First of all, in the traditional system, their are more grades. Which can either help a student or hurt a student, with his or her grade. Lots of grades are good because, with lots of them you can bring up your grade. Which if you done the project idea, you wouldn't have them chances. That is why schools need to keep the traditional…

I give up on doing well in the mini-exams, but not matter what I do I still get a bad grade. This frustrates me a lot. Before coming to UMass I did have problems taking exams but at least, I used to pass them. I know is not your fault. I’m really worried about my grade. I’m not the type of student that waits until the last week of the semester to talk with the professor about my grade or how can I improve grades. I did all the extra credit in SONA and going to the discussion on Wednesdays. I…

On September 13th, 2015, Ms. McCready published an article titled, “Why You Shouldn’t Pay Children for Grades.” This article emphasized the negative effects that students obtain while they are rewarded with money for their grades on their school assignments. Ms. McCready includes information which matches her argument throughout the entire article. “But no matter how much we want it to, money can’t buy smarts, motivation or school success,” states McCready. As the author speaks to parents of…

I've posted your earned mid-term grades in English 111 on Banner and will be glad to discuss your situation with you individually sometime next week, if you'd like. These are information grades. As usual, knowledge is power: What the grade tells you gives you a chance to be pro-active in ways that might ensure your success in the course. A proper response to a mid-term grade is neither resignation nor smugness. Without my forcing the issue, the overall average at mid-term in my two sections…

Introduction Several factors in an individual’s social environment, such as their social network and physical health can serve to improve test scores, grade point average, class rank and SAT scores, however, other factors such as social media could possibly take away valuable study time and can distract students from their much needed studies. A student’s social network must include peers who are positively excelling in academic performance in order to be beneficiary to this student. Sports and…

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…

better grade. These downfalls often deprive me and other students from registering in rigorous courses, especially with an unweighted grading system. An unweighted grading system is a standard concept where the average of all class grades is based on a 4.0 scale (“Weighted”). No matter the difficulty of courses one takes, he cannot exceed a 4.0 GPA; all A’s are worth 4.0 points, and each letter grade decreases by one point to an F amounting to zero. The unweighted system focuses more on grades…

anything that everyone else understands. My freshman year in high school didn 't go so well then I thought it was going to. My grades slowly when down the drain, I didn 't care what my grades were until I realized if I didn 't get my act together I would be spending my whole summer vacation in summer school because I didn 't care what my grades were. In high school, my grades weren’t as the best than other individuals. Throughout my high school years, I had progressed. Freshman year I didn’t…

I desired to say that I have always been of the growth mindset but I realize that is not the case. For years I had carried the characteristics of an individual with a fixed mindset as hard as I fight it. I would only focus on the grades and if I did not receive the grade that…

as he does, maybe even harder and he always ends up with the best overall grade in the class. The last day of every year in elementary school, the students were handed their yearly report cards. My grades did not interest me at all as a 2nd grader. What mattered to me most was not my grades, but my reading level. Every year all of the students take a reading test a week before school ends. The test determined the reading grade level for each student. As I was handed the pasty white envelope…
