Course Assessments

All credit courses have a formal method of evaluation and assessment. Your course outlines will communicate the evaluation scheme for each course, identifying assessment methods (assignments, projects, tests, etc.) that contribute to the final grade. Assessments are designed to evaluate the level at which you demonstrate the established course learning outcomes.

Tests

You will need to go to the Quizzes tool in eCentennial to write and submit your quizzes and tests.

Tests or assignments conducted remotely may require the use of online proctoring technology where your identification is verified and their activity is monitored and/or recorded, both audibly and visually through remote access to your computer and web camera. Your myCard ID may be required when you write your tests. If you require an alternate assessment format you must communicate this in writing to the instructor as soon as possible and prior to the test or assignment due date to explore mutually agreeable alternatives.

If students are unable to write a test they should immediately contact their professor or program Chair for advice. In exceptional and well-documented circumstances (e.g. unforeseen family problems, serious illness, or death of a close family member), students may be able to write a make-up test.

Grading Scheme

The standard grading scheme for most courses is a letter grade ranging from A to F with each letter representing the equivalent percentage grade achieved in the course. Some courses have a Pass/Fail grading scheme. For these courses, a Pass does not impact your GPA but a Fail will. There are also other special grades that can be used for specific purposes.

Accommodations

Centennial is committed to providing the best possible education for all of our students. This includes meeting the needs of students who may require adjustments or accommodations to equalize their opportunities to meet the essential requirements of achieving the learning outcomes in a course or program.
