	Letters & Science Academic Advising :: What Grades are Available at UCSB?
		Letter grades are used in calculating the university grade-point average.
		Letter grades A through D can be modified with a plus (+) and minus (-), which add or subtract 0.3 grade points (except that a plus added to an A does not add.3 grade point).
		The Withdrawal Grade (W) will be assigned when a student withdraws from the university or receives permission to drop a course after the deadline for course withdrawal set by the executive committee of the college or school in which the student is enrolled.

		Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) The grade of S is awarded to graduate students for work in graduate courses that otherwise would receive a grade of B– or better and for work in undergraduate courses that otherwise would receive a grade of C– or better.
		Provisional grades of IP are assigned in the intervening quarters and are replaced with the final grade at the completion of the sequence.
		An I grade must be replaced with a letter grade (or P or S grade) before the end of the third succeeding quarter (excluding summer sessions) of the student’s academic residence, or the grade will revert to an F (or NP or U).

		Grade point average is a number quantity representing a student's academic performance of a semester, trimester, or school year.
		Grade inflation is perceived by some to be problematic for schools because it is seen as a dilution of standards.

		The "W" grade will automatically be assigned by the Registration and Records Office when a student officially withdraws from a course between the sixth and thirtieth instructional day of the quarter, or prior to the completion of sixty percent of the course.
		The "WP" grade may be assigned by the instructor to indicate that the student did not complete enough of the course to be graded and achieved a passing grade while in attendance.
		The "WF" grade may be assigned by the instructor to indicate that the student did not complete enough of the course to be graded and did not achieve a passing grade while in attendance.

	DCS grading programs: letter grades
		Letter grades are a reasonable way of assigning marks to student work, but a poor way of representing calculated marks, unless you're prepared to be very careful.
		The conversion table between letter grades and numerical marks assumes that the maximum mark is 100.
		Presumably, a calculated letter grade is safe if it represents a final course grade that is supposed to be out of 100, and if the formula giving the calculated letter grade has a total weight of 100.

		Grade of C: A grade of C implies that the student should have a mastery of the basic content of a mathematics course, which usually consists of a body of knowledge, interrelated concepts, and various techniques.
		Grade of A: The key criteria are: ability to synthesize and evidence of creativity.
		Grade of B: Intermediate to A and C; having all the qualities of C and some of those of A. Grade of D: Intermediate to C and F. Routine problems can be successfully worked only sporadically or clear expositions can sometimes be achieved but not with sufficient frequency to earn the grade of C.

	Hoover Institution - Education Next - The Looming Shadow
		The greatest improvements should be seen among schools that had already received one F grade from the state, since their students would become eligible for vouchers if they received a second F. To test this hypothesis, average FCAT scale-score improvements for schools were broken out by the grade they received the year before.
		Schools that had received D grades and were close to the failing grade that could precipitate vouchers’ being offered to their students, by contrast, appear to have achieved somewhat greater improvements than those achieved by the schools with higher state grades.
		In fact, because the letter grade is based on the percentage of students scoring above certain thresholds and not on the average score in each school, the high-scoring F schools actually have slightly higher initial reading and math scores than do the low-scoring D schools.

	What is the equivalent letter grade for my GPA?
		The Grade Point Average (GPA) is an average of your grade points on a numeric scale of 0-4, not a letter grade.
		Thus, assigning a letter grade to the GPA is not a practical or a particularly useful approach, although we recognize that it may be an interesting exercise.
		Although assigning a letter grade to the GPA is not a practical exercise, you can see that a GPA of 3.6 is just under the A- letter grade.

	Grading: Teaching and Learning @ UW
		Grades do not exist in a vacuum, but are part of the instructional process and serve as a feedback loop between instructor and student.
		If your grades are skewed at the high or low end, or are not in line with your colleagues, meet with your colleagues to discuss what your questions or assignments are designed to evaluate.
		Ideally, your grading criteria should be implicit in everything you say in class; the ways you define and analyze problems and present evidence should model the very processes you want to see in student work.

	NAEP High School Transcript - How is Grade Point Average Calculated?
		Numeric grades are converted to standardized grades as shown in the following table unless the school documents specify other letter grade equivalents for numeric grades.
		In this scale, the letter grade ‘A’ equals four points, the letter grade ‘B’ equals three points, the letter grade ‘C’ equals two points, the letter grade ‘D’ equals one point, and the letter grade ‘F’ equals zero points.
		Grade points are points per course credit assigned to a passing grade, indicating the numerical value of the grade.

	UofM Course Calendar 2006-2007: Academic Regulations - The Letter Grade System
		Final grades in most courses are expressed as letters, ranging from D, the lowest passing grade, to A+ the highest.
		Each letter grade has an assigned numerical value which is used to calculate grade point averages.
		Some courses are graded on a pass/fail basis and because no numerical value is assigned to these courses, they do not affect grade point averages.

	Grades
		Grade Point Total - Grade point total is the sum of grade points earned as determined by multiplying the grade point value of the grade by the number of course credits.
		Grade Point Average - Grade Point Average (GPA) is the quotient of the student's grade point total divided by the grade point credits.
		If your instructor confirms that the grade is not an error and you believe the grade is not reflective of your work for the course, be prepared to discuss and present your reasons for challenging the grade.

		A grade of '0' indicates that that the score was actually '0'; a student with no grade at all on an assignment will have no grade recorded for the assignment.
		Without this option, a student who has a grade on any assignment will be included in the statistics for that assignment, and a grade report will be displayed for each student who has received any grades in the course.
		If a student has a grade that doesn't fall in the interval of any letter grade, no letter grade is assigned to that student.

	Craig DeLancey, Grading Policy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Grade inflation, fueled perhaps by a consumeristic model of education which encourages us to see a degree as something purchased rather than earned, has greatly eroded the utility of grades.
		In recognition of grade inflation, I take the class mean to be a B- and just 1 percent away from a C+ (this is inflation, since traditionally the mean was supposed to be a C).
		Thus, if the raw class average were a 50%, then a raw grade of 50% would be a B-; 49% would be a C+; and if the standard deviation were 10% and I was using 0.7 as a multiple, then 57% would be an A-, and 43% would be a C-.

	What grade do I need to get on the final?
		The method described here is the simple grade point method in which the final grade is calculated as the weighted average of the numerical equivalents of the letter grades for each course component.
		You can also fill in grades for tests that you have not taken yet if you want to see what effect these hypothetical grades you have entered for those tests will have on your overall grade.
		The weighted average grade points are equal to 3.502 divided by the total of all the component weights which is 1.00.
