Grading Scale
The Department of Linguistics follows the University of Toronto's Assessment and Grading Practices Policy. Within those parameters, the Department of Linguistics interprets the graduate letter grading scale as follows:
- A+: The work is of extremely high quality, and/or is at a very advanced level, surpassing expectations for the student's stage of the program.
- A: The work is of very high quality, at an advanced level, comfortably meeting expectations for the student's stage in the program.
- A-: While the work is not without minor flaws, it is of sufficiently high quality, and at a sufficiently advanced level, that it meets expectations for the student's stage of the program.
- B+: While the work has clear academic merit, it falls somewhat short of what we expect from someone at this stage of the program.
- B: The work has academic merit, but it falls short of what we expect from someone at this stage of the program
- B-: The work has some academic merit, but falls substantially below the level expected at this stage of the program.
