Grading Information
 | Grades are assigned in the most objective manner as possible. All reports and journals
will be given standard grades, ranging from 4.0 -- excellent to 0.0 -- not passing, while
all other work will be given points. In order to understand what the distinction is
between an A grade and other grades, please review Report
evaluation. |
 | A report can be rewritten once after the original grading for an increase up to five (5)
points. For example, if a report received a 1.9 on the original submission, it can be
rewritten with the possibility of receiving a 2.4. |
 | Discussion postings, definitions, and other work will receive points based on
completion.
 | A plus-plus,++, designates work that is excellent and is worth 14 points. |
 | A plus, +, indicates an above-average rating and will receive 12 points. |
 | Average (what is expected) work will receive 10 points. |
 | Anything less than expected will be returned and will receive no points. |
