Homework

For purposes of computing the grade point average (GPA) used for Honors awards at the end of each semester, the following system is used:

1. Grades are assigned a numerical equivalent according to the “four-point” system shown in the tables.

2. Half-credit and full-credit courses are weighted accordingly.

Effort marks are given in each subject to indicate the teacher’s estimate of the student’s attitude, cooperation, and effort, regardless of their achievement. Effort marks are numerical on a scale of ‘1’ (outstanding) to ‘5’ (unsatisfactory).

Honors lists compiled at the end of each semester and based on the semester’s grades are determined as follows:

Highest Honors are awarded for superior academic achievement (3.7 GPA). High Honors are awarded for outstanding academic achievement (3.4 GPA). Honors are awarded for excellent academic achievement (3.1 GPA).

Effort Honors are awarded for excellent effort (1 and 2 effort marks only).
