I have been told by a friend of mine that the "ACK Grading system" is going to get improved and there are some updates regarding their "Grading system" which is a positive step from the ACK
The changes are "as i remember from what he said"
1- Any student that attends over 80% of class's will get a 5% increase in his final mark which is a good thing to motivate students to attend instead of cutting of marks, but if you attend less than 80% you don't gain anything except missing your lessons which is also bad.
2- The "90% and over to get an A" has been changed to its original percentage which is "85%" which is also a positive move from them.
The previous information was from a friend who said that his instructor told him this, nothing official yet from the ACK and no emails from any ACK staff has been sent regarding this.
This post will be updated with any new information and hoping to get an official email or announcement from the ACK really soon.
Enjoy your weekend.

Dear students
Please keep updated with the ACK Hyde Park blog, students feedback concern us.

Why should my attendance affect my grades at all?? I mean, I come to the COLLEGE(notice the caps!) to show em that I am learning something and that I can pass the tests they give me. Why would they care about my attendance? having a good attendance was important when u were a child (preliminary school, high school).. But hey?? we are in a COLLEGE.
Example: Imagine a student getting FULL MARKS on all his assessments and everything's fine (a genius), BUT his attendance is ~78%. WHY in the WORLD should he lose his well-earned A-grade?
Anyone agrees :)?
yes hamade what you said was true but the new rule is much more better because it motivates students to attend to gain more marks and a better grade which is a positive thing and if you did not attend you will lose the marks because you passed couple of lessons, in the end like we say in arabic "3aglek eb rasek wet3aref khala9ek" so if you want your marks attend and if you want to fail it is up to you.
i hope what i heard was true because this is a really good step towards improving the ACK
hope to see more improvements regarding the other issues soon with god's will.
Good news, i hope they apply this new grading system before the end of this semester, i know its a long shot, but .. emmm yeah

I think it's all talk...
Am TOTALLY agree with Hamade about wat he said
i mean look at me am in foundation lvl 3(i dont know how i fail the English test actually :/ , i passed the old English test but i fail the new one , long story ) and its really easy i mean REALLLLLY EASY , i think the very 1st classes r important then the rest r all the same , same subjects , same practices , i dont think attendance in foundation is that important but again college policy....oh well
hope this new grading system is true
