This message applies to anyone who is teaching a professional development course. Recently we have seen an increase in the number of “Incomplete” grades given for coursework. The “Incomplete” should only be given if an assignment is late and will be submitted within a short period. Please see the clarified instructions below for grading. Instructors, as you enter your grades, please remember 100% attendance is required.
Depending upon the type of class, your choices for grading are as follows:
• A/B/Pass – Participants have met all requirements as outlined on the course proposal for the appropriate grade.
• F/Fail – Comments are required (attendance/course requirements were not met) – participants will NOT see your comments.
• I/Incomplete – This should RARELY be used! Only use an “I” if the assignment is expected to be turned in within a short period of time. Again, comments are required and participants will NOT see your comments.
• NC – if participants did not desire credit, but did participate in the course.
Examples:
• Teacher A took your course, but didn’t show up the last day. Grade = F
• Teacher B took your course, was there the entire time and participated in the course, but didn’t complete the assignment. You haven’t heard from the person and he/she doesn’t return your e-mails OR tell you directly he/she doesn’t want credit. Grade = F
• Teacher C took your course, but contacted you regarding a family emergency that is precluding them from completing the assignment by the due date. He/she has requested an extension and you agree. Grade = I. When the assignment IS complete, come back into this screen and change the grade to A/B/Pass.
