Another update for you all:
I am completing the competencies on the Walden MBA tempo track and discovered some good news after not being able to figure out my "grade" for a bit. Somehow I expected to see an "A" show up magically, but no such luck. After turning in an assessment paper they get marked either: Not achieved, Achieved, or Mastered. A "Mastered" is equal to a 4.0 on the competency track, and to get a 4.0 you only need to score "Mastered" on 75%. I am pretty thrilled about this because it will help me in applying to JD programs to have a high GPA on a 4.0 scale!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Many Competency-Based programs award a 3.0 (Achieved-level) as the maximum available grade on a 4.0 scale. Tempo allows for students to master competencies as well, allowing a full range between 3.0 and 4.0 based on the credit equivalent weights of each Competency. A student can earn a successful grade of “Achieved” or “Mastered” for completion of a Competency. To earn “Mastered,” 75% of the Learning Objectives in a given Assessment must be scored at the Exceeds Expectations” level on the rubric.
Grade Type Grade Points
Mastered Equivalent to an “A” or 4.0
Achieved Equivalent to a “B” or 3.0
Not Achieved Equivalent to a “F” or 0.0
Transfer “TR” Not calculated into GPA
Fulfilled “TR” Calculated into GPA"
