Fellow Zer here, my elective IT class had grading done depending on how well you could use the computer:
'A' if you could do everything perfectly well, 'B' if you needed some help from the instructor, 'C' if you needed a lot of help, 'D' if you couldn't even get past the login screen on the windows machine.
We had a lot of people who got a pity 'C-'
Those who continue to do business with them will be punished
