There are some other grades which appear on grade cards. These are all explained on the back of the grade report, in the Timetable, and in the Universitys Programs Catalog. Every department at the University has a minimum grade-point average which must be maintained throughout your studies. You must have at least the minimum GPA in order to maintain good standing in your department and to graduate. The most common method of instruction here is the classroom lecture.
Seminars are more common at the graduate level and generally have small enrollment.
Students are often required to prepare presentations based on their independent reading or research. Students are expected to contribute to discussions in the classroom. It is not disrespectful for you to ask questions of the teacher. In many classes, part of your grade may be determined by your contribution to class discussion. In lecture situations, it may not be possible to ask questions.
