Teachers do not enter letter grades, only % grades. The system generates the letter grades. Qualitatively, a C is supposed to mean meeting basic standards, B is proficient, and A is advanced. D basically means you received credit for the course.

And, of course, it's all converted to a 4.0 scale for transcript purposes.

I like HK's system. I had one o-chem prof who graded on a weighted curve, which was good on the midterm for which the class mean was in the lower teens. (I'm proud to say I did just manage to beat the curve!)
