DETERMINING YOUR GRADE

We believe in a unified and common grading scale for all courses. The following
scale will be used to determine the letter grade assigned to each student for each
class taken: 93 - 100 = A 90 - 92 = A- 87 - 89 = B+ 83 - 86 = B 80 - 82 = B- 77 -
79 = C+ 73 - 76 = C 70 - 72 = C- 67 - 69 = D+ 63 - 66 = D 60 - 62 = D- 59 and
below = F

Formative 20%, Summative 80%

Both assessments and daily practice are an important factor in determining

student mastery of a course. All work must be done on time to keep up with the
classroom instruction and projects.
