Credit
and evaluation policy
-
The evaluation process is a central
feature of education at Evergreen that allows students to learn
by reflecting on their experiences. Students are required to submit
timely self-evaluations and faculty evaluations in order to receive
credit for the program.
-
Students receive credit for fulfilling
minimum requirements. Plagiarism or academic dishonesty may lead
to total loss of credit. Credit may be reduced because of unsatisfactory
performance or unsatisfactory attendance (missing more than one
class is unsatisfactory). Reduction of credit will require consensus
of the full faculty team.
-
Credit is not the same as positive
evaluation. It is possible to receive credit yet receive a poor
evaluation.
-
Incompletes will be discouraged and
require consensus of the full faculty team.
-
If any student has a health condition
or disability that may require accommodations in or to participate
effectively in class, he or she will inform the faculty and contact
Access Services (Library 1407-D, 867-6348). All information about health conditions and disabilities will
be regarded as confidential.
