成績評価の方法と基準
Course Evaluation Method and Criteria | | Each instructor will be responsible for 100 points for a course-total of 300 points.
Evaluation will be based on in-class participation (0-30%) and assignments or examinations (70-100%), with percentage depending on the individual instructor.
Grading scale: A+=95-100%; A=80-84%; B=70-79%; C=65-69%; C-=60-64%, F=below 59%, of 300 point total.
Formal requests for special considerations concerning health problems etc. should be submitted with documentation through the student's Student Advisor as early as possible. |
