The faculty member has the responsibility to explain to students in his or her classes at the beginning of each term the specified grading standards to be used along with a statement of the goals and objectives of the course to be taught. We strongly encourage that you include your explanation of specified grading standards in all course syllabi. An explanation of the grading standards in the course syllabi is the best way to provide students a clear understanding of course expectations and provides the best evidence that the explanation was provided. C. Posting of Student Grades. When posting grades of students who have given their consent for the posting of grades by social security number, the faculty member should not arrange the list in alphabetical order.
Final examinations are discretionary in all undergraduate courses within any given department.
Examination papers of students shall be kept in the departmental file of the faculty member giving the examination for one year after the examination is given. Faculty members leaving the University before the completion of the year must leave the examination papers in the departmental files. See the Directory of Classes for the University Final Examination Policy. E. Student Evaluation of Instruction Student evaluation of instruction is required for faculty in Florida universities. The results of this evaluation are public records open to students and other interested parties.
