Academic/University Qualifications Explanation: As simple as that. Obviously, by using "academic" it includes other qualifcations from other institutions, e.g. an Further Education College(similar to Formación Profesional in Spain). This is what's on my CV! I hope it helps. NDP. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-05 18:15:51 (GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, I lied. On my CV, I use \"Academic Achievements\" (to make it sound a little more positive), but when I translated it directly to \"Logros Académicos\", more than one perso said to me that the Spanish don\'t do that & it would look a little strange. So much for self-promotion :) |

peer agreement (net): +5grade point average Explanation: Dear Robert and Neil. Sorry to disagree. I know that this question is closed, but the answer given for “índice académico” is wrong. Neil: In Venezuela we do use “logros académicos” (=academic achievements), but does not mean “índice académico”. “índice académico” is an index: it is a number representing the average grade points earned during a specific period in a course of study. The “índice académico” may refer to a semester, a year, or the whole course of study. It is always given at the end of each period (semester, year, or any other period). Please compare this definition with the one given by WEUDEL for the term “grade point average”: grade point average: Educ. A measure of scholastic attainment computed by dividing the total number of grade points received by the total number of credits or hours of course taken. Also called quality point average.
