Grading:
5.0
Mastery of course content at the highest level of attainment that can reasonably be expected of students at a given stage of development. This grade states clearly that the student has shown such outstanding promise in the aspect of the discipline under study that he/she may be strongly encouraged to continue.
4.5
Strong performance demonstrating a high level of attainment for a student at a given stage of development. The 4.5 grade states that the student has shown solid promise in the aspect of the discipline under study.
4.0
A totally acceptable performance demonstrating an adequate level of attainment for a student at a given stage of development. The 4.0 grade states that while not yet showing any unusual promise, the student may continue to study in the discipline with reasonable hope of intellectual development.
3.5
Performance higer than marginal, however not totally acceptable for an adequate level of attainment for a student at a given stage of development. The 3.5 grade states that the student may give some prospective groth in the discipline but he/she need change learning methods or/and increasing learning efforts.
3.0
A marginal performance in the required exercises demonstrating a minimal passing level of attainment for a student at a given stage of development. The 3.0 grade states that the student has given no evidence of prospective growth in the discipline; an accumulation of 3.0 grades should be taken to mean that the student would be well advised not to continue in the academic field.
2.0
For whatever reasons, an unacceptable performance. This grade indicates that the student’s performance in the required exercises has revealed almost no understanding of the course content. A grade of 2.0 should warrant questioning whether the student may suitably register for further study in the discipline before remedial work is undertaken.
