on a H/HP/P/F system?
Yep, P=MD on any sort of P/NP system (there's almost as much variety in P/NP systems as there are EMT levels. My favorite is the Honors/High pass/ Pass/Low Pass/Fail. After all, A/B/C/D/F is too complicated). Alternatively, my school currently reports the percent grade, so the saying is 70=DO.
Of course, as I said earlier, a good course director can design a test to get any average they want. Also, at least in medical school, there is a formal process to remediate classes that a student failed as well as a formal monitoring committee (Student Performance Committee). I'd say, on average, somewhere around 5% of the class fails each course at my school (about 5-10 students). However it is extremely extremely easy to booch an exam.
