Antioch University New England uses a credit/no credit system supplemented by faculty evaluation of four dimensions of your learning in all courses, Supervised Independent Study, and master’s projects.
The four dimensions evaluated are:
- Class participation
- Mastery of course content
- Quality of documentation (papers, tests, and oral presentations)
- Overall course performance (a summative category)
One of the following evaluative descriptors will be assigned in each of the four dimensions assessed:
- Outstanding
- Excellent
- Very Good
- Good
- Satisfactory with concerns
- Unsatisfactory
In assigning evaluative codes, faculty will be guided by the meanings attached to each rating in the chart of Evaluative Descriptors (PDF 161K).
Additional narrative comments will be provided to the student on or attached to the final paper or project presented for credit.
In order to receive credit for a course, you are required to verify that you have acquired proficiency in the specific learning objectives of the course. You must submit all required work to the instructor by the due date and the work must be of “satisfactory with concerns” quality or better in the category of Overall Course Performance.
