How we Grade and Assess
 
  • Student behaviour (participation, adherence to classroom rules, etc.) will not be included in grades. If skills and participation are a curriculum outcome they can be measured and assessed using a rubric.

  • Students will not be given points for extra credit or bonus points.

  • For group scores, individual achievement evidence must be present.

  • Attendance will not be used in grade determination; however, attendance is critical to meet with success. Prolonged absences will certainly affect grades.

  • Clear descriptions of achievement expectations will be provided (rubrics, exemplars, etc.).

  • Grades will be based on a student’s individual achievement.

  • Quality assessments developed in departments or from essential learnings will be used as evidence of learning.

  • The most recent achievement will be used when learning is developmental.

  • When possible, the student will be involved in the grading process (developing rubrics, assessing exemplars, self-evaluating, etc.).

  • Students are responsible for course work completion as per the guidelines on the course syllabus.
