academic grading

My school is basically an EASA 147 school. However, due to the requirements of a number of sponsors, we have to provide an academic grading system using the CGPA system.

We had a short meeting and decided that the system will comprise of three items:

1. The policy of examination marking and records.

2. The scored points

3. The Credit Hours.

A. The Policy

Being a maintenance 147 school, our marking system, records and archive with have to comply to requirements of the local civil aviation requirements. As such

the grade point and the CGPA will only be a secondary data extracted from the original 147 marking system. The 147 schools normally use % marking system, where 100% is the mark if you get all the questions right.

B. The Scored points

This is grade point equivalent to the percentage marking. The following points system is used.

85-100 A 4.00

80-84 A- 3.67

75-79 B+ 3.33

C. The credit hours

This is the system to convert the hours taught to the figure to indicate the importance of the module. A score of grade point of 4 for module 1, which is taught within 72 hours should have a lower significant compared to module 6, which are taught in a longer time.

Calculation Of CGPA

The standard academic calculation is used.
