having to spend money on though?)
