Grading
Your grades will be calculated using numbers for points, which will translate into letter grades according to this standard.
| points | grade | what it means | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 94 > 90-94 |
A A- |
Mastery of course content at the highest level of attainment that can reasonably be expected of students at a given stage of development.
The A grade states clearly that the student has shown such outstanding promise in the aspect of the discipline under study that he/she may be strongly encouraged to continue. |
|
| 87-90 84-87 80-84 |
B+ B B- |
Strong performance demonstrating a high level of attainment for a student at a given stage of development.
The B grade states that the student has shown solid promise in the aspect of the discipline under study. |
|
| 77-80 74-77 70-74 |
C+ C C- |
A totally acceptable performance demonstrating an adequate level of attainment for a student at a given stage of development.
The C grade states that while not yet showing any unusual promise, the student may continue to study in the discipline with reasonable hope of intellectual development. |
|
| 67-70 64-67 61-64 |
D+ D D- |
A marginal performance in the required exercises demonstrating a minimal passing level of attainment for a student at a given stage of development.
The D grade states that the student has given no evidence of prospective growth in the discipline; an accumulation of D grades should be taken to mean that the student would be well advised not to continue in the academic field. |
|
| < 60 | F |
For whatever reasons, an unacceptable performance.
The F grade indicates that the student's performance in the required exercises has revealed almost no understanding of the course content. A grade of F should warrant questioning whether the student may suitably register for further study in the discipline before remedial work is undertaken. |
