Summer 2002

Jack A. Tompkins

Students will complete a Presentation Rubric for each presentation. The evaluation document includes six categories of assessment, each graded on a range from one through four. If a student delivers a perfect presentation, the score would be 24 points (= 6 categories x 4 points/ category). The grade recorded for each presentation will be an average of the student’s self-evaluation (25%), the average (not including the highest and lowest when there are more than 3) of the peer evaluations (25%), and the instructor’s evaluation (50%). Thus, a perfect final average would be 24

Grade scale

Your final grade will be determined according to the following scale:

            Final average                Grade  

            21.0-24.0                     A

            18.0-20.99                    B

            15.0-17.99                   C

            13.0-14.99                    D

            Less than 13.0               F

The instructor reserves the right, solely at his own discretion, to curve grades.

Incomplete grades

Incomplete grades are given only very rarely and only when the student is

-         Otherwise passing the course,

-         Able to complete the work of the course entirely on his/her own, and

-         Prevented from completing the course by verified unforeseen circumstances beyond the control of the student. 

The instructor MUST be able to certify all three of these factors to the chair before assigning a grade of "I".
