Sample grading rubrics

ASU's grading policy outlines the value of each grade (A = 4.00, B = 3.00, and so on) that is used when calculating the GPA. Because the syllabus is considered as the official contract between a student and a professor, we ask that a specific breakdown of the course's grade policies is included (e.g., how many points or what percentage constitutes each letter grade). This detail helps provide clarity and avoid grade disputes. Please note that what follows are samples used by other academic units in the past.

Sample 1

(Sample) Grade Scale

A+	98-100%	B-	80-83%
A	94-97%	C+	78-79%
A-	90-93%	C	70-77%
B+	88-89%	D	60-69%
B	84-87%	E	Less Than 60%

Given the amount of extra credit offered in this class, grades will not be rounded.
