Grading language
We wanted to clarify the meaning of the "check", "check-plus", and "check-minus" grades
that are assigned to your weekly deliverables.
- Check. A "check" means that you have satisfied the requirements, but have not exceeded
them. *Simply satisfying the requirements is not enough to get you an A!* Therefore, you
can map a "check" onto an A- grade, or about a 90 / 100 score.
- Check-plus. A "check-plus" means that you have exceeded the requirements. You have
done things extremely well, or have done more than you were asked to. For an individual
assignment, a "check-plus" maps onto an A, or about a 97 / 100 score. For the semester
as a whole, you'll have to get a number of "check-plus" scores (I haven't done the math,
but you could) to earn an A for your project.
- Check-minus. A "check-minus" indicates you have not met the requirements, either because
you simply did not complete them, or you did a poor job. A "check-minus" maps onto a B,
or about an 85 score.
