Instructors evaluate students' academic performance in accordance with the grading standards specified on the syllabus of their courses for that term. If a student attends less than 3/4 of the classes, his/her grade will be 'F'. Scores are calculated based on one's mid-term exam, final exam, assignments, quizzes, attitude, attendance, presentations, etc. (A calculating method can differ from each instructor).
Lecture courses and combined courses (lecture & experiment) are evaluated with a letter grade. Courses that instructors have difficulty with giving exact grades for such cases as seminars, master's research, doctoral research and etc. can be evaluated with S (successful) or U (unsuccessful). Grades over D-, and S are recognized as acquired credits. Details of grading system are as follows:
GPA is defined as follows:
(GPA should be calculated down to two decimal places and the numbers to three decimal places should be rounded off.)
Students can see their grades during the correction period right after the end of the term. If a student has an objection about the grades and he/she is justified, he/she can request grade correction from his/her instructor. Notice: When a student does not participate in course evaluation, he/she is not allowed to browse the grades. Objection and correction is not allowed after the correction period in principle.
