DePaul Grading Policies
Establishing Fair, Effective Grading Practices
One of the most important things we can do is to be explicit with our students about what grades mean in the class and how students earn them. Your
syllabus should include specific descriptions of the criteria and methods to be used in evaluating academic performance. Many faculty find
rubrics to be helpful means of evaluating students' learning.
