Credit-Bearing Students complete all exams and work as described in the course syllabus. They earn a final grade based on the established grading scale for that course. |
Non-Credit Bearing (Auditing) Students are assessed using a learning contract. We collaboratively develop learning goals and objectives for each student. A rubric measures progress towards each goal. |
