Grading Rubrics

In order to increase Student understanding of how projects, class work and presentations are evaluated, the CGA program has developed grading rubrics. A grading rubric provides a framework for the categories which will be reviewed and evaluated to determine the student's grade on a project. The following rubrics will be used in this CGA course for grading.

 


Course Grading Scale

Grading for this class is calculated using a straight forward mathematical formula. You can determine you grade at any time by dividing the number of points earned by the total points. For example, if I have earned 950 points out of 1300 total points, the grade would be a 73 % or C-.
