Course Letter grades
A = All learning activities above completed and submitted. All or most activities received an "Exceeds Expectations" assessment. To receive an "A" grade requires that you demonstrate significant efforts towards and engagement with your learning, our research, and our learning community.
B = All learning activities above completed and submitted. All or most activities received an "Exceeds Expectations" assessment. The quality of your learning, research, effort, engagement, and contributions to the learning community were high.
C = All learning activities above completed and submitted. All activities received an "Exceeds Expectations" or "Meets Expectations" assessment. Your research, effort, engagement, and contributions to the learning community were adequate but not distinguished.
D and No Credit = All or most of the learning activities above were completed and submitted but the quality was uneven (e.g., meets expectations and does not meet expectations) and the expected commitment to your learning and our community of learners was not sufficiently evident.
Pass/Fail = If you are taking the block pass/fail, to receive a "pass" assessment you must meet the expectations for a "C" letter grade.
The addition of a '+' or '-' to a letter grade is a qualitative and holistic assessment of the quality of all learning activities and your effort and engagement.
For any activity to receive an "Exceeds Expectations" assessment it must be submitted on-time unless extenuating circumstances have been discussed.
