This time, an exceptional number of "A" performances at upper level, which gladdens the heart!
We also enjoyed three of our best ever senior capstones!

Glossary

Scores in column headed "20%" or 30%" weights count in formula; other scores & grades are advisory only.

College rules now require an "FA" grade if full term absences exceed 25%.

As always, registrar's information is definitive, and this page is purely advisory.

SAs=essay scores. L=Late; Sh=Short; E=Early; XX=omitted answer; N=No citations on paper.

C.R.O.W.=Content, Research, Organization (& citation), & Writing grades, on papers.

C.A.S.O.=Content, Audiovisual, Speaking & Organization grades, on Capstone presentations.

N.C.O.W. = Narrative, Content, Organization and Writing (more weight is on N&C than O&W) on capstone essay exams

Class participation primarily includes quality and quantity of discussion, with some adjustments.

Abs.= recorded absences. Bold red indicates excessive absence rate for the whole term. "FA" means "Failing on Account of Absences".

Please notify the instructor of any factual errors.

(Papers or essays involving cheating, for example plagiarizing, of course, may subsequently be failed.)
