GRADING SYSTEM
Letter grades are given to let students know how well they are learning the material in their courses. Each instructor chooses the factors he or she believes are important in deciding which grade to give. For each letter grade, there is a corresponding number called a grade point. These are used to get a numerical expression of a student’s work.
The table below shows the grades, descriptions, and their grade point equivalents:
- A, Excellent, 4.0
- A-, 3.7
