Points to Letter Conversion
Generally speaking, capstone projects should, in all relevant ways:
- exemplify the learning objectives;
- demonstrate the skills expected of a graduate;
- make appropriate trade-offs and judgments; and
- not suffer serious oversights.
A central premise is that the software should perform its intended function properly and in a unified way.
Here’s how we’ll convert your points to your letter grade. The Points column denotes the minimum amount of point to get the grade, e.g., 94 points or more will get you an A, strictly less than 60 points will land you an F.
| Letter Grade | Points | Description |
|---|---|---|
| A | 94 | demonstrates mastery on all learning objectives, with no oversights |
| A- | 90 | demonstrates mastery on most learning objectives, with some minor oversights |
| B+ | 85 | adequacy on all learning objectives, mastery of some, with some minor oversights |
| B | 80 | adequacy on all learning objectives, with some minor oversights |
| B- | 75 | adequacy on all learning objectives, with some serious oversights |
| C | 70 | adequacy on most learning objectives, with some serious oversights |
| D | 60 | significant shortcomings in learning objectives, major oversights |
