Grading System
|
|
|
|
Students whose attendance rate is less than 70% cannot get any evaluation. Evaluation is based on reports (30%), the term examination (60%), and the lecture participation (10%). By reports, students' understanding of every lecture is evaluated. By the term examination, basic knowledge, understanding, and application ability are evaluated. The evaluation is based on 11 grades. The ratio of A+ is not greater than 5% of registered students. The ratio of A+ and A is between 5% to 20% of registered students.
