I am against the plus/minus system. I think that the disadvantages of getting a '-' greatly outweigh getting a '+', especially in the instance of getting an A- as opposed to an A. Using the plus/minus system also makes calculating a GPA more difficult and time consuming. I think all classes should stick to the traditional A/B/C/D/F system, to make it easier on everyone.

I am for plus minus grades. I seem to always be on the cusp of an A.
==================================================================================
I think the plus and minus system is a double ended sword. Pluses can be good to boost any grade and boost anyones gpa; however, minuses can destroy a grade. B- is just as bad as a c. I heard they may do something for A+ though...
==================================================================================
I'm not so concerned about plus-minus system. I would like to think that a grade of A- is as good as a grade of A.
==================================================================================
I am for the plus minus system. I think that the people who try a little harder to get a B+ instead of a B should be rewarded for thier hard work and some should be given a minus if they dont try as hard as others. However, I do agree with the person above that minuses can hurt grades even though you try your best. So i propose just a plus system...
==================================================================================
I do not like the plus minus system. Naturally I would try to do the least amount of work to get the appropriate grade. So if I want a 4.0 GPA then I try hard enough to get a 90% or whatever, no harder. So with the plus minus system the grade cutoffs are closer together so there is not as much slack off room!
I am not a big fan of the plus minus system. It always seems to hurt grades more than it helps them. But after reading one of these comments about proposing just a plus system, I'm all for that.
