How are cadets graded on their courses?
A computerized grading system enables instructors to keep a continuous evaluation of each cadet’s performance on quizzes, examinations, homework and classroom recitations. A progress grade report is published at mid-semester and a final grade report is issued at the end of the semester. Most courses are graded by means of letter grades (A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, F) with equivalent grade point averages (4.0, 3.7, 3.3, 3.0, 2.7, 2.3, 2.0, 1.7, 1.0, 0). An incomplete (I) grade is given to a cadet who does not complete the academic requirements because of incapacity, emergency or failure to finish an essential assignment. Some courses are graded pass/fail and have no effect on grade point averages.
