SYMBOLS FOR MARKING ATTENDANCE
In order that each instructor’s attendance and grade book may be interpreted, all instructors employ the following symbols to indicate each student’s attendance, absence, or tardiness:
? Present
e Excused absence
O Absent
® Present but excused
(T) Tardy
© Made-up absence
GRADING POLICY
One unexcused absence, no penalty.
Two unexcused absences, final grade reduced one-half letter; i.e., from B to C+.
Three unexcused absences, final grade reduced one letter; i.e., from B to C.
Unexcused absences for more than 10 per cent of class meeting, automatic failure.
No student who misses more than 30 per cent of the total class periods (whether excused or unexcused) can receive credit for a skills and techniques course.
MARKING SYSTEM
CHECK-OUTS. 50 per cent of final mark.
1. Procedure. Everyone starts with a mark of 85. Any deviation from average class performance in the measurable elements will be noted in the class roll book by a series of check symbols, which will effect the mark of 85 as follows:
Inferior performance, mark a minus check ” — “. Subtract two for each minus check.
Very inferior performance, mark a double minus check ” = “. Subtract four
for each double minus check.
Complete lack of ability or unexcused absence, mark a zero “0″. Subtract six for each zero mark.
Outstanding performance, mark a plus check ” + “. Add two for each plus check.
Superior performance, mark a double plus check “++”. Add four for each double-plus check.
2. Measurable Elements. Check daily any deviation above or below average.
A. Attitudes and interest (workmanship, responsibility, and industry).
B. Competence (periodic check-outs of skill in maneuvers and sequences).
C. Leadership (refereeing, recording matches, and teaching).
COMPETITION. 50 per cent of final mark.
1. Each student is scheduled for five matches against opponents as near his weight and ability as possible. (See competition schedule and score sheet .)
2. A cumulative rating (see competition record card) is maintained for each student on the basis of the result of each match in accordance with the following scoring system.
3. Scoring system for recording each match:
Win fall, +5. Lose fall, -5.
Win decision, +3. Lose decision, —3.
Draw, —1 for each contestant.
Win by default due to accidental injury, +3.
Lose by default due to accidental injury, 0.
Win by default due to injury from illegal hold, +5.
Lose by default due to injury from illegal hold, —5.
Excused from competition, 0.
Each man gains a fall: fastest, +2; slowest, —2.
Unexcused absence, —5.
4. Record of competition:
Each competitor’s score is recorded on the competition record card after each match. His rating is then computed and this rating is used for scheduling his next match against an opponent equal in rating and weight.
5. Evaluation of the competition:
The cumulative score on the competition record card is the sum of all the match scores and is the rating used to determine the competition mark from the following chart.
6. Chart for transforming the cumulative competition score into a mark for the competition.
If the rate is a plus number, the mark is located in the top row above the rate number. If the rate is a minus number, the mark is located in the bottom row below the rate number.
7. Final Mark: The competition and check-out marks are averaged and the numerical mark is converted to a letter mark as follows:
A+, 97-99
B+, 87-89
C+, 77-79
A, 93-96
B , 83-86
C, 73-76
A-, 90-92
B-, 80-82
C-, 70-72
D+, 67-69
F, below 60
D, 63-66
I, incomplete
D-, 60-62
