Grading: Evaluation of student performance is based upon pupil performance objectives relating to

course competencies study. The number of competencies mastered and the degree of

mastery is translated into appropriate grades consistent with the C-TEC Board of

Education policy on grading guidelines, practices, and procedures.

In the process of evaluation, instructors obtain several grades for each student within the

time frame of the program/course. These grades may include, but are not limited to,

performance on tests, quizzes, homework, assignments, special research projects,

classroom participation, lab competency mastery and/or improvement and the

demonstration of positive employability traits.

Evaluation and Grading:

The student is evaluated based on class performance, and must complete the course with

a grade of “C” or higher.

Evaluation is directly related to the performance objectives.

Performance is measured by examination, assignments,

and/or quizzes.

The letter grade is based on the percentage of the total points

earned
