The
following competencies will be achieved by each student for successful
completion of all courses. The level of achievement will influence each
students grade. This table illustrates an outline of how these skills are
graded.
| " A "Almost always executes
skills without supervision, can explain and show others. Able to solve
problems. |
" B " Frequently executes
skills without supervision. |
" C " Occasionally executes
skills without supervision. |
| " D " Infrequently executes
skills without supervision. Is in constant need of help. Normally needs
others to help complete work. |
" F " Almost never able
to execute skills without supervision. Cannot complete work without help. |
