The true aim of everyone who aspires to be a teacher should be, not to impart his own opinion, but to kindle minds. -- Frederick W. Robertson
Pass/Fail vs. Letter Grades-All courses within the English Education Program are to be taken for a letter grade, with the exception of the Masters Seminar which is graded Pass/Fail. Foundation courses, taken outside of the English Education Program, may be taken for either a letter grade or P/F, depending on the policy of individual instructors.
Incompletes-The English Education Program does not give Incompletes except in extreme situations. Any request for an Incomplete must be submitted in writing and the reasons for requesting such a grade must be detailed. The decision to grant an Incomplete is solely at the discretion of the instructor.
Attendance-Students are expected to follow attendance policies as stated on course syllabi. Completing course work without attending classes is not sufficient to receive a passing grade.
