What is a typical
grade composition?
The grading methodology is up to instructors, and it is usually
dictated by standards used at a particular university and rules
of grading recommended by the organization by whom the university
is accredited.
- For a regular in-class course, a typical grade composition
can consist of
- final 30%
- midterm 20%
- 6 cases/research assignments (each 5%) 30%
- 4 timed tests or quizzes (each 5%) 20%
- For individual special studies course, an instructor may
choose to put more weight on cases and research assignments.
-
- For course completion of a PEOI registered student with instructor
supervision, the grade composition for a professional course
can be
- - in-person final exam 50%
- - 6 e-mailed assignment reports (each 5%) 30%
- - course work and on-line tests (each 2%) 20%
- - plus bonus points for comments and/or group work participation
- - plus or minus points for quality of note taking
-
- For course completion of a PEOI registered student without
an instructor, the grade composition for a professional course
is
- - in-person final exam 70%
- - course work and on-line tests (each 2%) 30%
