Grade

by homework 10%, quizzes 10%, papers 25%, midterm 25% and final grade 30%. After all the information of the students was provided, the average in general was solved by using the Excel program. The Excel program solved everything, I just typed in the information that was provided and the equation for the program found the solution. It came to the conclusion, that the students final grade came out to be a 77% which gives us a letter grade of a C. Everything is done by Excel, but it is possible to…

students challenging their determined grade in hopes of a higher grade. Jane Vincent begins to support a stricter grading system where the teachers would round up a student’s grade if they earned a .5 or higher, or round the grade down if they obtained lower than a .5. The most beneficial consequence of this system is that a student’s grade could be changed between two letter grades, such as an A and a B, avoiding students who try to influence their borderline grades. An obvious implication for…

asked by instructors or professors on a piece of paper known as a test. Grades can be a process of students’ evaluation, but it is not the sole way to decide whether a student is smart or not. Grading must not be a part of education system because grades discourage learning with an increase in stress and no learning, motivating cheating, and pampering relationship among student-teachers and other fellow students. Getting good grades is the main motto of students when they start a class at…

the beginning of 7th grade in Waipahu Intermediate School. That student was a boy named Jarren Calizo. In Elementary, Jarren was a very determined academic student who always strived for ME (meets exceeds) grades, the elementary version of an A, and ended up achieving perfect grades every time. He worked independently a lot of times and helped confused classmates. During the summer of 2013, Jarren made a goal that he would achieve solid straight A’s throughout his entire 7th grade year. However,…

Should middle and high school students have to meet a grade requirement to participate in sports? On my opinion, I think students from middle and high school should have to meet a grade requirement to participate in sports. I agree to this term because middle and high school students should maintain a certain grade point average to play a sport. I do believe that middle and high school students should have to meet a grade requirement to be able to participate in a sports team. For example,…

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…

actually learning it, they may copy the work of peers or look up the answers. “In a class with no grades, students never have a reason to cheat. There’s no punishment awaiting them, if something isn’t done.”(Brilliant or Insane) If there were no grades, students would ultimately have no reason to cheat or look up grades. Grades also rank kids and make them feel negative about themselves. In a no-grade system, students evaluate themselves on what they need to improve, rather than someone…

Ten extra points on my average semester would not only add to my average grade but increase my gpa as a whole.

This class and algebra stresses me, knowing they're the only classes I’m not doing too well in.…

Wilson indicated that each student would receive feedback on their weekly writing assignment prior to the next weekly writing assignment, so that we may improve. Because these assignments accounted for ten percent of our grade, they make a letter grade difference in our final letter grade. Dr. Wilson only graded ONE weekly writing assignment that was returned to us. It was the first one, due and submitted on January 13, 2017, where the majority of the class received C’s. Exhibit B and exhibit C…

an American author and educator that speaks and writes about education and parenting is very much opposed to the traditional grading system. In his essay “From Degrading to De-Grading”, Alfie Kohn argues against it, he claim that students are so grade driven that it reduces their interest in learning, creativity and preference for challenging tasks. Not only that, it also encourages cheating, disrupt curriculum and waste teachers’ time. Rather than using the current grading system, he advocate…
