GRADING CRITERIA:

The rating scale presented below is the basis for assessing work submitted by participants in this course. (Items weighted to a different base/overall maximum score, as a rule, will be composites developed from the below, and/or scaled from it.)

The scale is designed so that consistently good and/or excellent work will score a B+ to an A. Fair to good work will score a C to a B, and marginal work, a D; this accords with the Seminary’s published Grading Criteria. (Please compare Syllabus.)

SCALE:

Rating Point	“Equivalent” Percent Score	Generic Behavioural Descriptor
8	100	Excels at this task: nominal and/or brilliant performance.
7	87.5	Good: solution generally sound, but with a gap or two (as indicated).
6	75.0	Fair: solution acceptable, however there are significant flaws that should be corrected (as highlighted).
5	62.5	Marginal: solution workable, but the flaws materially affect its quality. Underlying knowledge and skill gaps should be corrected.
4	50.0	Increasingly poor/unacceptable: major gaps in capacity/knowledge dominate the attempted solution. (There may be material gaps in the underlying prerequisite knowledge, attitudes and skills required to succeed in this course.)
3	37.5
2	25.0
1	12.5
0	0	No attempt/disciplinary intervention.
