Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

 

APC Document 23:                                                       Add IP Grading Option for ECON 480

 

 

Effective Date: Fall 2009

 

 

1.   Add:           On p. 123, in the description of ECON 480, after “ECON 480 should be taken in a

                        student’s final semester:”

 

An IP grade may be awarded at the discretion of the instructor.

 

Impact:

None.

 

Rationale:

Students are sometimes unable to complete the senior research requirement in a timely fashion. Rather than giving students incompletes, or requiring students to retake the course, an IP grade is a more appropriate option for these students.
