Mastery Level Learning Paradigm - The student is responsible for attaining and demonstrating predetermined levels of competency at set educational landmarks within the course. These exams will be summative and students will be required to successfully complete the exam before going on in the course. There will be a minimum time delay between retakes of examinations set by the instructor to require the student to review the material. Students are given the course objectives and can choose which level of competency that they wish to achieve. In this system, Satisfactory means competent.
Honors means more than competent.
Failure to attain and demonstrate the predetermined level of competency results in a grade of Unsatisfactory. Attaining and demonstrating the predetermined level of competency results in a grade of Satisfactory.
