What is your program's grading system?

I'm just curious to know if the ADN programs out there are similar..

Clinical for us is pass/fail with no grade reported.

Theory is one quiz per week (20 points each) and 1 midterm and 1 final (both 50 points each). That's your entire grade. It works out to less than 400 total points possible (first semester). I'm not sure if this makes it easier or more difficult given the fact that you don't have a lot of opportunity for accrual of points. If you blow two quizzes your grade is potentially screwed. The class is 11 total units so that grade is an 11 unit grade. Which is of course more like 3 A's/B's/C's.

Are others being graded the same way or are you being graded seperately on Pharm etc?

Theory passing grade is 75% or greater.

Lab/ Clinic is pass / fail. Lab/ Clinic has minimum evaluation criteria that must be met. Three unsatisfactories in Lab / Clinic result in a fail.

In our program, if you do not successfully pass either theory OR lab/ clinic, you have failed the module.

Final 35%

Hesi 5%

To pass theory you have to get at least 78%. Quizzes and exams are determined by the individual instuctor. (meaning how many tests they choose to give you)

Clinicals are pass/fail.

Clinical pass/fail

lecture 75% to pass

some classes have 2 unit exams worth 25% of grade each and a cummulative final worth 50%. Other classes have 3 unit exams worth 17% each and a final worth 50%. Either way the final can make or break you.
