Demystifying Capella’s Grading Criteria

A cornerstone of Capella’s model is the detailed feedback provided by faculty. Rather than simply giving a grade and moving on, instructors at Capella offer pointed, constructive commentary on each section of an assessment.

This feedback is especially useful in the Capella Flexpath Assessment model, where students can revise and resubmit their work.Here’s the link to learn more: Capella Flexpath Assessment

Instructors are trained to highlight specific areas where students fell short of proficiency and recommend practical improvements. For example, if a student fails to meet expectations in APA formatting, the feedback may include a link to Capella’s writing center or examples of correct citation styles.

Let’s consider a nursing student completing nurs fpx 4065 assessment 1, which may involve creating a patient-centered care plan.
