The following is our grading system: A - (100-93) Excellent, B - (92-85) Very Good, C - (84-77) Good, D – (76-70) Poor,  F – (69-0) Failure.  In addition to their workbook exercises, students are also graded on such other factors as attendance, appearance, and attitude.  Instructors discuss the student’s progress with them periodically.
