GRADING SYSTEM

In accordance with the academic policies at George Mason University, I use the following grading system.

A - Excellent

900 - above
B - Good

800 - 899
C - Satisfactory  

700 - 799
D - Passing

600 - 699
F - Failure

Below 599

I employ the entire range of this grading system in this class. Kindly do not assume that all grades receive a minimum of B. Only quality work is rewarded with good and excellent grade.

Average (Satisfactory) work is the baseline. Average work is that anyone can produce, it is average. Good work (B) and better requires additional effort, initiative, creativity and a good understanding of the subject matter. Let's keep the spirit of the grades and produce "good" to "superior" work for high grades.

Your overall grade in this course depends on your performance on the following components:

  • Assignments
  • Tests/Exams
  • Term Project Report
  • Presentations
  • Participation

My expectations, from your work, are relatively quite high. Instead of assuming on what is required, kindly come speak to me about my expectations.

Grade disputes should be brought to my attention within FIVE working days of grade posting.
