Grading
Reed encourages students to measure academic achievement by self-assessment of their grasp of course material and intellectual growth. Students receive frequent written and oral comments on their work. While a conventional letter grade for each course is recorded for every student, the college does not routinely distribute grades to students, providing work continues at a satisfactory level.
MALS students are expected to perform at the graduate level and to do B- or better work in all their classes. Below B-level work is considered unsatisfactory. A C grade is given to credit coursework that is unsatisfactory. An F grade denotes failure. An incomplete grade may be used in the same circumstances appropriate for undergraduate students. For the degree paper, B- is the lowest passing grade. Revisions to the degree paper are made at the discretion of the degree-paper adviser.
