3.24 Common Grading System
The grades in the common grading system have the following meaning:
| 1 | = | excellent | outstanding performance; |
| 2 | = | good | performance above average standard; |
| 3 | = | satisfactory | performance meets average standard; |
| 4 | = | adequate | performance meets minimal demands in spite of deficits; |
| 5 | = | inadequate | performance fails to meet demands due to severe deficits. |
For a refined assessment, intermediate values are used by increasing or reducing the individual grade by 0.3; the particular values 0.7, 4.3, 4.7, and 5.3 may not be used.
