Final Mark |
The final mark is a composite of all marks, weighted as
indicated on the course outline. |
It is a criterion-referenced mark. It is not posted on the
WEB site but is typically higher than the adjusted grade. |
Adjustments (Adjusted Grade) |
To obtain a score of relative standing the final mark is
adjusted to allow for a class average in the B+ range (approximately 78 percent). |
This provides one score of Relative Standing. To
address certain
limitations rankings are used for grades. |
Ranking |
Final marks are ranked and letter grades assigned
on the basis of rank. (Five percent in the A+ range, seven percent in the
A range, and so on.) |
This explains why some students have higher letter grades
than would normally be warranted by the numerical "adjusted grade." |
Letter Grade |
The letter grade reflects relative standing, as does the
adjusted grade. |
Letter Grades are submitted to the Registrar. |

Off-Campus Students |
Marks, ranks and letter grades could be somewhat different
for these students, due to snow days, missed assignments, additional
assignments, alternate tests, etc. |
Addresses minor inequities. |
Concurrent Students |
Ranks and letter grades are calculated as a separate class
for all concurrent students. |
This addresses the inequity based on the different tests
given to concurrent students, and any difference in chapter assignments. |
