Evaluation And Grading

EVALUATION AND GRADING

Evaluation and Grading at Enigma Business School (EBS) ensure that academic performance is measured fairly, transparently, and consistently across all programs and levels of study. The evaluation system is designed to reflect student achievement in conceptual understanding, analytical capability, and applied business problem solving, while respecting the self-paced learning model.

Grading combines continuous assessment and final evaluation to provide a comprehensive overview of student performance.

Evaluation Framework

Academic evaluation at EBS is based on multiple performance indicators:

  • Quiz results from each course

  • Final essay assignments for each course

  • Participation in case-based learning and reflective activities

  • Final graduation examination (multiple-choice test)

  • Academic integrity compliance

Evaluation emphasizes what students can understand, analyze, and apply rather than memorizing information.

Grading Components and Weight Allocation

Each course grade typically consists of:

  • Module Quizzes: 30%

  • Final Essay Assignment: 60%

  • Academic Integrity and Participation: 10%

Upon completion of all required modules:

  • Graduation Exam: Pass/Fail requirement (mandatory)

These percentages may vary slightly based on program level or specialization, but they reflect standard academic practice at EBS.

Grading Scale

EBS uses a letter-based grading system modeled after international academic standards. Each letter grade reflects overall academic achievement:

  • A = 91 – 100 (Outstanding)

  • B+ = 81 – 90 (Excellent)

  • B = 71 – 80 (Satisfactory)

  • C+ = 61 – 70 (Good)

  • C =51 – 60 (Fair)

  • D = 41 – 50 (Needs Improvement)
  • F = 0 – 40 (Fail)
  • I = Incomplete

Minimum passing grade may vary by program, but students are encouraged to achieve at least a C or higher for course completion.

Pass Requirements

To successfully complete a course, students must:

  1. Pass required quizzes with minimum score

  2. Submit a final essay assignment that demonstrates conceptual understanding

  3. Maintain academic integrity standards

To complete a degree, students must:

  • Pass all course modules with minimum academic standards

  • Pass the Graduation Examination

Graduation qualification is confirmed only when all academic and administrative requirements are fulfilled.

Feedback and Commentary

  • Written feedback on assignments

  • Comments identifying strengths and areas for improvement

Feedback supports continuous learning and scholarly development.

Academic Integrity in Grading

All work submitted must be original. EBS applies integrity policies through:

  • Honor code enforcement

Plagiarism, falsification, or unauthorized assistance may affect grading and result in disciplinary action.

Incomplete Status

A course may be marked Incomplete (I) if:

  • The student fails to submit required assignments

  • A technical or personal issue prevents completion

  • Evidence of progress exists but is not finalized

Students may request an extension based on legitimate reasons and documented proof.

Retake and Improvement Policy

  • Quiz: may be retaken within limits defined by LMS

  • Assignment: may be resubmitted once upon faculty approval

  • Graduation exam: may be retaken subject to examination policy and administrative fee

Academic improvement is encouraged throughout the academic cycle.
