"Would you be in favor of a plus/minus grading system at Norwich?"

"Yes, because it will help the GPA."

"Being the underachiever that I am, I think a plus/minus grading system would make life worse at Norwich."

"I like it the way it is because if you got a
C-minus, it's just a C."

"No, because it benefits students on the lower end, but not on the higher end. So it will lower GPAs."

"Yes, because it will help for a more accurate GPA."

"Yes, because I think it will increase GPAs."

"I had it in high school, so might as well have it here."

"No, because it's not accurate enough."

"Yes, because I think it will work to the student's advantage, especially when applying to a graduate program."

"Yes, because some people will be really good and it will make it more fair."

"No, because I'm one of those students who need a C to pass, whereas it's better for those who get better grades."
