academic grading

Academic grading is a system used to evaluate and communicate a student’s level of understanding and mastery of course material. Grades typically range from letter symbols such as A, B, C, D, and F, with A representing excellent performance and F indicating failure. These letter grades often correspond to a numerical percentage or point system, helping schools quantify achievement. Grading helps teachers assess progress, guide instruction, and inform students and parents about academic performance. While criteria can vary by institution, the goal is to fairly measure student learning and encourage academic growth.
