**For journal article grading, select categories appropriate to author guidelines and recalculate total number of categories to be graded.

***All criteria must meet the Marginal level or higher and a score at least a B-/2.7/80% for a student to progress.

All final course grades of X.5 or higher will be rounded to the next highest whole number (example: 89.5 would become 90, A-). A grade of X.49 would not round up (89.49 would remain a B+).
