What's up with that? Has higher education changed that much?
My summer courses at a technical college were like that. I was too caught off guard by it until I realized the reasoning. Neither a D or an F is a passing grade. The course would need to be retaken regardless (or at least each of the schools i've been too thats the case). So I think its all just blanketed under an F now.
