Grading
In order to assess students' competence and performance accurately
and fairly, the Japanese Section has set up the following grading
scheme.
GRADING SCHEME (Japanese Section only)
PERCENT GRADE POINTS EVALUATION
100 - 95 A+ 9 EXCEPTIONAL
94 - 89 A 8 EXCELLENT
88 - 83 B+ 7 VERY GOOD
82 - 77 B 6 GOOD
76 - 71 C+ 5 COMPETENT
70 - 65 C 4 FAIRLY COMPETENT
64 - 59 D+ 3 PASSING
58 - 53 D 2 BARELY PASSING
52 - 47 E 1 MARGINALLY FAILING
46 - 0 F 0 FAILING
Please note:
- Each student's final grade will be calculated based on the
above grading scheme.
- Tests, quizzes, assignments and attendance are calculated in
figures to avoid subjective assessment as much as possible.
- A grade of "B" or above is strongly recommended to
advance to the next level, although "C" is the minimum
requirement.
- The grading percentages are set higher than in the standard
grading scheme because 10% of the total grade is
allocated for attendance and participation.
- The marks will be available on-line. Please check your
interim grades prior to the course drop deadline.
- Fractions are not rounded up. (e.g. 70.99% is considered as
C, but 71.00% is C+.)
