A note on german grades: They are of numerical value, in the range of 1 to 6. One is best, six worst. For more flexibility in grading suffixes + and - are possible. Numeric only indication of a suffix is addition/subtraction of 0.3 to/from the base value.
Rough translations:
| 1 | very good |
| 2 | good |
| 3 | satisfactory |
| 4 | enough/sufficient |
| 5 | unsatisfactory/poor |
| 6 | inadequate |
