The system evaluates all over 100 points and converts them to letter grades.
The percentage of the midterm exam and other activities determined by the faculty member that does not fall below 50% of the final exam contribution is used to calculate the success grade. The faculty member sets the letter grade limits. A student must receive at least a letter grade of CC to succeed in a course.
