Class structure & grading

Class Structure & Performance Grading

Understanding the foundational separation between your admission cohort ( Class ) and your demonstrable competence ( Grade ).

AXIOM: SEPARATION OF CONCERNS
Class is where you start. Grade is how you perform.
CLASS = ENTRY LEVEL & DURATION Reflects the student's background experience upon entry, determining curriculum pacing and required instruction hours (180 days vs 90 days).
GRADE = DEMONSTRABLE MASTERY Reflects the verified quality of weekly deliverables, timed assessments, attendance, and code audits. Every student is graded on the same objective scale.
