Course Grading

ALL STUDENTS: Grades will be tracked through Canvas. We are competency-based, which means you must complete everything before a final grade will be issued and credit will be given for a class. This means the following for individual assignments in the Electronic Engineering Technology Department:

- Score 80% or higher on quizzes.
- Labs and other assignments will be scored with a Complete/Incomplete. You must receive a “Complete” on all labs and assignments.
- Your Final Grade must be B- or higher to receive credit for the course overall.
