Modifiers have little effect on fall grades
|
|
This past semester, grade modifiers took effect for 1000, 6000, and 7000 level courses. Grade modifiers add A-, B+, B-, C+, C-, and D+ to the course professors’ grading lexicon, to be used at a professor’s discretion. Though the change for this year primarily affects freshman and graduate students, in Fall 2006, 2000-level courses will be able to be graded with modifiers, and in Fall 2007, so will 4000-level courses. This is significantly different from the implementation of most academic policy changes at RPI, which are usually included in the catalog for incoming classes and do not apply to upperclassmen.
