How do foreign professors grade?
As in the US, different professors emphasize different issues in grading. Grading is also a cultural construct. For instance, French grades are typically calculated on a 1-20 scale. Nobody ever gets an 18 or higher, and at some institutions, 10 is the average grade. Americans used to 70% being passing might find this strange. You’ll need to talk with local students to understand the intricacies at each institution, as well as checking the grade conversion scale available on individual program pages.
