10. Grading Procedures GRADING SYSTEM
My grading system is based on an accumulation of points.
90% - 100% = A
80% - 89% = B
70% - 79% = C
60% - 69% = D
59% - 50% = F
Percentages are calculated by dividing the earned total of points by the total number of possible points. This answer is then multiplied by 100.
