FAQS

Key features of CBE grading:

• Each criterion in a deliverable assessment rubric has a possible score of 0-4.
• A student must earn a passing score of 2 or higher for each assessment rubric criterion in order to earn a passing score on that deliverable.
• A student's overall score on a deliverable is equal to their lowest score on any one assessment rubric criterion. For example, if a student scores a 4 on the first criterion of the deliverable rubric, a 3 on the second, and a 1 on the third, their grade for the submission would be a 1. All criteria would need a score of two or higher for an overall score of 2, a 3 or higher for an overall score of 3, etc.
• Students must demonstrate a high level of competency in every area (criterion) in order to move their grade higher.
• A student must also earn a passing score on all seven deliverables in order to pass the course as a whole.
