Assessment and Grading

Your Measure of Success

Tests
You may take quizzes, tests, or exams online. These exams are often opened and closed at predetermined times and require you to complete them in a set amount of time.

Assignments and Discussions
Your online classroom features a syllabus that includes your learning objectives, an assignment schedule, and information on grading criteria. In addition to completed assignments, you’ll be evaluated on your classroom participation.

KAM Grades and Credit Award
Doctoral students in a KAM-based or mixed-model program plan their academic accomplishments and progress for each term with their faculty mentor. At the end of the term, the mentors provide students a grade of S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory).
