Please read and seek to truly understand the following about grades:

Does a C grade mean I have done poorly? A “C” reflects a satisfactory level of achievement. It does not mean you have performed “poorly” nor does it mean that you have failed to learn anything. Please read definitions below:

A = Superior, far exceeds average expectations; assignment significantly goes beyond requirements with great depth, attention to detail, and professionalism.

B = Far above average, fully meets average expectations; assignment goes beyond requirements with depth, attention to detail, and professionalism, but not as thorough and insightful as an “A”.

C = Average, meets minimum expectations and satisfies assignment requirements.
