Evaluation System

Evaluation: Relative + Absolute

Grade distribution:

1. About 35% of students: A (Including A+/A/A-)
2. About 45% of students: B (Including B+/B/B-)
3. About 20% of students: C and below

Further details regarding letter grades and attendance:

1. If your total score is above 20% but does not exceed 30%, you will receive a “D” regardless of the percentage above.
2. If your total score does not exceed 20%, you will receive an “F” regardless of the percentage above.
3. You may be absent up to three times. If you exceed three absences, you will receive an “F” for the course. No excuses for absences will be accepted under any circumstances. Please note that the first class (the first week) will not be counted toward your absence total.
