I just sent you a friend request <| sep |> yup , alla fin fine nazifascismo col vestito bello . E qua da noi basta togliere il nazi ed hai il quadro completo . <| sep |> So a D is technically considered passing , but certain classes especially classes that are prerequisites for other classes may require a higher grade . In general , most classes are scaled so that the average is somewhere in the C range . This can be accomplished through a variety of methods and can either help or hurt your grade depending on how they do the scaling I have friends who have had professors use scaling systems that don ' t send everyone ' s grades in the same direction , but at my school I ' ve never heard of a professor doing that . So if they make about a 75 average , roughly half will get at least a C , some more will get Cs and Ds , and some will fail . It also totally depends on the course though . I ' ve taken classes where the average was in the high 70 s or low 80 s
