3 Course Grading Scale: Percentages Points (500 possible) A A B B C C D D E E Please note--there will be one grade assigned based on the above course grading scale. Your lab and lecture grade will be the same. Progression in the HIT program requires that the student earn a grade of C or better in this course. Grades of D or E are considered failing. If a student fails this course, it must be repeated with a passing grade of A, B, or C in order to continue in the HIT program. HIT courses are only offered once a year, so the student will have to wait to take the course until the following spring. All courses must be taken in sequence as specified by course pre-requisites unless permission is granted by the program director. Exams: There will be 3 unit examinations and a comprehensive final examination at the end of the semester. Each exam is worth 100 points for a total of 400 points.
