Standards for Grading Assignments
As
indicated below, “C” or 2.0 level work is considered
average. Leaders are not average people. You are
therefore expected (required) to put forth the
effort
necessary to demonstrate at least “B” (3.0) level work
or higher on all assignments which you submit. Any which
do not will be returned to you with input
from
your instructor on how you can raise your grade to the
expected level. A course grade will not be
given until your assignments
demonstrate that
you
have understood the material presented in the course and
allowed your life to be transformed by the Spirit and
the Word studied
— the
requirements for attaining a “B”.
Your
individual assignments (tests, written assignments,
etc.) will be graded according to the following
standards. These grades will be averaged together to
determine your course grade. ACU is training you as a
leader and leaders are above-average people. Therefore,
your work will reflect that.
“A” •
Grasped the material with thoroughness, industry and
correctness of detail.
•
Made the material his own by thinking about it and
integrating it, using
originality, natural ability, and insight.
“B” •
Intelligently has fulfilled the requirements of this
course.
•
Understands the subject matter presented and has applied
it to his life in a
limited manner but has not really made the truths his
own.
“C” •
Average work; either steady work of an acceptable
quality, or work of a high
quality which is uneven, irregular or fragmentary.
•
May be mechanically or outwardly correct but shows
little reflection upon or
personal assimilation of the material.
“D” •
Indicates barely passing work that is inferior to the
average both in quantity
and in quality.
•
Manifests a lack of initiative or sense of
responsibility or both.
