Grading Standards

A professor shall have a written uniform, identifiable standard that shall be applied to all examination answers and other student work used to calculate any part of a student’s grade in the course. This standard may, but need not, quantify the precise allocation of points used to calculate the grade. A written copy of this standard must be shown, upon request, to the students who were graded under that standard.
Grading student work other than examinations, such as papers, performance in a clinical or simulation course, and classroom participation, requires far greater flexibility. Accordingly, the uniform, identifiable standard for such work may be much more general than for examinations.
A professor must keep for one (1) year, measured from the date grades are posted on myWilmU, some record from which they can inform the student of the manner in which the student was evaluated and graded in the course.
