Hi peeps! Been given an English assignment and the professor said the grading scale is out of 30. Now, I've ended up with a 14 out of 30. Not exactly sure where I stand with this score. Is it good, bad, decent? Can someone shed some light?
Hello! Based on the scales traditionally used in educational institutions, a 14 out of 30 does not typically indicate a high score. If we consider this on a 100-point scale to understand it better, your score would be around 47 out of 100.
The interpretation of this score, however, will depend on various factors such as the complexity of the assignment, the grading practices of your professor, and the average performance of your classmates.
That being said, please remember that one assignment does not define your overall skill or potential! It might indicate areas that you could improve upon or might mean that you need to spend a bit more time preparing for similar tasks in the future. If possible, you might want to clarify with your professor what areas of your assignment led to lost points to better understand how to improve next time.
