We at East Bridge University have developed a centralised database system for the evaluation and grading of assignments. The system allows the teachers to grade signature assignments using faculty-created rubrics. The database stored in our system enables us to access information about the student later which helps in computing the grades for students as well as analyse the strengths and weaknesses of students in terms of knowledge and skill development.
The grading rubrics of the assessment database system have been meticulously designed by East Bridge University, keeping in mind the students' vital skills, knowledge, and abilities to move forward in the bigger journey ahead. These rubrics are reflected in the assignments that are submitted by the students where they develop the necessary insights and expertise required to excel in their professional fields.
EBU’s online learning evaluation methods promote critical thinking and information analysis. Our evaluations are based on the materials submitted by the students such as projects, reports, and thesis. Each of the evaluated assignments will account for the final grade.
Each course subject comprises writing assignments which can be a project plan, business plan, reflective writing, lesson plan, critical thinking assignment, etc., and each assignment is evaluated on the:
PQT evaluation is based on how the student has understood the concepts and has been able to present those in case studies, and personal comments, and apply the concepts to problem solving.
The grading system of East Bridge University is as follows:
| Cumulative ( GPA ) | Grade Interpretation | Grades (%) |
|---|---|---|
| 4.0 | Higher Distinction / A+ | 90 - 100% |
| 3.7 - 3.9 | Distinction / A | 80 - 89% |
| 3.3 - 3.6 | First Division / B+ | 70 - 79% |
| 2.7 - 3.2 | Second Division / B | 6O - 69% |
| 2.0 - 2.6 | Satisfactory / C (Minimum Passing Grade) | 50 - 59% |
| Below 2.0 | Fail / F | Below 50% |
To earn any course credits, a grade point average of C (2. 0-2.6 - 5O - 59%) or higher is required.
The EBU Assessment Process is done in three phases:
Specialised Evaluation
Once an assignment is submitted, the EBU office reviews the format. If it meets the requirements, the assignment is sent to a professor for content evaluation. Professors are chosen from EBU's academic network based on their qualifications and availability. The professor has three to seven weeks to evaluate the work. If the grade is below 50-59%, the paper needs to be revised and resubmitted. The professor provides academic support and guidance to achieve a higher grade (60-69%). No further improvements are necessary for higher grades.
Supervision
The EBU Supervisor re-evaluates the paper after the specialized assessment professor. They focus on formatting, personal quality, and meeting EBU's standards. If there are significant differences in quality or grade, the supervisor may adjust the grade by 0.5 points (plus or minus 15%). They can also request another evaluation by a different professor for major discrepancies.
Final Grade & Transcript
The results of the evaluation and supervision of the papers submitted (report, project, or thesis) are presented to the Academic Board faculty for final review and formulation of the grades, certificate or transcript. Finally, the Academic Board member will sign the corresponding diploma/degree and transcript.
