When we first got to Carlow, we were told the grading system is a bit different here. It's actually quite rare to get an 80 or above on much of anything. I knew going into it this was the case, but I still freaked out when I saw a 74 on my Educational Psychology class paper. Turns out, that's equivalent to a high B/A-ish range. If you choose to participate in this program, don't let it freak you out too much. :)
