Grading Philosophy
All LEAD core and elective course work will be assessed and evaluated reflecting the program’s competency based scale. Our philosophy of assessing demonstrable competency is represented through a consistent grading policy in every LEAD course. This program assessment is designed and implemented to demonstrate learning through engagement, contribution, and the creation and presentation of high quality deliverables.
