How do I list a one-time (post-bac) college course on academic resume?

Making a fancy CV/resume for grad school application (a masters in art education). I got my BA 6 years ago (sort of unrelated field), I took a class semi-related to my field of interest last summer at a good university. Is it odd to list this one course in the education section of my grad school resume? Do I list my grade (which was an A)? Where would you put it?
Yeah, I've done that before with an MA program that I dropped out of.

Yeah, I have an "Other Coursework" section in my extended CV. Doesn't seem professional to include the grade.

Definitely don't list your grade, that would be weird.

Best answer: Yeah, just don't make it sound like you walked away with a degree and you're fine. deadmessenger's phrasing is good. And yeah, don't list your grade, they'll be pulling your transcripts anyway.

Another thing you might do is create a "research skills" section, if it's something that can be described as a skill. For example, if it's a language (human or computer), you might say:
Research Skills
- Swahili, coursework at University of Mars, spring 2011.
