Letter grades will be assigned to each graded item. Your final grade in the course will
be an average (based on Creighton's 4.0 scale) of the grades assigned to
individual assignments. Grades will be assigned based on the generic descriptions in the Creighton
University Undergraduate Bulletin, in bold, and the professor's more
specific descriptions (in parentheses). Please read these descriptions and decide to which
level you wish to aspire!
| Grade |
Description |
A (4.0)
|
Outstanding achievement and unusual degree of intellectual
competence (Student demonstrates commitment to the class through attendance, attitude,
preparation, curiosity) |
| A- (3.75) |
Not an official Creighton grading unit, but will be used for
an assignment that meets the intellectual requirements of an A, but has
mistakes in presentation (i.e., grammatical, punctuation, spelling,
sentence structure errors) |
B+ (3.5)
|
Excellent work (Student demonstrates commitment to the class
through attendance, attitude, preparation) |
B (3.0)
|
Attainment above the average (Student has consistent performance
even if it is not brilliant work; demonstrates commitment to the class) |
C+ (2.5)
|
Upper average work (Student demonstrates commitment to the class,
while earning middle to average scores; does revisions willingly; turns in work on time;
overriding impression will be that this student really tries, while performing at the
second or third level of competence) |
C (2.0)
|
Lower average performance (Student is
unable to perform at level of
most of the students; sloppy, incomplete, late work; lack of enthusiasm in performance;
exhibits boredom; mediocre or inconsistent performance on tests; overriding impression may
be that this student doesn't really care about the subject and his or her own work) |
D (1.0)
|
Inferior, but still passing (the student's work is only
marginally acceptable either because of poor understanding or because quantity of work
completed is insufficient) |
| F (0.0) |
Failing |
