Acerca de la evaluación de expedientes académicos

Transcript evaluation is an assessment of academic performance. Preparing this type of an evaluation requires an understanding of the message conveyed by grades. Grading is, in fact, an abstract concept which we attempt to quantify. This is done by isolating the few absolute criteria in any type of assessment system – the highest level of achievement and the lowest level of achievement required to ‘pass’. This information is required regardless of grading scale type, whether letter, number, percentage, description, or any combination thereof. Moving forward, it becomes necessary to identify any perceivable performance categories and matching them with the categories contained in the US A-F scale accordingly. Stratification, or categorization of different levels of performance is frequently included on the credentials themselves, while many resources on international education systems contain this information as well as recommendations for conversion to the US grading scale.
