Student Evaluation

Various evaluation tools are used to evaluate student competency, including tests, written and oral presentations, discussion boards and group projects. All examinations are the property of the Program. The type of evaluation used in each course will be delineated in the course syllabus. Although some courses may be graded on a pass/fail basis, most course work will be evaluated by a letter grade. These letter grades will be converted to a Quality Point Index as follows:

The grade point average (GPA) is obtained by multiplying the numerical grade by the number of credits for each course (quality points). The total quality points are then divided by the total number of course credits completed.
