Change log

Sep 16, 2015 08:15: Neil Ashby changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): Charles Davis, Billh, Neil Ashby

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

has achieved sufficient credits

An option.
NB: NO CAPITAL LETTERS required in "sufficient credits"...

"... the decisions 'Pass' or 'May Proceed' are available for a student who has achieved sufficient credits to progress to the next year of study."

agree Charles Davis : Or obtained would do too. Main thing is no article.

Obtained, attained, gained. Funny how they all end in "-ained".... or is it just me?

I feel "attain" is slightly more formal, but it may just be my own subjective take on it.

has attained sufficient credits

One attains a Masters or PhD through a lot of hard work, it's not like just nipping out to "get" (obtain) a newspaper. It's a slight difference, but a difference.

v.tr.
1. To gain as an objective; achieve: ****attain a diploma by hard work.****
2. To come to or arrive at, as through movement, growth, or the passage of time: Redwoods can attain a height of 300 feet.
v.intr.
To succeed in a directed effort, process, or progression: attained to high office; eventually attained to wisdom.

Thanks Neil
neutral philgoddard : I don't accept this distinction. "Obtain" doesn't mean it's easy.

Well several dictionaries do accept and make that distinction.
