- Level 3 Students who were numerically passing with a 60% or higher OR trying to be successful in the course (shown by attendance, engagement in class sessions, completion of all or most graded assignments) would be marked Passing (P) despite not attaining a 60% passing numeric grade.
- Level 3 Students who were not attending sessions, engaging in the lessons when in attendance in the sessions, and/or not completing graded work - resulting in <50% numeric grade would be marked as Failing (F)
- Summary of Conversations: I discussed the "guidelines" for the Pass/Fail grading system
