Academic grades are assigned based on multiple evaluation components, which may vary by course according to the instructor’s syllabus.
Evaluation components include attendance, reports, midterm and final exams, learning activities (e.g., Q&A, discussion rooms, resource libraries, free boards), team projects, and other practical training.
At this university, grading is primarily conducted on a relative scale. Relative grading assigns grades by evaluating students' actual scores relative to the distribution of scores within the same course. Consequently, even a high score may receive a lower grade if most students achieve similarly high scores, reflecting the overall performance of the class.
Relative Grading Standards| Score Range | Grade | Grade Point | Distribution Percentile | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 95~100 | A+ | 4.5 | Within top 30% | Within top 70% |
| 90 or above–below 95 | A | 4 | ||
| 85 or above–below 90 | B+ | 3.5 | ||
| 80 or above–below 85 | B | 3 | ||
| 75 or above–below 80 | C+ | 2.5 | Remaining percentiles | |
| 70 or above–below 75 | C | 2 | ||
| 65 or above–below 70 | D+ | 1.5 | ||
| 60 or above–below 65 | D | 1 | ||
| Below 60 | F | 0 | ||
| 60 or above | P(Pass) | Satisfactory (Pass) | ||
Some subjects, such as practical training courses, may be graded on an absolute scale in accordance with university regulations if specific criteria are met.
Invalid Grade (Failing Grade) Processing- Students who are absent for more than one-quarter of the total class hours will receive an F grade.
- If a score of 0 points is recorded for any assessment item other than attendance, an F grade will be assigned.
- Grades are announced on the designated date each semester after the instructors complete grade entry. Students can check their semester grades by logging into the website and navigating to Learning Statistics > Academic Records > [Grades].
- Completion of the student course evaluation for the relevant semester is required before grades can be viewed.
- Grade: The letter grade awarded based on a 100-point scale, including A+, A, B+, B, C+, C, D+, D, and F.)
- Grade Point Average (GPA): The weighted average of grades converted to a 4.5-point scale.
- Score: The points earned for a course on a 100-point scale, used to determine the corresponding grade.
- Grade Distribution: The percentage of students assigned to each grade level under the relative grading system.
- Credits Earned: The total credits for which a passing grade (excluding F grades) were awarded.
- GPA Calculation Method: Calculated by dividing the sum of (Grade Point × Course Credit Hours) for all courses by the total credit hours registered.
Calculation Method : {Grade x Number of course credits) + (Grade x Number of course credits)......}/Total credits
Grade Appeal- Students with concerns about grades may request a grade adjustment from the instructor during the designated grade appeal period.
- If the instructor finds the appeal valid, the grade may be adjusted within this period.
- After the grade appeal period, grade correction requests are generally not allowed.
- Grade corrections made after final grades are confirmed usually do not affect class rankings.
- Credits previously earned may be revoked if found to have been granted in error or through academic misconduct.
