Grading Guidelines and
Conversion Tables
Instructor:
Prof. Ahmed E. SOUAIAIA
In all my courses, I make all efforts to ensure that each
student's work is fairly and without bias evaluated and assigned grades
based on valid academic criteria and based on the student’s individual
performances. Fairness to students also implies reasonably consistent
grading among courses of the same level, other things being equal. Depending on the
course level, the grades distribution—based on the College of Liberal Arts &
Sciences historical data—will be roughly as follows:
|
