GRADING Student grades are an objective evaluation of progress in tests, quizzes, written assignments, homework, daily class work, special projects, etc. The grading scale at Padua is as follows: A+ 98-100 A 95-97 A- 93-94 B+ 90-92 B 87-89 B- 85-86 C+ 82-84 C 79-81 C- 77-78 D+ 75-76 D 72-74 D- 70-71 F 69 or lower "U" grade: An "Undecided" grade may be given, for the first semester grade of a full year course, to those students who have shown consistent effort, but whose average is between 65-69%. Assignment of a “U” grade is at the discretion of the teacher. The "U" will count as "0" credit toward the G.P.A. calculation. If the student passes Semester 2, this "U" will be changed to a "D-" in June and credit will be given for both semesters. If the student fails the second semester, the "U" grade is to be changed to an "F" grade and no credit will be given. 41
