School of Medicine - Wayne State University

Dear students:

In addition to individual course grades in the first two segments, academic achievement is measured through end-of-segment scores, which are used to determine end-of-segment honors. The Wayne State University School of Medicine does not award honors for courses in the first two segments. End-of-segment scores are calculated using the average of the FINAL course percentages Human Disease Foundations I, II and III courses. For example, a student with final scores of 95.2% in HDF1, 89.4% in HDF2 and 92.5% in HDF3 will receive a segment 2 end-of-segment score of 92.17%. Please note that electives, P4, Service Learning, CEC and CSC are not used in the calculation of end-of-segment scores. Additionally, students' initial percent course score, prior to any exam retakes or course repeats, is used to calculate end-of-segment score. 

End-of-segment honors in the first two segments is awarded to students with an end-of-segment score that is one standard deviation or greater than the class mean. The class mean, standard deviation and end-of-segment score of individual students will be provided after the completion of the segment
