Credits are generally applied to a student's academic major or minor, or to the home institution's upper level general education requirements. Students should work with their advisor to decide the best way to apply
the credit.

Grading
Evaluation of your work is based on many factors.  These include but are not limited to: participation, written and oral projects and examinations.  A "C" grade indicates adequate performance, a "B" grade indicates good, competent and complete work, and an "A" grade indicates excellent, creative and integrative work revealing superior analysis and content.
