Evaluation & Grading

All assignments will be graded A-F using a 100-90-80-70 scale where:

A+ = 97-100 is exception work, extremely creative, professional and greatly exceeds what is expected

A = 94-96.9 is excellent work, creative, professional and exceeds what is expected

A- = 90-93.9 is very good work that shows some creativity, is professionally done, and goes beyond what is expected

B+ = 87-89.9 is good work that is professionally done and goes beyond what is expected

B = 84-86.9 is good work that is professionally done and meets the basic requirements for the assignment

B- = 80-83.9 is work that meets most of the requirements for the assignment but not all

C+ = 77-79.9 is work that meets some of the requirements but not all

C = 74-76.9 is work that meets few of the requirements but does include some of the required work

F = 0-73.9 is work that does not meet the requirements as described in the assignment or that is not completed
