Grades

You will need to submit three documents before a grade can be issued: 1) Supervisor Final Evaluation, 2) Student Final Evaluation, and 3) Technical Report. Your academic advisor (or a designated instructor) will review these documents and recommend a grade.

Due to the number of reports that must be graded each semester, the reports are typically not graded in time to submit a grade by the end of finals week. As a result, students are initially assigned a "P" for "Progress".

Once the reports are graded, a grade will be submitted and the "P" grade will be replaced by a letter grade, which will be posted to your official transcript. You will then be notified to collect your technical report from the Co-op Office.

In most majors, the credits can be used for free electives or technical electives pending department's approval. Talk with your academic adviser for specifics regarding your situation.

If your report is within one week late, your grade will be reduced by 1/2 of a letter grade. Your report will be docked 1/2 letter grades for every week late after this as well.

Reports will be graded on the following criteria:

• Abstract
• Adequate coverage of company background
• Adequate discussion of duties and responsibilities
• Overall assessment of essay response
• Clarity, organization and proper documentation
• Grammar, punctuation and spelling
• Employer evaluations
