In order to acknowledge achievements and monitor progress, Korean language program needs a realistic and meaningful system for grading performance. In general, I award "A" grade to acknowledge achievements that go beyond specified course requirements and criteria. By its nature, this type of performance cannot always be spelled out explicitly in advance. As are reserved for special efforts that exceeds expectations by demonstrating exceptional linguistic abilities, skills, development, commitment, or creativity. In this course, B, C, and D grades are awarded for praiseworthy, above average performance, satisfactory, average performance, and minimum passing performance, respectively. Those who do not satisfy the minimum course standard will be assigned F grades.

A   = 93~100%	A - = 90~92.9%
B+ = 87~89.9%	B    = 83~86.9%	B - = 80~82.9%
C+ = 77~79.9%	C   = 73~76.9%	B - = 70~72.9%
D+ = 67~69.9%	D   = 63~66.9%	B - = 60~62.9%
F    =   0~59.9%
