• Common Grading Scheme for Undergradate Faculties

You have two weeks from the time grades are released on ePost to ask for your grading unit (Project or Labtest) to be marked again. Within the two week period submit your grading unit to the instructor and attach to it a document describing your precise concerns.

For each grading unit you are assigned a raw mark score that ranks you in the class. Also, you will be provided with a mapping from your raw mark score to a letter grade. The raw mark score is not a grade as it is merely used to rank you in the class (so, e.g. a raw mark score of 76 might be a C, not a B+, after the mapping is applied). The mapping will be supplied to you at the same time that your assignment is handed back to you. The final grade is computed from the raw mark scores and maps as shown here.

The meaning of the letter grades assigned by the mapping is givenhere.

You must complete and hand in the project to obtain a grade for the course.

Missing a Labtest will result in a score of zero – unless the official York attending physician's statement is filled out. With the official physician's statement, you will be awarded a letter grade for the missed component equal to the grade you obtain on the Exam
