I want to show that working hard and getting good grades doesn 't make a goody two-shoes at all. That it shows how willing you are to put in work so can succeed. As for me leaving a good legacy in 9th grade I wasn 't very effective. I was just going through the motions just hoping that I pass all my classes. My legacy that I left last year was I going to do my work but any given…
some were in-class. A few times I had thought it was suppose to be an online class and didnt show up for class. I also failed FOLK-F 111. A good portion of the grade was based on writing essays. I havent always been the stringest writer so i struggled in this area of the class. In high school I had never failed a class before. The grades i recieved for my first year of college…
Alyssa, the Tutor I was sitting in my sixth grade class, eager to see what we would be doing for the day. My teacher, Mrs. Sobus, was passing out papers from the tests we had last week. I had a feeling I did not do so well considering my scores from tests in the past. I anxiously sat in my seat and looked around the big, white classroom covered in shark images. As I looked around, I saw everyone talking to each other and being happy with their grades and there I sat with a devastated face. I…
professors are grading harder or easier so they do not lose their jobs. Grade inflation is becoming a major issue in college it seems.

this software, students often won’t receive any criteria they can base their progress on until they receive their grade. Most importantly, online courses that often feature class sizes over 500 students shows the key benefit that automatic essay grading software provides. The ease of reaching many students at once with an online lecture faces a bottleneck if one teacher is expected to grade the submissions from such a large class. This can be alleviated by adding teacher’s assistants or paid…
in a different high school might decide to drop out if they attended a school where many boys and girls did so.” -James S. Coleman. This quote illuminates an unfortunate truth. Imagine a very smart student in school. This female student is in 11th grade and performs well in and out of the class room. Now let’s assume that she has some friends that aren’t so intelligent. Her friends are always screwing around and not listening when they are at school. Eventually the behaviors of these friends…
The debate of students having to be required to have passing grades is a very difficult one to address either as the student, parent or teacher. I am not here saying that students should not be in sports while attending grade school. But if they are going to play sports, they should also have a grade point average of 2.0 and above to ensure that they don’t lose focus of school academics. First you would need to ask your self what’s the plan you and your child have set for them during and after…
opportunity that is in front of them. Students frequently do what is necessary for a traditional grade instead of showing a desire to learn and grow as a student. The study by Self-Brown and Mathews was devised to identify if various classroom structures effect goals that students have. The ultimate objective is to create a learning environment that rewards student gains and success, instead of the traditional grade based classroom structure. The study by Self-Brown and Mathews is about…
also created a website on grade inflation, which he has done much research on. Rojstaczer wrote “Grade Inflation Gone Wild”, an opinion editorial in the Christian Science Monitor, which is particularly focused on grade inflation in the United States. Rojstaczer claims that many people, professors, and administrators turn their backs on the ongoing grade inflation at universities and colleges which must be addressed and fixed. Rojstaczer highlights the impact that grade inflation has on students…
