The ENG 4A03 Challenge Course McMaster’s 12 point GPA system is represented by 12 levels. Start at
Level 0 and work through the challenges to advance your level. • Challenges are designed to encourage learning, not compare students
against each other: • Pass/ “Fail” Grading - No need to dispute minor discrepancies in
evaluator judgement. Need numbers? Think of a “pass” as approximately 75%.
• Relatively Short – There are a bunch of challenges, but the Stepping Stone and Ladder Rung challenges can be completed within ~1 hour. Other challenges give you more involved activities.
• Fail-Proof – “Fail” is in quotes because you only fail if you give up. Don’t pass the first time? No problem! Just redo it and resubmit. Learning is the goal, so multiple attempts are encouraged.
