I could swear I once saw somewhere in under duke.edu a pdf that lists undergrad institutions across the world with a way to interpret their grades qualitatively. I can't find it anymore. Is there any other document that tells for various institutions how to interpret their grades?

9No, of course not. There isn't even a normalizer for undergraduate grades between different instructors of the same course in the same department at the same university. – JeffE Nov 28 '15 at 17:51

1@JeffE I'm sure there is a counter-example to that claim. – Anonymous Physicist Nov 28 '15 at 19:05

Not true. I definitely saw a document that does such normalization, I just can't find it anywhere. – Normalizer Nov 28 '15 at 21:09

@JeffE: As a counterexample to your claim, see myedu.com. – Nov 28 '15 at 23:27

1@BenCrowell If there's a grade normalizer there, I can't find it, and I wouldn't trust its accuracy. See http://easy-a.net/about/ for actual data about grade distributions at my university over a five year period, derived from FOIA requests. In some of the larger courses, average grades for the same course vary by more than a letter grade between sections, depending on the instructor. – JeffE Nov 28 '15 at 23:47
