Grading

A. Criteria & Method

  1. 1) Grades are given based on attendance/progress/assignments (e.g., reports, projects)/board participation/assessments (midterms, final). The percentage breakdown is determined by the professor, usually shown on the course syllabus.
  2. 2) All assessments are marked on a curve (The total number of students for A+ to A- and B+ to B- should be from the top 0-35% respectively).

  2. 2) For PASS/FAIL subjects, the score and grade point do not affect the cumulative GPA.

D. ViewingGrades, Counseling & Corrections

In the event of discrepancies, students may receive counseling by e-mail or through the board from the lecturer once the grades are made available.

No grade changes can be made once the grades are finalized.

E. Grade Finalizing

Grades cannot be changed after they are finalized.

F. Grade-related Terminology

  4. 4) Grade Point: Grade translated onto a 4.3 point basis.
  5. 5) Grade Point Average: The total grade points divided by the total number of credits completed.
