Understand what your grades mean
Description of the grades
To get a HD, your work must be "exceptional" and "excellent" such that you deserve the "highest... recognition". A presentation like this would be a special one that is practically flawless.
D means the work "clearly deserves" to be called "excellent". A presentation like this gets everything correct, even if it isn't special or fancy.
C means it's better than average. There are some minor mistakes here and there, nothing seriously wrong, nothing very special, but interesting, nice, acceptable (most groups tend to get this).
P happens when you fulfil just the basic minimum and survived: you got some ideas correct, the audience thought you were unclear or not so professional but understood you somewhat.
F happens if you got many concepts and calculations wrong or failed to present.
