Grading Criteria: The grading criteria are as follows.
A: work is exemplary. It not only follows the guidelines of the assignment; it goes above and beyond them. There are no grammatical, stylistic, or structural mistakes.
B: work is above average. It follows the guidelines of the assignment. There are minimal grammatical, stylistic, or structural mistakes.
C: work is average work. It will follow the guidelines of the assignment, but with noticeable grammatical, stylistic, and structural mistakes.
D: work does not exist in this class. There is no logical case to give Ds on individual assignments, though by law of averages, you may end up with a D in the course.
F: work fails to meet requirements of the assignment, and/ or has significant grammatical, stylistic, or structural errors. Failure to hand in an assignment earns a zero, not an F, which is to say, a zero is an F, but not all Fs are zeros. This is an important and significant distinction.
