ENGLISH 098: DEVELOPMENTAL WRITING

GRADING

English 098 is offered on a Credit/No Credit basis only.

Credit:

• A student may receive Credit if he or she earns a “Pass” score on the portfolio from two different readers. However, the grade of “Credit” is at the instructor’s discretion even with a “Pass” on the portfolio.

No Credit:

• A student will receive “No Credit” if he or she earns a “Fail” from two different readers on the portfolio. Students who do not submit portfolios will receive “No Credit.” Instructors may refuse to accept a student’s portfolio if the student has not completed the work as stated on the syllabus.

Appeal:

• Instructors may appeal a “Fail” grade on a student’s portfolio by writing a letter (email is encouraged) to the coordinator of the developmental writing program, giving evidence why the student should receive credit for the course. The letter accompanied by the re-submitted portfolio will be read and evaluated by the Coordinator of the program and the Director of Composition. Students may not appeal without the instructor’s letter.
