Your course grade will be determined by the graded assignments and the proctored assessments according to the following weighted percentages:
| Assigment | Points | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Graded Assignments (13) | 150 | 50% |
| Exams (2 proctored assessments, 1 at-home exam) | 150 | 50% |
Grades and points will be assigned for each of the course activities. Note: late work will not be assessed at full value with a letter grade penalty. A zero grade remains until the assignment is completed.
NOVA Online courses have a requirement for proctored assessments to maintain compliance with our accreditation standards and the Higher Education Act’s identity verification requirements for online courses. College-wide, proctored assessments prove identity so students must show overall passing levels on the proctored assessments in order to pass an online course. In this online course, the average of all proctored assessment scores must be a passing percentage (60 percent) in order for you to pass the course regardless of your scores on other graded activities. Please contact your instructor if you require any clarification on this proctored assessment policy.
Your final grade will be based on the following scale.
| Grade | Points | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| A | 270-300 points | 90%-100% |
| B | 240-269 points | 80%-89% |
| C | 210-239 points | 70%-79% |
| D | 180-209 points | 60%-69% |
| F | 179 points or less | 59% or below |
