The problem is that most people shoot for the lowest possible grade they can get to still get the same letter grade. For example, most people aim to get a 90% in normal 10 point scale courses. These people (myself included) are the ones who feel like they are being penalized by the +/- system. | The problem is that most people shoot for the lowest possible grade they can get to still get the same letter grade.

Definitely against the plus and minus system. I got all As and one -A last semester and it wasn't a 4.0 ):
The +/- system is a two-edged sword, but in general I am against it.
I feel that the systems has more disadvantages than advantages. There now can be such a small window in certain classes to get the grade.

Minus's definitely hurt, besides you can get an A-(3.7) but not an A+(4.3).
