How will you be graded?

CREDIT SystemFor this class you will longer be “directly graded” by project. Instead you are being graded upon your working knowledge, skills used/acquired, techniques and overall execution of these traits.

How will you be graded?

CREDIT SystemIn order to track and monitor this a credit based system has been established. In order to success demonstrate the curricular competencies for this the course the following minimum credit benchmarks have been established.

• Apprentice (1st year) = 225 Credits• Journeyman (2nd year) = 250 Credits•Red Seal (3+ years) = 275 Credits

How will you be graded?

Project QualitySimilar to previous years your projects will still be evaluated. However, Instead of receiving a grade for your project, the quality and execution of your project will effect the how many credits you receive.

• High Quality Project = Bonus Credits• Appropriate quality project = No change• Poor quality Project = Fewer Credits

How will you be graded?Projects will continue to be Evaluated on the same 4 point scale used

• 1 – Inadequate
