Grade Scale
You are encouraged to do all activities with the potential of earning a maximum of 570 points. You must complete everything that is listed above as required, but you have some flexibility on what to choose for your remaining points. Important Note: Although it is mathematically possible to earn 400 points without doing some 20 point items, you must complete everything marked required. If you fail to complete a required category, up to twenty points will be subtracted from your final grade for each missing category.
I encourage you to take advantage of all opportunities above as the more time on task, the better your French will be. The language exchanges and online tutoring will really improve your ability to communicate in French, so do not miss out! Questions? Email me!
NOVA Online proctored or major assessments are required to maintain compliance with our accreditation standards and the Higher Education Act’s identity verification requirements for online courses. College-wide, proctored or major assessments must prove identity. To accomplish this in online courses, students must show overall passing levels on the proctored or major assessments in order to pass the course.
In this online course, if your average score on all proctored or major assessments is a passing percentage of 60 percent or higher, then your grade will be calculated according to the scale in the table below. Otherwise, a final grade of F will be assigned.
Your final grade will be based on the scale listed below.
Grade | Points | Percent |
A | 513-570 pts | 90-100 |
B | 456-512 pts | 80-89 |
C | 399-455 pts | 70-79 |
D | 342-398 pts | 60-69 |
