Only change in this policy--if a teacher uses a 100 point scale, the lowest grade a student can receive is a 50. A 50 is still an F or U.
Purpose of change to create an equal distribution of points for each letter grade. If a teacher uses a 4 or 5 point scale they can still give zeros since they have equal distribution of points for each letter grade.
