Abstract
The influence of differing criteria for receiving a grade of A on unit exams (representing 75% of the course grade) in a college course was investigated. Group 1 students received an A if they scored 90% on each of the ten unit exams. Group 2 students were required to score 100% on nine of the exams. Group 3 students were required to accumulate 90% of the cumulative total points on the unit exams considered collectively. Group 2 students were significantly superior to those of the other groups in: (a) their performance on a common final exam (representing 25% of the course grade), and (b) their final course grade. Also, there were significantly more retakes among Group 2 students.
