| + | Guide to the meaning of letter grades | ||
| + | The following is a guideline to the grading scale used. It is a copy of the York University official grading scheme. The first number within the parenthesis is used to combine individual grades into a single grade. When grades are combined exact integers may not result so the range following the first number within parenthesis maps back to the letter grade. | ||
| + | |||
| + | A C grade means doing only what was asked for, a B grade means doing a good job on what was asked for, and an A grade means doing a good job and showing originality. Originality in the undergraduate environment means doing things that were not explicitly asked for but are useful additions or extensions of the work - doing things above and beyond the call of duty. | ||
| + | |||
| + | A+ (9 - 8.5 .. 9) Exceptional - Thorough knowledge of concepts and/or techniques and exceptional skill or great originality in the use of those concepts and techniques in satisfying the requirements of a piece of work or course. | ||
| + | |||
| + | A (8 - 7.5..8.4) Excellent - Thorough knowledge of concepts and/or techniques together with a high degree of skill and/or some elements of originality in satisfying the requirements of a piece of work or course. | ||
