Grades
Here are my grades, in reverse chronology. Official academic transcripts can be provided upon request. I provide the grades here for transparency and in case anyone would like to know about my particular performances.
Readers are welcome to form their own judgments about my academic performance. I do not claim to be an exceptionally talented student, nor do I believe that I need to establish exceptional talent to justify my desire to pursue mathematics.
Regardless of how my abilities are judged, I love mathematics and intend to continue pursuing it. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to pursue mathematics, independently of their academic achievements or perceived talents.
I'm not going to say anything more to avoid turning this page into a manifesto, but I recommend the reader who is interested about me to check out the main idea.
MSc Mathematics, ETH Zürich
Note: the minimum grade is 1.0, the maximum grade is 6.0, the passing grade is 4.0. The numerical grades correspond to the following description:
| Grade |
Interpretation |
| 6.0 – 5.75 | excellent (ausgezeichnet) |
| 5.5 – 5.25 | very good (sehr gut) |
| 5.0 – 4.75 | good (gut) |
| 4.5 – 4.25 | satisfactory (befriedigend) |
| 4.0 | pass (genügend) |
| 3.5 | fail (ungenügend) |
| 3.0 | poor (schlecht) |
| 2.5 | very poor (schlecht bis sehr schlecht) |
| 2.0 | extremely poor (sehr schlecht) |
| 1.0 | not measurable (nicht messbar) |
The courses with pass/fail assessments are student seminars or mini-lectures.

Letter grades mean the following:
| Grade |
Interpretation |
| A+ | The course's academic objectives were surpassed and the student has gone above and beyond expectations |
| A | The course's academic objectives were fully attained and the student has demonstrated particular capabilities during the course |
| A- | The course's academic objectives were fully attained |
| B+ | The course's academic objectives were mostly attained |
| B, B- | The course's academic objectives were generally attained |
| C | The course's academic objectives were partially attained with adequate knowledge to move on to more advanced work |
| D | The course's academic objectives were minimally attained with persistent weaknesses |
| E | The course's academic objectives were not attained |
| F | The course's academic objectives were not attained as the student demonstrated no or little effort (e.g. numerous unexcused absences, failed to attend final exams) and/or committed/attempted to commit an academic offense (e.g. cheating, plagiarism). |
Grades ranging from A+ to D are passing grades which allow students to receive ECTS credits. Grades of E and F allow students to take remedial exams. When a student passes a remedial exam, s/he can only receive a maximum grade of C. This grade replaces the failing grade initially obtained.
